Project Accounting Software - FAQ

What is Project Accounting software?
Project Accounting software is a platform that helps the company and the team track data on budget, incomes, outcomes and other transactions related to the project or all the company’s operations.
 
The system can be used for various purposes, including:

1. Monitoring the financial performance of one or more projects,
2. Looking for inefficiencies and potential profits,
3. Searching for spendings that can be reduced,
4. Calculating the profitability of existing and prospective projects. 
What types of companies should use Project Accounting software?
Project Accounting software is a must for any company that has to monitor the financial performance of a few projects at once.

In general, budgets and other financial details for such projects have to be calculated separately. Project accounting software is, therefore, the best way to gather and analyze these data comprehensively. 

However, Project Accounting software can also be used in companies having to complete many separate tasks at once and they need to have their budget monitored separately. With such software, this can be done in a simple and intuitive way. 

What are the steps needed to take to implement Project Accounting?
First and foremost, you need project accounting software to even start thinking about project accounting itself.

That is because combining the financial data from many different operations is simply impossible in spreadsheets or paper-based documents. 

Therefore, to implement project accounting in your organization, you need to start with defining key features that your business needs to thrive. Observe your processes, determine the most important accounting-related points and pick the right tool for the process accordingly.

Remember to look for project accounting software with as many features as possible - as your company scales, you will need more and more of them! 
How the project accounting process looks step by step?
1. Choose a tool and implement it in your company.
2. Export any financial data from other sources, if necessary.
3. Create a budget for separate projects, if you have not done this before. In other cases, try to maximize profit margins while exporting the budgets into the tool.
4. Track all the transactions in the project. To add to that, monitor all the billable hours your workers report.
5. Review the results on a regular basis. Use the reports provided by your tool of choice to monitor all the processes and find both inefficiencies and potential incomes.
Who is responsible for project accounting in the company?
In large companies, project accounting is usually a responsibility of project accountant or accounting department in general. Their work can be monitored and influenced by a project manager involved in a given project and by a CFO himself. 

However, smaller companies do not have such specialized positions. In their case, project accounting is usually a responsibility of the project manager or PMO.

Their actions are overseen by the financial manager (CFO) or CEO himself. This structure may differ depending on the organization. 

How to measure the efficiency of project accounting?
The success in project accounting can be measured differently depending on the situation.

It can be described as:

1. General revenue from one or many projects,
2. The profit margin from one project or as an average profit margin from many projects at once,
3. The amount of billable hours used to complete the project,
4. Key Cost Allocation formula
5. Margin of the 2nd, 3rd degree.

However, these metrics may vary should the project require some special operations. 

It’s so simple to get started, why wait?
