This Podcast Is Episode Number 0271, And It Will Be About QuickBooks Training For Land Developers And Spec Builders

Using QuickBooks For Your Land Acquisition, Land Development,

And Spec Home Building Company Looks Simple - But It's Not!

Many Land Developers and Spec Home Builders set up QuickBooks or hire someone to do it for them, and they do not understand the difference between Construction Accounting and Regular Accounting the results can be disastrous when you need Work-In-Progress, Job Costing, Estimates Vs. Actuals, Profit & Loss, and Balance Sheet Reports that accurately reflect the financial state of your Construction Company.

The last thing you want to do in give your banker or investor a Profit & Loss Report showing your company is losing massive amounts of money simply because QuickBooks was set up wrong for your type of business.

Knowing how to use Work-In-Progress, Direct and Indirect Construction Costs is key. Understanding Overhead, Other Expenses, and Other Income compounds are also important. Bankers, lenders, investors, construction company owners, and other stakeholders need accurate, timely reports. Proper QuickBooks set up, and Construction Accounting is the foundation to provide them.


Here Are Some Things To Consider:

  1. You can use QuickBooks Desktop to track all the costs and generate Complex Payment Applications Item Estimates vs. Actuals, Job Profitability Summary, and Job Profitability Detail Reports to monitor progress, so the setup QuickBooks process is critical and needs to be done by a QuickBooks expert in construction accounting.

  2. Your QuickBooks needs a process to include the Key Performance Indicators For Contractor Success(KPI) to monitor the financial health of your construction company.

  3. Your QuickBooks will need to have between 1,000 to 2,500 accounts in the Chart of Accounts to track WIP costs during the construction process from beginning to end to get the QuickBooks reports you need.

  4. Your QuickBooks will need to have between 2,000 to 3,000 Cost Codes (QuickBooks Items) to track the detailed WIP Construction costs and facilitate the movement from WIP to Cost of Goods Sold when the project is complete and moved to company inventory or sold to an outside buyer.

  5. You will need accounts and cost codes (QuickBooks Items) to track retention.
