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.

This program offers many benefits for CPAs across the country, including:

  1. Free internal-use license of Deltek ComputerEase

  2. Improved Consultation
    With a free license of the Deltek ComputerEase software, your firm can work hand-in-hand with your clients’ financial data. You can see their jobs at a high level or drill down into the details of a single job. This extensive insight into their business will allow you to better advise their financial processes.
  3. Dedicated Partner Support
    As a part of this program, your Channel Manager is your main point of contact to help you navigate situations or needs in a timely fashion and provide direct access to our Professional Services Team, ensuring successful product and service experiences for your firm and your construction clients.
  4. Super-User Access
    By becoming a partner in this program, a Super User cloud license is available, allowing you to access client data through our cloud-hosting provider. Access your client’s books from any location rather than in your client’s physical location.
  5. Educational Resources
    We provide access to webinars and other educational resources for you and your clients. Our dedicated Partner Portal is easy to navigate and find these resources. If you or your clients are looking to better understand the complexities of construction-focused accounting, Deltek offers Construction Accounting University, a free educational learning path.
