Cost and project accounting
Cost and project accounting from Finbryn tracks labor, materials and overhead to a specific job or contract at the general ledger level in QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct, so a US business sees profitability job by job instead of one blended margin, with work-in-progress tracked until each job bills out.
What is included
- Costs coded to job, project or contract at the point of entry
- A documented, consistently applied overhead allocation method
- Job profitability reported alongside the standard profit and loss each period
- Work-in-progress tracked and rolled forward for open jobs
- A closed-job reconciliation once a job is billed and complete
- Percentage-of-completion schedules for qualifying long-term contracts
- Labor burden (payroll taxes, workers' compensation, benefits) loaded onto job cost
- A job-costing structure that reconciles to your official financial statements
The process
- 1.
Map cost types to jobs
Every cost category, labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, is mapped to a job-coding structure inside your existing chart of accounts.
- 2.
Code at entry
Timesheets, vendor invoices and purchase orders are tagged to a job as they are entered, in the same cycle as the rest of your bookkeeping.
- 3.
Allocate overhead
Overhead is applied to jobs on a documented, consistent method agreed with you in writing, commonly labor hours or direct labor cost.
- 4.
Roll forward work-in-progress
Costs on jobs not yet billed or complete are tracked as WIP and carried forward each period until the job closes.
- 5.
Reconcile completed jobs
When a job finishes, its total cost is reconciled against billing and the WIP balance for that job clears.
- 6.
Deliver job profitability report
A job-by-job profitability report is delivered alongside your standard monthly financial statements.

Quality control
## Reviewed before it reaches you Every deliverable under accounting services is reviewed by a senior reviewer before it reaches you, on top of the controller-level review built into the service itself.
Pricing
Job costing is scoped by active job volume and whether percentage-of-completion revenue recognition applies. Straightforward job costing for a handful of concurrent jobs typically fits inside the Growth tier on the published rate card at /us/pricing. Multi-entity contractors or bonding-company reporting usually move to a Scale-tier custom quote, confirmed in writing after a scoping call.
