Cost to complete is real here, not a guess. My PMs see margin erosion in week three and can actually do something about it.

QuickBooks could not answer the only question that mattered
Certified payroll for prevailing wage work used to take our bookkeeper two days a week. It is now a report. We took on more public work specifically because that constraint disappeared.

It is a Windows application and it looks like one from a decade ago. Our younger PMs comment on it. Then they use it, because it answers questions nothing else answers.

AIA G702 and G703 come out of the system correctly. We built those in Excel for nine years and every single one was a chance to make an expensive mistake.

QuickBooks told us we were profitable at the end of the year. This tells us whether this job is profitable this week. That is the entire difference and it is worth every hour of the migration.

Retainage tracked on both sides at last
Committed costs from purchase orders and subcontracts show up before the invoice arrives, so I see the overrun coming instead of discovering it at closeout. We have changed how we bid because of what it showed us.

Estimating needs real setup before it pays
Implementation was three months and genuinely hard. Our data was a mess and the chart of accounts had to be rebuilt for job costing. Worth it, and nobody told us how much of the work would be ours.

Great once you are through implementation
Everything happens in the office. Crews on site interact with it through somebody at a desk, because the mobile story is thin. It works. It is also clearly designed around a 1990s org chart.

The learning curve is steeper than the sales process suggested. Our bookkeeper of fifteen years struggled for two months and seriously considered leaving. It came right, and it was a genuinely difficult quarter.
