Why Integration Matters for Contractors
Construction financials are project-based. Without integration, you rekey invoices, payments, and job-cost details—inviting errors and delays. Sync keeps field, billing, and accounting in lockstep.
- Stops duplicate data entry between systems
- Keeps job costs, AR, and revenue aligned with work
- Improves cash flow visibility and month-end close
- Creates an audit-friendly trail tied to each project
What Actually Syncs (Data & Direction)
Werx pushes the project-billing truth into your books while preserving QuickBooks as the system of record. You control what to sync and when.
- Customers/Jobs and project references
- Invoices/Credit Memos from AIA/progress and T&M billing
- Payments/Fees (incl. online payments) to keep AR current
- Items/Services/Taxes mapped to your chart of accounts
- Job-cost detail (labor, materials) summarized as configured
Top Benefits: Accuracy, Time Savings & Cash Flow
Integration turns project activity into clean accounting entries—fast.
- Accurate job costing without spreadsheet workarounds
- Faster invoicing and collections with online payment processing for contractors

Common Pitfalls Without Integration
Manual copy/paste creates blind spots and profit fade.
