Scaling Construction Businesses: How Accountants Can Guide Construction Clients Toward Data-driven Growth

Construction companies often operate with fragmented financial systems—disconnected tools for accounting, payroll, job costing, and reporting—that silently erode profitability. According to Forrester Consulting, 59% of construction firms experience this data fragmentation, leading to costly inefficiencies such as manual job costing errors, delayed reconciliations, missed bids, and inaccurate project tracking.

For accountants, these pain points present a unique opportunity to act as strategic advisors. By guiding clients toward modern, right-fit financial platforms like Intuit Enterprise Suite, accountants can help construction businesses unify operations, reduce errors, and access real-time insights—without the steep costs and long timelines associated with traditional ERP systems.

The white paper explores:

• The hidden financial toll of outdated, disconnected systems.
• Why construction leaders hesitate to upgrade, and how to address their concerns.
• Key features that drive measurable impact—such as unified job costing, automated intercompany transactions, AI-powered reporting, and automated AR/AP workflows.
• Proven implementation best practices that minimize disruption, shorten onboarding, and accelerate ROI.

With tools tailored for construction, firms can close books 50% faster, save hundreds of hours annually, and achieve a projected 299% ROI over three years. For accountants, embracing this advisory role not only delivers measurable results for clients but also strengthens long-term relationships and unlocks new revenue opportunities.
