Features
Everything a construction accounting department actually needs — in one system.
Not a slide deck. This is the real product, screen by screen — the same screens a controller opens every day, not a lighter demo version.
The WIP engine
Live and Definitive WIP — one click, two modes
Live WIP is available at any moment during an open period, computed from every posted transaction and clearly labeled a working estimate — for the PM checking margin on a Tuesday or the owner scanning the portfolio. Definitive WIP is produced at period close, after overhead allocation, labor burden, and WIP adjusting entries are finalized: frozen, archived, reconciled to the general ledger on its face — underbillings tie to CIE, overbillings tie to BIE, to the penny. It can never silently change.
The report your surety wants stops being a spreadsheet and a weekend. It's the same click on day one of the period and the day you close it — just a different, clearly labeled mode.
- Live WIP for decisions; Definitive WIP as the certified, bank-and-bonding-grade artifact
- Reconciliation footer proves the WIP ties to the general ledger, not a side calculation
- Frozen at close — a period-close WIP schedule can never be quietly edited afterward
Job cost
Cost-to-complete, per cost code
A six-column job cost report — budget, committed, billed, actual, projected, variance — per cost code, with a reconciliation footer proving the job cost subledger ties to the general ledger. Projected cost is a stated rule (the maximum of revised budget, committed, billed, and actual), not a guess buried in a formula.
A PM asking 'where does this job actually stand' gets one screen that answers it, not five spreadsheets that disagree with each other and with the books.
- Committed-cost and purchase-order reporting: budget vs. committed vs. invoiced vs. remaining
- Every job-cost transaction writes the job cost ledger and the GL in the same motion
- Drill-through on every figure to the postings behind it
Get paid
AIA billing, retainage, and AR — without the manual package
AIA-style progress billing — schedule of values, pay applications, stored materials — with the G702/G703 PDF package generated straight from the books, exactly what the owner's lender expects. Retainage receivable is tracked per job with aging and a release workflow. AR aging runs by project, and customer receipts handle unapplied cash and NSF reversal, with cash-in-transit modeled explicitly.
The pay-app package a lender expects gets generated instead of assembled by hand at 9pm the night before it's due — and nothing falls through the cracks on retainage or unapplied cash.
- Schedule of values, pay applications, and stored materials in one workflow
- Retainage receivable per job with aging and a release workflow
- AR aging by project; unapplied-cash and NSF handling built in, not bolted on
Pay & comply
AP with real compliance holds, and certified payroll done right
Full AP with two-stage approval, check/ACH payments, discounts, and voids. Subcontractor compliance — COI tracking, W-9s, lien waivers — comes with payment holds that actually block payment until compliance clears, not just a warning banner. Retainage payable is tracked per subcontractor per job, and 1099s accumulate all year with year-end reporting and e-file support. Certified payroll handles day-by-day hours, work classifications, and prevailing-wage and fringe tracking, rendering the federal WH-347 form with its signed Statement of Compliance from payroll already imported from ADP or Paychex.
No one accidentally cuts a check to a sub whose insurance lapsed last month, and a Davis-Bacon job stops being a Friday-afternoon fire drill — the WH-347 renders from data that's already in the system.
- Two-stage AP approval with check/ACH payments, discounts, and voids
- Payment holds that actually block payment on expired COI, missing W-9s, or unresolved lien waivers
- Certified payroll: day-by-day hours, prevailing wage, and a signed WH-347 — rare at this price point
Know your jobs
Change orders, profit fade, and equipment — the whole job-cost picture
Change-order accounting covers both approved and pending, on both the prime and cost sides. The profit fade report — the surety's favorite question — is answered on screen instead of assembled after the fact. Cash flow runs by job, P&L segments by division, and an equipment master with rates lets time entries allocate equipment cost to jobs at the cost-code level through the same journal engine, so equipment shows up in cost-to-complete exactly like labor does.
The profit-fade conversation happens on your terms, weeks before the surety turns it into a question you have to answer under pressure.
