Construction focused finance systems, integrations, and ongoing technical oversight to keep job costing, reporting, and dashboards accurate and reliable.
Built for contractors running multiple systems who need their data to sync correctly and stay accurate over time. We integrate ServiceTitan, Knowify, Jobber, Buildertrend, and Procore with accounting platforms like QuickBooks Online, Foundation, and Sage 100 Contractor.
We also connect payroll and expense tools such as ADP, Gusto, and Ramp to support clean job costing, accurate WIP reporting, and reliable construction financial dashboards.
Construction specific system integrations
Ongoing sync monitoring and data integrity
Built to support accounting, controller, and CFO work
We integrate the core systems construction businesses actually use so financial data flows correctly and stays accurate.
Accounting systems like QuickBooks Online, Foundation, and Sage are the financial source of truth. Everything else needs to map cleanly into these systems.
Construction and operations platforms such as Procore, Buildertrend, ServiceTitan, Knowify, and Jobber are where jobs, costs, labor, and billing activity originate. We integrate these so job costs, revenue, and progress hit the correct jobs and cost codes in accounting.
Payroll systems like ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks Payroll, and Gusto are integrated so labor, payroll taxes, and burden are allocated correctly to jobs instead of sitting in lump sums.
AP and spend tools such as Bill.com, Ramp, and Melio are connected so vendor bills, payments, and credit card activity sync cleanly without breaking reconciliations.
Time tracking and reporting tools like QuickBooks Time, ClockShark, Power BI, and Fathom are integrated so hours, costs, and dashboards are built on real data, not manual exports.
This service exists because construction systems do not stay aligned on their own. We make them work together and keep them that way.
Finance systems in construction break because the business runs across too many tools that were never designed to work together.
Jobs are created in construction systems like Procore, Buildertrend, ServiceTitan, Knowify, or Jobber, while accounting lives in QuickBooks Online, Foundation, or Sage. Payroll runs through tools like ADP, Paychex, or Gusto, and billing or payables flow through platforms such as Bill.com, Ramp, or Melio.
When charts of accounts, cost codes, jobs, and customers are not aligned across these systems, data starts drifting. Job costs land on the wrong jobs, revenue no longer matches progress, and reconciliations stop tying out. Over time, reporting becomes unreliable and teams resort to spreadsheets instead of fixing the underlying systems.
Systems also break over time. New jobs are added, cost codes change, crews move, billing methods evolve, and integrations are rarely updated to match those changes. Sync errors get ignored, manual workarounds creep in, and small issues compound into unreliable reporting.
Cost construction teams end up patching problems in spreadsheets instead of fixing the system. This service exists to prevent that by addressing issues at the system level before they affect accounting, reporting, or decision making.
We treat finance systems as infrastructure, not tools.
Our philosophy is simple. Accounting must be the source of truth, and every connected system must map cleanly into it. We do not force workflows to fit software. We align systems to how construction work is actually performed, then lock that structure in.
We prioritize clean charts of accounts, consistent cost codes, and disciplined job setup before building integrations. If the foundation is wrong, no amount of syncing will fix the output. Integrations are designed to reduce manual work, not hide problems.
We also assume systems will change. New jobs, new cost codes, new crews, new billing structures. Our approach is built around ongoing ownership, not one time setup. When something breaks, we fix the root cause at the system level so accounting, reporting, and dashboards remain reliable.
The goal is not more technology. The goal is fewer failures, cleaner data, and systems you can trust month after month
We integrate and support the core systems construction businesses rely on to run jobs, manage costs, process payroll, and report financial performance. Platforms are grouped by function to ensure data flows correctly across the entire finance stack.
Integrations are scoped around the systems you already use. We do not force tools. We ensure your existing platforms work together accurately and stay aligned over time.
Testimonials from construction businesses we support with ongoing accounting and bookkeeping.
“Firstuction is the only bookkeeping team we’ve found that truly understands construction accounting and WIP reporting. They took six months of messy data, cleaned our financials, and showed us exactly where we were profitable and where we were leaking money. Their attention to detail and responsiveness is unmatched. They are a true partner.”

This service follows a structured, repeatable process focused on system reliability.
This process ensures your finance systems remain accurate, connected, and dependable over time.
Finance systems only matter if the data they produce can be trusted. This service exists to make sure every other finance function can do its job properly.
For accounting, integrated systems ensure transactions, payroll, job costs, and billing flow cleanly into the general ledger. This reduces manual corrections, reconciliation issues, and month end delays.
For controller services, reliable integrations allow job margins, WIP, and reconciliations to be reviewed and validated without chasing data across systems. Oversight becomes about accuracy and control, not cleanup.
For CFO services, clean system level data enables forecasting, cash flow planning, modeling, and decision support. Strategy only works when the underlying data is consistent and dependable.
By owning the finance tech stack, this service removes system related noise so accounting, controller, and CFO work can focus on insight, oversight, and decisions rather than fixing broken integrations.
This service is designed for construction businesses that want proactive tax planning and reliable compliance.
Pricing for finance systems and integrations is structured around an ongoing monthly engagement.
Scope is driven by the number of systems in use, integration complexity, volume of data flowing between platforms, and the level of ongoing monitoring and optimization required. Businesses with multiple construction platforms, payroll systems, and reporting tools typically require broader support.
One time setup or integration fees may apply during onboarding to design mappings, configure systems, and validate data before ongoing maintenance begins.
