QuickBooks Construction Add On
Maximise QuickBooks Potential for Tracking Projects
Construction projects need more than QuickBooks. Add LiveCosts and get end-to-end tracking and reporting on your construction projects.
We are a QuickBooks Partner
See why thousands of construction contractors around the world choose LiveCosts to track their project costs with QuickBooks.
Why Livecosts & QuickBooks?
LiveCosts integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks Online to provide construction businesses with a powerful solution for tracking project costs. While QuickBooks Online manages overall financials and invoicing, LiveCosts focuses on real-time cost tracking, budgeting, and project-specific reporting.
By using both together, teams can easily manage project finances, ensuring that costs are accurately recorded and aligned with QuickBooks.
This integration enhances collaboration, improves project profitability, and enables businesses to make informed decisions, all while maintaining streamlined financial operations within QuickBooks Online.
Are you struggling with?
QuickBooks is not designed to manage complex construction projects & workflows. A plugin is a great way to add the parts you need.
LiveCosts enhances QuickBooks with real-time project reporting, enabling efficient, instant reporting and collaboration
Key project data often has to be manually kept in spreadsheets, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.
Construction Procurement
LiveCosts adds the construction context that QuickBooks lacks, managing purchase orders, site deliveries, and coding every cost against the project budget.
Dedicated permission sets mean the whole team can contribute, not just the office.
Benefits of procurement from LiveCosts:
- Costs are coded to a budget before they hit QuickBooks.
- Keep contractors, quantity surveyors, and admin in sync.
- Procurement reports are ready in seconds, not built in Excel.
Manage Project Costs from Site
Most cost tracking breaks down at the job site, not in the office.
LiveCosts’ iOS and Android apps let you log labour time and record deliveries from the job site, with receipts flowing to the office for real-time approval.
Benefits of Mobile Cost Tracking:
- Create POs straight from the job site.
- Log labour hours against the job using your mobile app.
- Record deliveries as they arrive on site.
Automate Invoice Processing
LiveCosts scans your invoices and receipts, pulls the data, and matches it against the purchase order and delivery before payment. Approved bills post to QuickBooks on their own, coded and matched.
Benefits of Invoice Extraction:
- Auto-Extract Invoice Data and sync to QuickBooks
- 3 way match invoices to Purchase Orders and Deliveries
- Replace manual data entry into QuickBooks
Generate Instant Reports
See cost vs income, what’s outstanding, and what’s billed, updated in real time, not at month’s end. Monitor profit margins and cost-to-complete on one job or across all of them.
Benefits of Project Reports:
- Real-time cost tracking, no lag
- Project P&Ls on demand
- One view across every job
“The ease of use, quick support, and tangible benefits make LiveCosts a no-brainer. It consolidates hundreds of invoices each week into one easy system, saving time and reducing human error.”
“LiveCosts has reduced our accounts data entry by over 60%, freeing the team to focus on more valuable work. What you pay for the system, you save many times over. It gives you full control, saves time, and keeps your finances in check. Cash is king, and LiveCosts helps you protect it.”
“I think that month end WIP process is a lot slicker. Now when Finance and Operations leave the room, we’re all on the same page. There’s no massive queries around finance supposed to cost the wrong job, missing data, that type of thing. Which detracts from the process. So the removal of all those queries, has been a bit of a game changer.”
“The most beneficial aspect of LiveCosts is the cost and reports for each project and the live profit margins. They’re being shown right there on the home page once you log in so it’s easy and clear to see all the real-time information with our reports being pulled up within minutes.”
