5 Reasons CPAs Should Partner with Deltek ComputerEase

Construction accounting can be a complex, daunting task. Many contractors have benefited greatly by retaining a construction-focused Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to help manage the financial complexities of their businesses. The unique accounting requirements of construction means not all CPAs can provide the same level of support. Tracking work in progress (WIP), change orders, flexible billing options like AIA billing, revising estimates, and most importantly the ability to monitor, update and report job costing are all nearly impossible to achieve with basic, one-size-fits-all accounting software, like QuickBooks®. Similar to how contractors adopt new and more sophisticated physical tools when they take on more complex jobs, the same concept can be applied to the software tools contractors use to run their businesses.

Deltek ComputerEase is the leading construction software provider of job costing accounting, project management, and payroll services, supporting contractors as they grow. Our mission is to deliver solutions that help customers connect and automate the project lifecycle that fuels their business. Thousands of loyal customers have entrusted Deltek ComputerEase construction innovators since 1983 to beat the competition, increase profits, and even earn money back.
