## The Problem

The monthly board package for Construction Accounting is 40 slides of hand-built variance analysis, and by the time it's done the data is already stale.

## What We Build in QuickBooks Desktop

AI pulls actuals from Sage 100 Contractor, compares to budget and prior year, writes narrative commentary on drivers, and publishes the board deck on day 5 — controller spends Friday on strategy, not copy-paste. Purpose-built for teams running QuickBooks Desktop — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## QuickBooks Desktop Integration Approach

1. **Audit your QuickBooks Desktop configuration.** We map the specific QuickBooks Desktop objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your construction accounting practice.
2. **Build on the QuickBooks Desktop API or agent.** Integration happens inside QuickBooks Desktop — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in QuickBooks Desktop with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
