Sirius GT - Construction Accounting Software


Job Costing in Sirius GT is the proverbial 'Rome' where all roads of information lead to. Virtually every labor hour, material item, piece of equipment, subcontract and administrative expense that was charged to a job, or any portion, can easily be displayed through job costing.

Whether Drilling Down from an overall view to the smallest detail OR printing reports that analyze the information and present it from different perspectives, job costing provides a continuous flow of information vital to the successful management of your projects.

With over twenty years of experiencing developing job cost reports, we understand that not all construction personnel have a firm grasp on the accounting terminology used in various report formats.

It doesn't make any sense to sort through reams of information, only to provide it in a format that customers don't understand. Sirius GT includes a help button, on all new Version 7 job cost reports, which contains a sample illustration with an overview and legend explaining each piece of information and how it is calculated.
