Most builders use QuickBooks Pro for their bookkeeping, and for good reason - QuickBooks saves time in check writing, balancing, creating invoices, statements, and more. It can even help you figure where you've made or lost money in your estimates. But setting up QuickBooks Pro can be a nightmare for the contractor. And that's where Contractor's Guide to QuickBooks Pro comes in! Contractor’s Guide to QuickBooks Pro carefully explains how to set up QuickBooks Pro for your construction business, and how to use all the features that QuickBooks Pro offers. Contractor's Guide to QuickBooks Pro 2005 can save hours of time in setting up and putting to use all the new features that this 2005 edition offers. QuickBooks Pro isn't just for taxes. You can use it for payroll, keeping track of your vendors and subs -- even job costing (comparing your estimated costs to your actual costs and finding out where you're making and losing money.) Contractor’s Guide to QuickBooks Pro 2005 includes:
According to a recent national survey, more construction contractors use QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks than all other accounting programs combined. And for good reason. QuickBooks Pro excels at all the routine paperwork in a construction office: writing checks, keeping track of your bank balance, sending out invoices and statements, creating up-to-the-minute profit and loss statements for the month, year or by job, writing payroll checks, paying suppliers and subcontractors, tracking job costs, comparing estimated and actual costs for each job, and much more. This book was written because most construction pros aren’t accounting experts and have more important work to do at the job site. Contractor’s Guide to QuickBooks Pro 2005 will walk you step-by-step through QuickBooks Pro’s detailed setup procedure and then explain item-by-item how you should be using QuickBooks Pro every day. You’ll create a first-rate accounting system that’s an asset to your company in only days, rather than weeks. Here you’ll find simple, well-illustrated instructions for customizing setup including what each screen on your monitor should look like. This manual explains every choice you need to make and every button you need to click on. And it tells you how to get a trial version of QuickBooks Pro if you want to try it before buying, and includes two other programs you’ll want to use when estimating costs with QuickBooks Pro. Here’s what’s on the CD in the back of this manual: A QuickBooks Pro 2005 file preconfigured for a construction company. The file has a chart of accounts already entered, plus a complete set of memorized reports. Just plug in your own company data—vendors, subs, customers, etc. And at the click of a mouse, you have all the information needed to run your jobs. National Estimator, an easy-to-use estimating program with more than 100 pages of construction cost estimating data for general contractors. Dozens of other databases are available. (QuickBooks Pro doesn’t come with any estimating data.) Job Cost Wizard converts your National Estimator estimates into QuickBooks Pro estimates so you can create and send invoices, track job costs (charge every check to a cost category in your estimate) and compare actual and estimated costs. You’ll know exactly where you made and lost money on every job. Blank construction forms you can open on your computer (with nearly any of the popular word processing programs), customize, fill out, print and send to customers and subcontractors. With this book, the other programs included in this package, and QuickBooks Pro 2005, you have at your fingertips all the financial tools needed to keep a company running strong and in the black. Just add your own company data. ISBN 157218-156-7 344 pages, 8-1/2 x 11 CD ROM PC compatible |
