Manage job costs with ease
Manage job costs as you pay employees, subcontractors, and vendors. Immediately identify expenses that haven't been assigned to a job and classify them properly. Premier Contractor Edition's job-cost reports give you the insight you need to run your business more effectively and efficiently. With Premier Contractor Edition you can see how much it will cost you to complete a job.

See how you're doing compared to estimated costs, and the expected cost to complete each task. The Job Costing Center shows you which jobs are your most--and least--profitable. View a summary of key information for your jobs in a single window on a detailed, task-by-task level.

Create estimates and track change orders
Accurate estimating is one of the keys to success for any contractor. With Premier Contractor Edition you'll be able to compare your actual job costs to your estimated costs, either at a summary level for all jobs, or at a detailed level for a particular job. Turn estimates into invoices with a single click. E-mail estimates, invoices, and purchase orders without ever leaving QuickBooks.

Contractor Edition job cost reports give you the insight you need to run your business more effectively and efficiently. View larger.

Create estimates from within QuickBooks or import them from QuickBooks Easy Estimate software (sold separately.) As the job changes, simply enter change orders into the estimate so you can keep track of the changes--and how they affect your bottom line. Change orders are included on documents you print for your customer, so there are no surprises at the end of the job.

Keep on top of billable hours and insurance coverage
Premier Contractor Edition makes it easy for you to track and bill time for both employees and subcontractors. You can use it to set flexible billing rates by employee type and generate reports to show which hours you've billed and which you haven't.

The new QuickBooks Time Tracker service makes it fast and easy to collect timesheet data from employees and subcontractors, and the new subcontractor insurance-tracking feature alerts you when a subcontractor's liability or worker's-compensation insurance has expired. Time Tracker works with the 2006 or 2007 editions of QuickBooks for Windows (Pro, Premier and Enterprise), updated to the most current release. Premier Contractor Edition includes a 60-day free trial for QuickBooks Time Tracker.

Organize key company data in one convenient place
Be prepared for tax time. Premier Contractor Edition keeps customer and vendor information, expenses, estimates, change orders, invoices, purchase orders, bills, payments, and more right at your fingertips. Open the Customer Center and see just what you need--estimates, invoices, payments, credits or refunds, then zoom in for the details. Track and apply customer deposits automatically. You can also use it to send estimates, purchase orders, and invoices as PDF files in e-mail.

Start fast and get help when you need it
Premier Contractor Edition provides built-in tutorials, a chart of accounts customized for contractors, onscreen help, and free QuickBooks callback support for 30 days following registration. Built-in video tutorials show you how to start tracking job costs with QuickBooks.

Customer Reviews

Good Product with really bad technical support
This is a great product for the small business owner. Great features for the small contractor to keep everything in line. There is a learning curve for sure. Intuit is one of these profit driven mega companies that have taken their tech support to India and Pakistan. Be prepared to deal with rude "by the book" people who can barely speak english. Be prepared to re-read your instruction manuel because these folks are of little help in any. 30 Day free Tech support is a Joke!

hard to use
I have used Quicken for many years and have found it to be so easy to use so when we opened a new contracting business I turned to Intuit. This software claims to be geared toward contractors and easy to set up. It somewhat meets the first claim but after working with the software for about 4 weeks now, I still don't have the first transaction entered and would return it if I could!

contractors edition - read the small print
In the description this product states "good for up to 5 users" - TRUE -- But only one user at a time. Guess that part was written in the tiny legalese stuff that nobody reads. So we had to buy additional licenses at $350 a pop - about the same price that we paid for the program. Felt like I got ripped off as I wanted to use in my office where 3 of us need to use it at the same time, like during normal business hours!!!!
