What is QuickBooks Online?

QuickBooks Online is the gold-standard accounting solution for small and mid-sized businesses. As a cloud-based accounting solution, all of your data stays up-to-date across platforms, and you can manage and report on your finances from your web browser or mobile app.

How does QuickBooks Online work with Knowify?

When you integrate Knowify with QuickBooks Online, nearly all of your operational and financial data sync both ways in real-time. Teams use Knowify to manage projects from start to finish – easily create estimates, schedule teams and projects, handle job costing, create invoices, accept payments, and more. All of your project transactions (purchase orders, vendor bills, expenses, and invoices) sync between platforms in real-time, meaning different parts of your team can work in whichever system they’re most comfortable in, without redundant data entry. With accurate job costing and powerful project management tools, your team can keep your projects moving and your books clean.

What is QuickBooks Desktop?

QuickBooks Desktop is an on-premise accounting solution, available for Windows or Mac. It’s an excellent construction accounting solution for businesses that are not yet ready to move to the cloud.

How does QuickBooks Desktop work with Knowify?

Knowify’s integration with QuickBooks Desktop is push-to-sync, so you control when and where transactions and time push between the two platforms. Nearly all the data that syncs between Knowify and QuickBooks Online also syncs between Knowify and QuickBooks Desktop. However, you will not be able to take advantage of other powerful integrations, like QuickBooks Online Payroll or Payments.

The QuickBooks Desktop integration is only available on Knowify’s Enterprise plan.

What is Intuit Enterprise Suite?

Intuit’s newest platform for growing businesses, Intuit Enterprise Suite serves as a central place for all of your software and financial data to come together.

As a general rule, we suggest handling all of your project-related financial processes and general construction management in Knowify. This includes creating estimates, proposals, building job templates, job costing (including labor costing, purchase orders, and expenses), time tracking, subcontractor management, storing project documents, monitoring progress on the job, and sending out client invoices.

For managing the top-level cash flow of your business, doing tax prep, or handling non-project related expenses, you should use your QuickBooks Online account rather than Knowify.

There’s two ways to get started:

  • Take out a free trial of Knowify and sync your QuickBooks online account during the setup process.
  • Visit the QuickBooks app store, and sign up via the Knowify page.

Knowify’s construction management software is designed for specialty trade contractors looking to streamline how their team works while getting clear financial information at every stage of a project or service job. While many custom home builders, general contractors, and other disciplines use Knowify to run their businesses every day, Knowify is designed for the trades, and has key differences from other construction software.

Absolutely! Knowify is a QuickBooks Service Provider, and when you bundle QuickBooks products with Knowify, you can be sure you’re getting the best price and service available. Features vary between QuickBooks and Knowify plans, and our team is here to help you choose the combination that’s right for your business.

Every Knowify plan allows you to handle basic processes like creating estimates, sending proposals, and invoicing customers. Knowify’s QuickBooks integrations are available on all plans.

 

When sending one or multiple invoices through Knowify, QuickBooks Payments users are able to include a payment link on their client’s invoices. Clients can then pay via ACH or credit card. Payments are automatically reconciled with the client invoice in both Knowify and QuickBooks, so your financial data stays up to date with no double entry needed.

Knowify offers phase-by-phase job costing broken down by cost category (labor, materials, equipment, and subs) and all of that costing information is collected automatically as your team works. QuickBooks Online offers basic project costing, but it doesn’t reach the level of granularity that Knowify offers.
