Does Quiken have software for Professional Construction business?

Answer 1

Closest thing they go to it is Quickbooks. And it sucks and is not user friendly. I used it in my engineering business. What a hassle.

Answer 3

Quicken sells accounting passages that work for any kind of business. All business have the same types of accounts, those being:

Income
Expenses
Assets
Liabilities

To start using Quicken you establish your accounts (e.g. your checking account, any debt you have, any assets you own, etc.).

You also set up categories which you can change as your business proceeds. The categories can be subdivided so you can have a category like ...

EXPENSES:JOB 123:MATERIALS:BRICKS

INCOME:JOB 287:DEPOSIT

Quicken will do basic reports like Income & Expenses, Net Worth, etc. and you can filter by account and/or category so you could see how much profit you made on a particular job.
