Industries / General Contractors / Field Services & FM
Sub-vertical: General Contractors

Build it, maintain it. Know your true cost of doing both.

Businesses that build and then maintain - FM contractors, build-and-maintain operators and field service businesses - carry two sets of financial complexity. Service contracts running alongside capital projects, field teams billing by the hour, and a finance system that was never designed for either. Sage Intacct handles both.

Sage Intacct

LimeLedger and Kynection have partnered to deliver a complete operations-to-finance stack for field services businesses. Kynection manages what happens in the field. Sage Intacct manages what it all means financially. LimeLedger connects and implements both.

Sage Intacct is your primary financial management system - replacing Xero, MYOB, or whichever platform you are currently on. LimeLedger handles the migration and implementation.

The problem

Field services businesses are running two businesses - and only one of them has clear numbers

Your teams are delivering jobs every day. But your finance team cannot see the numbers until the month is over - because the data from the field never makes it into the books.

No real-time job costing

You can only see how profitable a job was after it closes. There is no visibility mid-job, so overruns go undetected until it is too late to act. Decisions are made without numbers.

Invoicing lags behind delivery

Jobs get completed in the field but invoices are raised days or weeks later. Cash flow suffers. Days Sales Outstanding blows out. Your best clients are funding your working capital gap.

Revenue recognition on ongoing contracts

Maintenance agreements, retentions, and multi-visit contracts span months. Xero and MYOB have no mechanism to recognise revenue correctly across periods. Your P&L is wrong every month.

Every undocumented field visit is a liability your insurer and your clients' contracts won't forgive

Field services businesses face WHS obligations, SWMS requirements, and subcontractor compliance documentation across every visit. Paper-based processes and manual incident logs are not just slow - they are a financial exposure. Insurance exclusions, contract performance clauses, and client audit rights all depend on documentation being complete, timestamped, and retrievable. Kynection replaces paper SWMS, manual checklists, and handwritten site records with digital workflows completed on mobile - captured in real time, stored centrally, audit-ready. When those compliance records are connected to Sage Intacct, the cost of running a compliant mobile workforce is tracked at the job level, not buried in overhead.

The result: a finance team that is always catching up, and a leadership team that cannot see the full picture until the end of the month. That is not a reporting problem. It is a systems problem.

Replacing Xero & MYOB

Your accounting system is holding your business back

Xero and MYOB were built for simple businesses. Field services businesses are not simple. When you outgrow them, you feel it - in your month-end, your reporting, and your ability to price jobs correctly.

Talk to us about migrating
No job costing
Xero and MYOB cannot allocate costs to individual jobs. You see a P&L for the business but never know which jobs made money and which did not.
No multi-entity structure
Running multiple entities, cost centres, or service lines? Xero and MYOB require separate files and manual consolidation. Sage Intacct handles it natively.
No contract revenue recognition
Maintenance contracts, retentions, and milestone billing require revenue to be recognised across periods. Neither Xero nor MYOB can do this correctly.
LimeLedger migrates you from Xero or MYOB to Sage Intacct. Fixed fee. Clean data. 10–12 weeks. No surprises.
How it works

One stack, two systems, zero gaps

Kynection captures everything in the field. Sage Intacct turns it into financial intelligence. LimeLedger makes the two work together from day one.

1
Field teams work in Kynection
Technicians receive jobs, raise invoices, create purchase orders, and manage projects - all from a mobile device. Kynection is the operational system of record: scheduling, compliance, and field activity stay here.
Kynection
2
Financial transactions sync automatically to Sage Intacct
When a Kynection invoice is created, it posts to Sage Intacct AR. Purchase orders and receipts flow to AP. New projects and milestones create job records in Sage. No re-keying, no overnight batch runs.
Implemented by LimeLedger
3
Finance has a complete, complete picture
Your CFO sees AR, AP, and project financials in Sage Intacct - updated automatically as transactions are created in Kynection. Vendor data and account codes flow back to Kynection automatically, keeping both systems aligned.

