Construction accounting software like Sirius GT Construction Accounting for Windows will help you manage all of your job costing needs. Construction companies need to know if they are making money or not. Primary concerns of a construction company are job cost, payroll and estimating.
Construction accounting requires a true real-time job cost. Sirius GT Construction Accounting has you covered.
Sirius Job Cost brings together the contract, estimate, expenses, billings, and purchases (committed) from all facets of the Sirius GT Construction Accounting system into a database for reporting and control. Job cost detail may be input directly into the Job Cost application or be posted automatically from the interfacing modules of the Sirius GT Construction Accounting system. For each phase of each job, detailed reports and queries of work in progress or completed tasks provide the information necessary to increase company profitability. There are many canned reports in the job cost module and it even includes a simple report writer to create specific job cost reports.
Sirius Payroll is a complete construction accounting payroll system that provides you with easy input; comprehensive reporting including union and benefit reports, labor distribution, and quarterly and annual tax reports; checks; and complete multi-year history of checks and input. Multiple pay frequencies (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly) can all be processed during one run. The Payroll application easily handles multiple pay rates, prevailing wages, multiple state taxes, multiple local taxes, special pay, standard deductions, and special deductions for each employee. And of course, it will print the 941 and W2's as well as handle direct deposit.
Sirius Estimating is designed for quick and accurate assembly of all aspects of a project into a complete bid. When you receive the contract, the estimate can be automatically transferred to Sirius Job Cost and Item (AIA) Billing applications. Sirius Estimating is designed around the estimating database, which you can build manually, load from your Sirius Inventory, or load from one of several supported pricing services. Using the database, you can build and update item assemblies (bill of materials) to speed the creation of an estimate. The takeoff (estimate input/update) is on-line and enables you to enter items, call in assemblies, or select items from the database with ease. Costs are controlled by labor, material, and four other user defined cost types within each phase of the project. Labor rates, labor fringes, taxes, overhead and profit are automatically calculated for each item. Estimate templates can also be set up to be called in and modified as needed. Multiple estimators are handled within Sirius Estimating and each estimator's projects are kept separate while all have access to the common database and assemblies. Sirius Estimating can be run as a stand-alone application with Sirius Menu and Office Manager, or integrated with Sirius GT Construction Accounting.
Sirius Item Billing is designed expressly for contractors and sub-contractors. It has the capability to produce a progress type billing detailing the percent complete for each item (phase) of the project, or an item billing (similar to the American Institute of Architects [AIA] billing format) which details each item (phase) by quantity in place. Features include the ability to track original contract, billed to date, change orders pending, change orders approved, stored materials, units or percent of work complete, retainer, and previous amount billed. Billings can be manually created, or automatically generated from Sirius Estimating. As each billing is finalized, the amount and retainer is posted to Sirius Accounts Receivable (which is required to run Sirius Item Billing). Through Accounts Receivable the billed amount will interface to Sirius Job Cost and General Ledger.
Sirius Accounts Payable provides control of your payments by vendor and by job to keep you on top of your cash flow. Extensive monthly reports maintain the necessary detail and history to enhance management of your payables and satisfy audit requirements. On-line inquiry into paid and unpaid invoices give you complete control over your payables. On-line selection of what to pay makes check writing easy. Vendors are maintained separately from suppliers in Purchase Order, but may be extracted from the Purchase Order module.
Sirius Purchase Order provides for the generation and tracking of purchases. The system tracks each item you order by type (for a job, customer, requisition, or stock). As you create a purchase order, each item can either be posted to the Inventory on-order quantity, or the committed in Job Cost. As invoices are input into Accounts Payable, the purchase order can be displayed and updated with the quantity and amount, and the inventory or job cost updated with the actual cost. Inquiries and reports can be sorted by job, inventory item, customer, supplier, requisition, buyer, subcontractor, and status. Information is consolidated from Purchase Order to produce subcontractor reports. When interfaced to Accounts Payable, purchase order receipts can be entered either in the Purchase Order module or in Accounts Payable. Suppliers are maintained separately from vendors in Accounts Payable, but can be extracted from the Accounts Payable application.
Sirius Accounts Receivable keeps your company on top of invoices and cash receipts with an open-item accounts receivable. A complete sales history lets you inquire into any invoice and provides detail or summary sales analysis or commission reports. On-line updating as you enter each transaction or post each invoice batch gives you an up-to-the-minute accounts receivable balance, monthly sales, aging, and inventory on-hand. Comprehensive monthly and history reporting provides you with a secure audit trail and excellent customer or item history. Customer information such as average days to pay, average invoice balance, and sales by month give you the facts you need.
Sirius Equipment Control application is designed to assist you in controlling the profitability of each of your equipment items. Billings for rental or usage posted to the job are stored and compared against the costs incurred for service, fuel, overhead, and depreciation to arrive at the profit per equipment item. Maintenance per item is handled through input of actual meter readings and service dates. Through the use of recommended hours between service and the meter readings, equipment items can easily be flagged for service. Labor costs for maintenance can be posted directly from Payroll to each piece of equipment in Equipment Control.
Sirius Inventory Control is designed to perform all functions relating to the control of inventory items. Purchase orders update on-order inventory, and receipts can be entered through either Sirius Purchase Order or Accounts Payable. Orders in process from Sirius Order Entry update committed inventory
Sirius General Ledger consolidates all your financial information from your other Sirius applications into one area with complete audit trails and flexible report and statement generation. General Ledger can be integrated to other Sirius applications to provide a complete solution for your accounting and auditing requirements, or can be run by itself. Your Sirius Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Equipment Control modules interface to General Ledger to automatically post your credit and debit accounts.
Sirius Bank Reconciliation enables you to monitor and control, on a daily basis, up to 15 bank accounts per company, maintaining your account balances, check detail, deposits and miscellaneous transactions. Reconciliation with your bank statement is made easy with the on-line transaction check-off. Integrate Bank Reconciliation with Sirius Payroll and Accounts Payable to automatically post all checks written, and with Sirius Accounts Receivable to post deposits.
