Sage 100 Contractor QuickBooks Comparison
Contractors who have outgrown QuickBooks need a clear view of what a construction-specific system adds. This Sage data sheet compares Sage 100 Contractor (formerly Sage Master Builder) line by line against QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Premier Contractor Edition and QuickBooks Online. The chart covers production work such as budgets, subcontracts, change orders, purchase orders, scheduling, project management and service management. It also covers accounting areas including job costing, accounts receivable and payable, payroll, equipment and inventory, plus analysis and reporting, estimating and system limits like simultaneous users. Each feature is marked as included, limited, available through a third party or not available. That lets you quickly see where QuickBooks falls short for job-based work like retention, AIA billing, lien waivers and Davis Bacon payroll.
