QuickBooks speaks accountant.

Buildwise speaks builder.

Let’s be honest — QuickBooks isn’t made for builders. It’s designed for bookkeepers and accountants who speak in chart of accounts, journal entries, and debits vs credits.

Builders don’t need that. What they need is a simple way to track time and receipts in the field and share without complicated workflows.

That’s where Buildwise comes in.

Buildwise Streamlines Bookkeeping for Remodelers & Custom Home Builders

QuickBooks + Buildwise

Your job cost tracking, simplified.

Buildwise is the builder-first front end to your QuickBooks account. It’s where your team tracks their time and uploads receipts in a simple user interface they’ll actually use.

You get clean, organized cost data.

Your bookkeeper gets everything they need so you can stop responding to their endless questions about which job this receipt was for.

How it works

3D embroidered Buildwise logo

1. Your team logs expenses and hours directly in Buildwise
2. You (or your PM) review and approve all costs
3. You or your bookkeeper push expenses into QuickBooks
4. Your bookkeeper handles the rest — with full clarity

You stay in control. They stay in QuickBooks.
Everyone stays in sync.

What integrates with QuickBooks?

We push over the essentials:

  • Customer/Project Name

  • Category (Chart of Accounts)

  • Cost, Taxes, Tax Codes

  • Suppliers/Vendors

You control the sync. No automatic two-way connection — so nothing slips into your books without your approval. That means fewer errors, cleaner reports, and way less explaining to do at tax time.

Systematized hour and receipt capture

Buildwise makes it easy for your team to log hours and snap receipts in real time — no more chasing down missing timesheets or receipts weeks later.

Minimize bookkeeping questions

Costs come in clean, categorized, and tied to the right job. Your bookkeeper gets exactly what they need — without a dozen follow-up emails.

Track and view job costing in one place

See labor, materials, trades, and markup by project—all in one dashboard. Buildwise brings your financial picture into focus without switching between tools.

Built for builders. Synced for bookkeepers.

Buildwise makes job cost tracking easy for your team — and crystal clear for your bookkeeper. Complete financial control without the accounting headaches.
