NetSuite for Construction

Building sustainable finance automation, brick by brick.

Construction accounting doesn’t work like other industries. Revenue is recognised over the life of a project, not at the point of sale. Costs are committed long before they’re paid. Retain age sits on the books for months. A system that wasn’t built for that forces your team into manual workarounds, usually in Excel, which is exactly the problem you’re trying to leave behind.

The challenges we solve

Job costing and WIP reporting that doesn’t need rebuilding by hand every month end
Change orders and committed costs that don’t show up until the invoice lands
Progress billing and retainage tracked properly, not treated as a generic receivable
Multi-entity and multi-project consolidation for bonding, lending, and your own visibility
The gap between what’s happening on site and what the office can see

What this looks like in NetSuite

Live job costing tied to cost codes. WIP schedules generated from real project data, not a spreadsheet rebuild. Percentage-of-completion revenue recognition in line with ASC 606. Change orders that flow through to budgets and billing automatically. Consolidated reporting across entities and projects, with drill-down to job level.

Why C&J

We work with NetSuite exclusively, which means the team configuring your WIP schedules and job cost structures has done it many times before, in businesses that run projects the way yours does. We build every implementation around the people doing the work first, not just the technical configuration.

If your finance team is still rebuilding WIP schedules by hand, or your job cost reports never quite match what’s happening on site, talk to us.
