Job Costing/Accounts Package
Permalink Closed

Hello 

I need advice on which accounts package to recommend to a builder/developer.

The company has various projects, and next to produce P&L accounts for each project.

There then has to add in overheads etc.

The customer suggested Vixen software (one I had never heard of) but thought it could be a bespoke software produced for his previous employers.

The customer doesn't want to go down the Sage route.

Any recommendations from book-keepers who work with builders would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

 

Rob

I've used Quickbooks in this way for quite a few clients, including a building company.

I am in a similar situation with a publisher who wants to report of profit per book. Can you let me know which bits of Quickbooks you use to report on this. How can I record marketing costs, print costs etc for each book separately and get a profit per book? I will also need general overheads for the company. Is it using Jobs or Classes? Not sure which is the best way. I have the Accountants edition.
Thanks
