Job Cost Accounting Software

What is Job Cost Accounting Software?

Job Cost Accounting software helps you to better estimate and account for all aspects of a job. A job can be a future construction project, a manufactured product or on-going work in many fields.

It’s a software application that removes the hassle of complicated spreadsheets. Improve your forecasting ability and produce more accurate financial quotations.

This type of accounting relies on the input of as much information as possible. Be precise and consistent when entering job data to provide precise estimations.

Accentis Enterprise is Australian ERP software for  business management of Australian and New Zealand based businesses. The job costing module can help any growing SME to develop processes and increase efficiency.

Job Costing

Job costing is also referred as many other names. Building estimation software, construction cost accounting, and project management accounting to name a few.

The goal of job costing software is to improve your ability to track what it costs you to do the work you need to do. You’re able to increase your business’ profitability through tracking costs and income on each job.

A job costing solution such as Accentis Enterprise ERP, gives you powerful advantages. You can:

• Create better work processes that need recording in batches
• Minimise the time it takes to estimate for work or provide quotes
• Have a better understanding of your business costs on each job
• Improve the quality of your work and speed of output

Why Should I use Cost Accounting?

The real question is, why are you not already using it?

The simple fact of the matter is this; If you’re not using cost accounting in your business, you’re losing profit on every job. 

Having a spreadsheet is a great start and one that, most likely, every business has started out with. The only problem is, spreadsheets become complicated, unreliable and time-consuming.

Different industries will need a different costing structure. A food manufacturer will have different needs to a building contractor. A plant nursery’s requirements differ from a plastic moulding business. It’s not a one-size fits all approach, and that’s why all these different industries need a solution.

Cost accounting gives you a clear picture on what your product will cost before you produce it. It gives your customer a better idea of what they’re getting and for how much.

You should be using cost accounting to improve financial knowledge of your business.
