Accounting software that uses job costing is very important to enable the tracking of a number of factors and analyzing the results to aid decision making. The accounting software should easily generate a job costing report that helps the contractor ensure that all costs involved in a job have been properly invoiced to the customer.

This, in turn, will help the contractor analyze any variances between an estimated quote and the actual result. As a result, accurate quotes on future jobs can be made on this data.
