QuickBooks and T&M Invoicing Challenges

QuickBooks is an excellent accounting tool for contractors at the early stages of growth. However, as these companies grow and diversify their contracting, they run into QuickBooks’ limitations.  QuickBooks users regularly face challenges when generating Time & Materials (T&M) invoices.

 

QuickBooks is not designed for cost accounting or man-hour cost allocation, so it doesn't have the data to generate a T&M invoice, let alone calculate a cost-plus invoice.  The lack of detailed cost accounting, integrated contract information, and time and expense data leads to ever more complex spreadsheets and manual invoice creation.