Invoices raised in Kynection appear in Sage automatically
The moment an invoice is created in Kynection it syncs to Sage Intacct AR - no manual re-entry. When Sage marks it paid, Kynection updates automatically. One transaction, one entry, two systems aligned.

What you get

Built for every part of a field services business

Real-time job cost reporting

See margin by job, by client, and by contract - updated as work is completed. No waiting for month-end to find out whether a job made money. Budget overruns visible mid-job, not post-close.

Sage Intacct

Progress billing and invoicing

Invoices created in Kynection sync to Sage Intacct AR automatically. Progress claims, milestone billing, and time-and-materials invoices - cash collected faster, DSO reduced.

Kynection + Sage Intacct

Subcontractor and labour hire management

Subcontractor invoices allocated to the job they relate to - not a general expense account. Your job cost reports include all labour, employed or contracted. For the first time, margins are real.

Sage Intacct

Revenue recognition across contract periods

Maintenance contracts, retentions, and milestone agreements recognised correctly across financial periods. Not dumped into the month the invoice was raised. Your P&L is finally accurate.

Sage Intacct
What changes

Before and after - Kynection + Sage Intacct, implemented by LimeLedger

Before
Disconnected systems, constant manual work
  • Invoices and purchase orders re-keyed manually from Kynection into the accounting system - errors, delays, and cash flow gaps every week
  • Job costs only visible after the job closes - decisions made without numbers mid-project
  • Month-end close takes 2-3 weeks because no data flows automatically between systems
  • Month-end takes 2 weeks and still contains errors
  • Compliance records in one system, financials in another - no audit trail
  • Board reporting relies on spreadsheets prepared the night before
After
Connected systems, financial outcomes you can measure
  • Invoices created in Kynection sync to Sage AR automatically - no re-keying, no delay, no reconciliation at month-end
  • Job costs visible mid-job, not post-close - budget overruns caught before they become losses
  • Days Sales Outstanding falls from 40+ days to under 20 - invoice triggers at job sign-off, not accounts' discretion
  • Month-end close in 3-4 days, down from 2-3 weeks - clean data, no chasing
  • Subcontractor costs allocated to jobs - job margins accurate for the first time
  • Board reporting built on live data, not a spreadsheet prepared the night before
Common questions

Questions about the two-system stack

Do we need to buy both Kynection and Sage Intacct?
⌄

Yes - the two-system stack works because each platform does what it does best. Kynection handles field operations. Sage Intacct handles financial management. LimeLedger implements Sage Intacct and designs the integration between the two. If you are already using Kynection, we can work with your existing setup. If you are new to both, we help you get started with a sequenced implementation.

How long does implementation take?
⌄

Sage Intacct implementation typically takes 14 weeks. The Kynection-to-Sage Intacct integration is designed and built during that window. If you are implementing Kynection at the same time, Kynection runs their own implementation timeline in parallel. LimeLedger coordinates the two so data flows correctly from day one.

What size field services business is this suited to?
⌄

The stack is designed for businesses with annual revenue between $10M and $100M. Below that range, the cost and complexity of Sage Intacct is usually not justified. Above it, you likely need enterprise ERP. The sweet spot is the mid-market field services business that has outgrown MYOB or Xero and needs proper job costing, multi-entity reporting, and automated workflows.

We already use Xero. Can we migrate?
⌄

Yes. LimeLedger specialises in migrations from Xero and MYOB to Sage Intacct. We handle the chart of accounts mapping, historical data migration, and parallel running period. The migration is fixed-fee with clear milestones, so there are no billing surprises.

Which field services sub-industries does this suit?
⌄

The stack works well for facilities maintenance, restoration, food services, utilities contractors, and general field services businesses. If your business dispatches technicians to jobs, manages assets in the field, and bills clients based on work completed, the stack is relevant.

What does the ongoing support look like?
⌄

LimeLedger provides ongoing support for Sage Intacct post go-live under our Essential tier (included) or Premium tier ($15K/year). Kynection provides their own support for the field operations platform. As your business evolves, LimeLedger updates and maintains your Sage Intacct configuration to match.
