Buildend + QuickBooks Desktop Integration

Buildend is a construction software that integrates with QuickBooks Desktop so your operations and accounting teams stay aligned — without double entry, spreadsheets, or manual cost transfers.

  • Keep QuickBooks Desktop as your financial backbone.
  • Use Buildend to run construction.

Why Integrate QuickBooks Desktop with Buildend?

Most commercial contractors use QuickBooks Desktop for accounting, payroll, and job cost reporting. But project teams still manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and field communication in separate systems.

That disconnect leads to:

  • Manual rekeying of cost data
  • Budget mismatches
  • Delays in cost visibility
  • Accounting chasing PMs for backup

By integrating Buildend with QuickBooks Desktop, your field and finance teams share critical financial and project information so everyone works from the same data.

Supported Features

Below are the supported features available within the integration.

  • Synchronization of vendors so Buildend and QuickBooks Desktop share the same vendor list
  • Create and sync subcontracts from Buildend into QuickBooks Desktop and ensure financial records reflect commitments
  • Create and sync purchase orders, unifying procurement and commitments between systems
  • Support change orders so approved scope changes flow between Buildend and QuickBooks Desktop
  • Sync commitment invoices (bills and bill payments) against subcontracts and purchase orders
  • Import and sync direct costs (job cost entries) so actuals in QuickBooks Desktop are reflected in Buildend’s job cost views
  • Maintain alignment of cost codes and items used in job costing and budgeting across both systems
  • Link Buildend projects/jobs to QuickBooks Desktop entities for consistent project identifiers and cost tracking

Notes on Integration:

  • QuickBooks Desktop requires the QuickBooks Web Connector to be running and connected to enable continuous sync.
  • Sync cadence and object selection can be configured based on your workflow needs (e.g., hourly, manual, near–real time).
