Contractor job costing: recorded costs and project margins.

Job Financials tracks project value, recorded labor, vendor bills and other expenses, with cost and margin views. Purchase commitments can be viewed separately from recorded costs. Access requires appropriate accounting permissions and company setup. Confirm any automatic original-budget comparison you need across cost categories.

Keep project value and costs distinct

Your customer contract value is different from what it costs to deliver the work. Job Financials brings the recorded costs and project value into cost and margin views so your office can review the job.

Review recorded labor, bills and expenses

Recorded labor, vendor bills and other project expenses contribute to cost tracking. The figures depend on the records your team enters or links to the project. Review the underlying entries with an authorized accounting user.

See commitments separately

Purchase commitments describe work or purchases committed to the project. Recorded costs describe posted or recorded expenses. Review them separately to understand what has been committed and what has already been recorded.

Confirm the budget comparison your company needs

If you need original estimates compared with actual labor and materials by category, demonstrate that exact workflow with your company configuration. Cost tracking and margin views are available capabilities; a complete automatic original-budget comparison across all categories needs separate confirmation.

Work with the right permissions

Job Financials requires appropriate accounting permissions and company setup. A lead-management user does not automatically receive financial access. Confirm the reporting workflow and roles for your team before relying on it.

How do subcontractor bids relate to project costs?

The subcontract workflow supports bid invitations, subcontractor responses, evaluation, awards and work orders, including subcontract change orders. This is separate from the Business plan onboarding form for W-9s and agreements. Manager permissions, eligible subcontractors and communication setup are required.
