How working with a business expert can save you time

Unlock growth in construction with QuickBooks experts. Speak with a QuickBooks Solution Provider who knows construction and contracting.

Many construction companies were built by people with a can-do attitude. As their businesses grew, they did what it took to get the job done. Sometimes this meant long hours of paperwork and bookkeeping tasks at the end of busy workdays at the job site. For others, it’s relying on a small finance team to handle many tasks—from invoicing and payroll to job costing and paying bills. 

When you are strapped for resources, it can feel like the easiest way forward is to do it all yourself. But working with a business growth expert who can set up a system to streamline your workload and reduce the paperwork can save you time and money in the long run. As you think about growing your business and building the capacity to take on more projects, setting up the right software solutions is a key step to achieving your goals. 

There are many reasons why businesses turn to advising experts to help them achieve their goals. At Intuit, our QuickBooks Solution Providers (QSPs) are a trusted resource available for our customers. Here are three main reasons why you may consider consulting with a QSP about your business software needs: 

#1: They get your industry 

QSPs specialize in the industries where they focus. That means our QSPs in construction and contracting understand your business and your finance needs. They know the importance of accurate job costing, cash flow management, project accounting, cost estimation and compliance, and they can help you develop a business management solution to address your needs.  

Because QuickBooks is such a flexible solution with more than 750 app integrations, an expert QSP can help you take away the stress of trying to research options. Our QSPs will provide experience-led suggestions for the right tools and solutions that will make your life easier, and your business run more efficiently. 

#2: They can identify the right solution for you 

One of the benefits of working with a QSP is that they can help you build the business management solution that fits the needs of you and your line of work. For example, QSPs can advise when you need to invest in new tools and recommend business processes that can be implemented to decrease time spent on operations. They can also help you learn to use and customize QuickBooks to meet your unique business needs. 

They can also help you build software integrations and provide outsourced services—including bookkeeping, payroll and financial controller services—so you don’t have to make additional hires. In fact, many QSPs can handle the project needs of their clients from concept to installation through support. 

#3: They are a resource for you 

The nice thing about working with a QSP is that they are there for you when you have questions. They can provide a wealth of resources beyond your immediate business needs, connecting your growth plan goals to apps to optimize all your business flow solutions.  

As you take on new projects and grow your business, you will inevitably face new questions and have evolving needs for finance and accounting assistance. When you have a relationship with a QSP, they can help guide you to the answers to your questions and ensure that your business tools and solutions are working for you!
