help_outline FAQ

Questions, answered

Can I compare estimate to actual?
Yes. Set a project budget and WisoBooks reports budget, committed and actual side by side as costs post.
Does it handle retentions?
Hold back a retention on the invoice and release it as a later document so the receivable stays visible.
Can subcontractor costs be tracked per job?
Yes. Their bills carry the project dimension like any other purchase.
What about equipment costs?
Register plant as fixed assets and depreciate it, or expense small tools against the job directly.
