Financial Management & Invoicing Software

Gain complete visibility across revenue, profitability & business performance

Most Businesses Don't Know Which Jobs Are Making Them Money

Understanding financial performance becomes increasingly difficult as businesses grow. Revenue, costs, labour, supplier expenses and profitability are often spread across multiple systems, making it challenging to understand how individual jobs, projects and clients are performing financially.

Many businesses can see overall company figures through their accounting software, but struggle to track profitability on a job-by-job or project-by-project basis. Without clear financial visibility, it becomes difficult to identify profitable work, control costs and make informed business decisions.

CQ helps businesses connect operational activity with financial performance, providing greater visibility across revenue, costs, invoicing and profitability from one connected platform.

Track Profitability On Every Job & Project In Real Time

Understanding profitability requires more than simply tracking income and expenditure. To gain meaningful financial visibility, businesses need to understand how revenue, costs, labour and invoicing relate to the jobs and projects being delivered.

CQ connects financial performance directly to operational activity, helping businesses track profitability at a job-by-job and project-by-project level. By linking financial data with estimating, project management, scheduling and delivery, businesses gain greater visibility into where money is being made, where costs are increasing and how individual jobs are performing financially.

Track revenue, costs, invoicing and profitability more effectively by connecting financial performance directly to the work being delivered.

Estimating, Quoting & Profit Forecasting

Effective financial management starts before a job or project begins. Without clear visibility into expected revenue, labour costs, material costs and target profitability, businesses often struggle to understand whether work is likely to be financially successful before it is delivered.

CQ helps businesses build greater financial visibility into the estimating and quoting process by connecting projected revenue, costs and profitability directly to jobs and projects. By establishing financial targets from the outset, businesses can monitor performance against expectations and gain a clearer understanding of how work is performing financially throughout delivery.

This allows businesses to move beyond simply creating quotes and begin using financial forecasting to make more informed decisions around pricing, profitability and future growth.

Job & Project Profitability Tracking

Understanding whether work is profitable requires more than simply reviewing financial reports after a job has been completed. Businesses need visibility into revenue, costs and profitability while work is still being delivered, allowing them to identify issues early and make informed decisions before profitability is impacted.

CQ helps businesses track financial performance at a job-by-job and project-by-project level by bringing revenue, labour costs, supplier expenses, overheads and project activity together into one connected platform. By connecting operational delivery directly to financial performance, businesses gain real-time visibility into how individual jobs and projects are performing financially.

With access to predicted profitability, actual profitability, money in, money out and project-level financial reporting, businesses can maintain greater control over margins and make more informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of every job and project.

Invoicing & Revenue Management

Managing invoicing efficiently is essential for maintaining healthy cash flow and ensuring revenue is collected at the right time. As businesses grow, invoicing requirements often become more complex, with different projects requiring one-off invoices, milestone billing, recurring invoices or custom payment schedules.

CQ helps businesses manage invoicing from one connected platform by supporting a range of billing approaches to suit different types of work. Whether invoicing a completed job, billing monthly, creating milestone payments or managing ongoing service agreements, businesses can maintain greater control over how revenue is generated and collected.

Through a centralised invoicing centre, businesses gain visibility across invoice activity, including invoices awaiting creation, scheduled invoices, outstanding balances, overdue payments and completed transactions. By connecting invoicing directly to jobs, projects and operational activity, businesses can improve financial control, monitor revenue more effectively and maintain a clearer view of cash flow across the organisation.

Labour Cost & Time Tracking

Labour is often one of the largest costs associated with delivering jobs and projects, making accurate time tracking essential for understanding profitability. Without visibility into where time is being spent and how labour costs are affecting individual jobs, businesses can struggle to identify inefficiencies and maintain healthy profit margins.

CQ helps businesses track labour costs by connecting employee time directly to jobs and projects. Time can be recorded through mobile applications, timesheets or manual entries, while employee cost rates can be used to accurately calculate labour expenditure across ongoing work.

By linking time tracking directly to project profitability, businesses gain greater visibility into labour costs, resource utilisation and overall financial performance, helping ensure jobs remain commercially viable throughout delivery.

Business-Wide Financial Visibility

Understanding the financial performance of individual jobs and projects is important, but business owners also need visibility across the wider organisation. Revenue, profitability, invoicing, costs and cash flow all contribute to the overall financial health of a business and play an important role in supporting informed decision-making.

CQ brings financial information together from across jobs, projects and operational activities, providing a centralised view of business performance. By combining revenue, profitability, invoicing and financial activity into one platform, businesses can gain a clearer understanding of where money is being generated, where costs are increasing and how the business is performing overall.

With access to business-wide financial analytics, money in and money out reporting, profitability trends and invoice visibility, decision-makers can maintain greater financial control and make more informed strategic decisions as the business grows.

Accounting Integrations

Accounting software plays an important role in managing company finances, but financial visibility often requires information from across the wider business. Revenue, labour costs, project profitability, invoicing and operational activity all contribute to a clearer understanding of financial performance.

CQ integrates with leading accounting platforms including Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, helping businesses keep financial and operational information connected. By linking accounting data with project management, scheduling and profitability tracking, businesses can reduce duplication, improve accuracy and maintain greater visibility across the organisation.

This allows businesses to continue using their preferred accounting software while benefiting from the additional financial and operational insights available within CQ.

CQ Connects Financial Performance To Every Part Of Your Business

Financial performance is influenced by every area of a business, from estimating and project delivery through to scheduling, invoicing and workforce activity. When this information is spread across multiple systems, gaining a clear understanding of profitability and business performance becomes increasingly difficult.

CQ brings financial management, invoicing, profitability and operational activity together into one connected platform. By connecting revenue, costs, labour, projects and business operations, businesses gain greater visibility, make more informed decisions and maintain stronger control over financial performance as they grow.
