QuickBooks Enterprise (with enhanced payroll)
Run your business from end to end.
Overview
QuickBooks Enterprise is Intuit's most powerful accounting platform, designed for growing businesses. The Contractor Edition includes features specific to the industry, such as job costing and specialized reporting. When combined with QuickBooks' Enhanced Payroll subscription, it can be used to generate certified payroll reports (WH-347) and track labor costs against jobs. However, it often requires manual setup for prevailing wages and may need third-party add-ons for more complex scenarios.
✨ Key Features
- Job Costing
- Certified Payroll Reporting (WH-347 with active subscription)
- Workers' Compensation Tracking
- Labor Burden Costing
- Integration with QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Familiar interface for millions of QuickBooks users.
- Vast ecosystem of third-party integrations.
- Strong core accounting and job costing features for the price.
Unique Value: Offers a powerful and familiar accounting and job costing platform for contractors, with built-in capabilities to handle basic certified payroll reporting, making it a cost-effective solution for those already in the Intuit ecosystem.