- Change-order accounting, approved and pending, prime and cost sides
- Profit fade report — margin trend per job, on screen, not reconstructed after the fact
- Equipment costing through the same journal engine that runs labor and materials
Close the books
A guided close, a confidence-scored bank rec, and a bonding-grade package
A twelve-step guided period close runs system-executed steps — equipment allocation, overhead allocation, WIP calculation, WIP adjusting entries — with rollback support, ending in a bonding-grade close package: statements, WIP schedule, agings, and a tie-out report in one PDF. Overhead allocates with a cap-and-spillover variance close; labor burden runs by employee class across nine components. Bank reconciliation works from uploaded CSV/OFX statements with a confidence-scored auto-matcher — above 85% confidence, lines match automatically, and a candidate band gets a one-click 'accept all,' turning a 200-transaction reconciliation into a minutes-long job.
Month-end stops being the week nobody wants. The close runs the same disciplined steps every period, and a reconciliation that used to eat an afternoon becomes a handful of clicks.
- Twelve-step guided close with system-executed steps and rollback support
- Confidence-scored bank rec auto-matcher — accept-all on the candidate band
- A bonding-grade close package — statements, WIP, agings, tie-out — one PDF
One company or a group
Standalone books per company, combined the way a CPA builds them by hand
Each company in a group is a complete, standalone set of books — its own chart, close calendar, and audit trail, not an entity column bolted onto one ledger. The group layer is derived and read-only: combined statements (never 'consolidated' — that judgment belongs to your CPA under ASC 810) show a column per company, an eliminations column, and a total. Intercompany is flagged at the source through due-to/due-from control accounts, with an eliminations engine that proposes entries a person reviews and posts. An org chart is the control surface — parent, companies, ownership percentages, N-deep trees — and it doubles as where you create or connect a company. A combined bonding package refuses to render until every member company's period is closed, and divisions cover the single-company case without the group machinery.
A CFO overseeing several related companies gets one control surface instead of six figures quoted by Viewpoint Vista, CMiC, or Sage 300 CRE — and never accidentally grants posting rights in a company they only meant to read.
- Each company individually closable and auditable — never a shared ledger with an entity column
- Combined statements presented exactly the way a CPA builds them by hand, eliminations column included
- Group users hold read-only reporting rights on a separate access plane — visibility never grants posting power
AI in SCPM
AI that never invents a number
The accounting engine computes every number; the AI explains, organizes, and accelerates it — it never invents a figure and never posts to the books. At setup, AI proposes the mapping from a legacy chart of accounts and cost codes into a staging area a human reviews and confirms. Day to day, an analyst narrates every report in plain English and answers questions grounded only in the same engine data behind the real screen. Every morning, a margin overwatch briefing opens the executive dashboard: projects, backlog, margin through last close, cash position, who's overbilled and underbilled — every sentence traces to a number, and every number drills to the ledger.
The migration that used to eat a weekend becomes an afternoon with AI-assisted mapping, and the executive gets a briefing instead of a data dump — one that carries the same authority as the books, because it can only narrate what the engine already computed.
- AI-assisted chart and cost-code mapping into a staging area — a human confirms every line
- Plain-English narratives on WIP, profit fade, cash flow, and agings, grounded in engine data only
- A daily margin overwatch briefing for the executive — every sentence traces to a number
Trust & security
Accounting you can prove — architecturally, not just contractually
Posted journal entries are immutable — enforced by database triggers, not just application code — so even a bug can't rewrite a posted entry. The database itself refuses postings to a closed period outside a dual-control prior-period-adjustment workflow. An independent integrity auditor recomputes balances from raw journal lines and compares them to every materialized balance and subledger tie, on the production database, on a schedule — not 'we have tests,' the actual books re-derived from first principles nightly. Bank statements come in as uploaded CSV/OFX files — no screen-scraping, no stored bank logins, no aggregators, permanently. Sensitive fields carry column-level encryption, roughly 200 capability keys gate every financial action, and an append-only audit log records actor, timestamp, and before/after state for every financial mutation.
This is the section that lets you hand the login to your CPA without a caveat — every figure they question, they can drill straight to the posting behind it.
- Append-only ledger — reversals only, enforced by the database itself
- No bank credentials, ever — statements are uploaded files, never a stored login
- Architected for SOC 2 Type II — capability-based permissions and an append-only audit trail on every mutation
