Builders accounting software: Building Industry Accounts

Builders accounting software

We are often asked what the difference is between Builders accounting software and standard accounts software.

Builders accounting software deals with all the unique requirements of the building industry such as Job Costing, the CIS scheme, Applications, Certifications and Retentions.

Whilst standard accounting systems may deal with some of the above through additional modules, Builders accounting software, such as CIA, deals with these as standard.  There is no concession or “work arounds” to try to get some of the information you need, whilst keeping other records for everything else.

Builders accounting software packages should be fully integrated; meaning information is entered once and automatically updates all necessary components. E.g. enter a subcontractor’s invoice, the accounts, VAT, job costing and CIS are all dealt with.

By investing in a dedicated Builders accounting software package you will save time and money and make less mistakes.  Instead of updating extra spreadsheets to make up for the weaknesses in your current system, you will have the time to take advantage of the extra management information you can get at a press of a button.

Job costing is the most important aspect for many of our customers and this is where Builders accounting software is irreplaceable, if you need more convincing then look through the rest of this site and make sure you check out the thoughts of existing customers.
