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.

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
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.
