What We Do

Integrating the systems construction businesses actually use

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.

We do this so:

Job costs land on the right jobs
Revenue and billing align with progress
Payroll and burden are accurate
Reconciliations actually tie
Dashboards and reports can be trusted
This service exists because construction systems do not stay aligned on their own. We make them work together and keep them that way.
The Diagnosis

Why Finance Systems Break in Construction

Finance systems in construction break because the business runs across too many tools that were never designed to work together.

Tools that were never meant to talk

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.

Misalignment causes data to drift

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 decay over time

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.

Spreadsheets become the patch

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.

The Approach

Our Integration and Systems Philosophy

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

How This Service Supports Accounting, Controller, and CFO Work

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.

How Pricing Typically Works

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.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from construction businesses considering ongoing accounting and bookkeeping support

What finance systems and integrations do you support for construction businesses?

We provide construction finance systems and integrations that connect your operational tools to your accounting system. Most commonly, we integrate QuickBooks Online, Foundation, ServiceTitan, and Knowify so job costing, billing, payroll, and expenses flow correctly into your general ledger. This creates reliable construction financial reporting you can trust.

Do you integrate ServiceTitan with QuickBooks Online for job costing?

Yes. We integrate ServiceTitan with QuickBooks Online so invoices, payments, customers, job costs, and service revenue sync cleanly. We also set up mapping so jobs and cost codes align correctly, which reduces manual cleanup and improves job costing accuracy across service and project work.

Can you integrate Knowify with QuickBooks Online for contractor accounting?

Yes. We integrate Knowify with QuickBooks Online to support job costing, estimates, progress billing, and project tracking. We ensure job setup, cost codes, and customer mapping are consistent so Knowify data posts to the right jobs in QuickBooks, improving contractor bookkeeping and construction reporting.

Do you support Foundation accounting system integrations?

Yes. We support Foundation system integration and configuration so job costing, WIP, and construction reporting remain accurate. If you use Foundation alongside other tools, we help align job structures, cost types, and workflows so your financial data stays consistent across systems.

How do you make sure job costs land on the correct jobs and cost codes?

We start with job and cost code alignment across QuickBooks Online, ServiceTitan, Foundation, and Knowify. Then we configure integration rules so labor, materials, subcontractors, and overhead allocations post correctly. We also validate postings with system-to-ledger reconciliation so job costing stays clean and reliable.

What happens if an integration breaks or the sync stops working?

We provide ongoing integration monitoring and error resolution. If the sync breaks, we identify the root cause, fix mapping issues, resolve failed transactions, and revalidate the data in the accounting system. This prevents reporting errors, broken reconciliations, and job costing drift.

Can you connect multiple systems into one accounting platform?

Yes. Many contractors run multiple tools at once. We set up a construction finance stack where systems like ServiceTitan, Knowify, payroll, and spend tools feed into QuickBooks Online or Foundation without duplicate entries or mismatched data. The goal is one clean source of truth for construction accounting.

How do you validate accuracy after integrations go live?

We validate integrations by reconciling system outputs to the general ledger, reviewing job cost postings, testing billing and payment flows, and confirming payroll and AP mapping. We also run reporting checks to confirm job profitability reports and dashboards match actual accounting data.

Is this a one-time integration setup or ongoing systems support?

It is an ongoing finance systems and integration support service. Construction systems change constantly, new jobs, cost codes, workflows, crews, billing structures. We maintain and update the integrations so the finance stack stays reliable, and construction reporting stays accurate month after month.

How does systems integration improve job costing, WIP, and construction reporting?

Construction job costing and WIP reporting only work when the underlying data is consistent. By integrating QuickBooks Online, Foundation, ServiceTitan, and Knowify correctly, job costs post accurately, revenue aligns with progress, payroll allocates properly, and reconciliations tie out. This results in cleaner financials, more accurate WIP, and reporting that supports real decision-making.
