Free QuickBooks for Construction Clinic: Upgrade Your Job-Costing Skills and Strengthen Your Business

Construction contractors across New York know that staying competitive requires more than hard work on the job site — it requires having accurate, construction-specific financial data that helps you bid confidently, manage cash flow, and meet bonding requirements. To support that mission, the New York State Surety Bond Assistance Program is offering a FREE online “QuickBooks for Construction” clinic designed specifically for contractors using (or considering) QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and compatible editions.

Why This Training Matters

Construction accounting is different from traditional business bookkeeping. Labor, materials, subcontractors, change orders, and mobilization costs all vary from project to project — and you need a system that captures these details accurately.

During the clinic, contractors will learn how to:

• Set up QuickBooks for construction-specific workflows

• Track job costs effectively and in real time

• Create detailed reporting required by surety companies and lenders

• Understand project profitability and cost overruns

• Streamline financial processes to support growth and stability

This training goes beyond basic bookkeeping. It equips contractors with the skills needed to meet bonding requirements — a major step toward securing publicly funded contracts and larger opportunities.

What’s Included

This free clinic features expert instruction from a construction-experienced CPA who specializes in job-costing and contractor financial systems. Participants will receive:

✔ Live, instructor-led QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise training

With step-by-step walkthroughs tailored to construction professionals.

✔ Best practices for job-costing and financial reporting

Learn how to structure your financial data so it supports bidding, bonding, lending, and project management.

✔ A FREE one-on-one follow-up session

Each participant receives a private virtual meeting with the instructor to address their specific business needs or QuickBooks questions.
