Acumatica Project Accounting Software

Project Accounting connects your project costs, billing, and budgets to the rest of your financials, so project profitability is visible in real time instead of discovered at close-out. With Crestwood, you gain more than the software: you gain an in-house team that configures it around how your projects are actually costed and billed.

Acumatica Modules

What Is a Project Accounting System?

A project accounting system tracks costs, revenue, and budgets at the individual project level, then connects that data to the rest of your financials, so a labor hour, a change order, or a material cost hits project profitability immediately instead of surfacing weeks later during close-out. It goes beyond general accounting software: a true project accounting system handles complex billing methods, fixed-price, cost-plus, time-and-materials, and recognizes revenue as work is actually completed, not just when an invoice goes out.

Not Sure Which Modules You Need?

Most businesses don’t need every module, they need the right combination for how they actually operate. Crestwood has configured these modules across 5,000+ implementations over 27+ years, all handled by an in-house team, so you get a system built around your business instead of a generic template.

How Liberty Elevator Corporation Put This Module to Work

Liberty Elevator Corporation, a leading elevator company operating across New York, New Jersey, and Florida with more than 3,500 elevators under management, replaced a legacy system that couldn’t support its construction, modernization, service, and repair departments. The results, direct from their case study:

  • Real-time insight into project status and financial data, replacing spreadsheet-driven tracking
  • Fast reporting on cost against budget, revenue earned, and profit recognized on costs expended
  • At least a 10% reduction in accounting expenses
  • A CRM component added visibility into sales pipeline and commission tracking alongside project financials

“We started looking for a platform that would offer more to our specific business and support all departments, manage project costing and ‘work in progress’ reporting and things like that.” — Lauren Clausman, General Manager, Liberty Elevator Corporation
