The gap
QuickBooks wasn’t built for jobs.
Costs land late. Receipts and invoices sit in inboxes and trucks, so job costs show up weeks after the money is gone.
Coding is manual. Every bill needs a job and cost code typed in by hand, and small mistakes quietly break your job reports.
Reports miss the job. Your P&L shows the company. It doesn’t show where cash is tied up on each job or what’s coming next.
How it works with QuickBooks
Connect once. Stay in sync.
01
Connect QuickBooks Online. Sign in from Controllr. Your lists, jobs, and transaction history sync automatically.
02
Capture and code costs. Send receipts and invoices by email, phone, or drag and drop. Controllr itemizes them and suggests the job and cost code. You approve.
03
Everything syncs both ways. Approved transactions flow to QuickBooks in real time, and changes in either system stay matched.
