Financial Management Systems for Construction Companies
Construction companies running multiple concurrent contracts need accounting that reflects contract status, not just cash movement.
This page looks at the finance systems and reporting rhythm that makes that possible. Our construction accounting service page covers the scope of work itself.
What gets in the way
Where the accounting usually breaks down
No WIP visibility
Without a work in progress schedule, overbilling looks like profit and underbilling looks like a bad month.
Overhead allocation
Indirect and equipment costs left unallocated make job margin look better than it is.
Bonding and lender requirements
Sureties and banks expect job schedules and consistent reporting on a predictable timetable.
Multi-month contracts
Revenue recognition and cost timing across long contracts distort monthly results when handled on a cash basis.
