The financial platform built for how construction businesses actually work
Sage Intacct is the only cloud financial management platform purpose-built for construction project accounting, WIP reporting, retentions, progress claims and multi-entity consolidation. LimeLedger transforms construction finance using Sage Intacct and AI automation, delivered in a fixed-fee, 14-week engagement.
Entry-level accounting was built for small businesses, not construction
MYOB, Xero and QuickBooks were designed for businesses with simple transactions. Construction finance is fundamentally different: long project durations, multiple cost codes, retention schedules, WIP recognition, progress claims and subcontractor payment obligations that standard accounting systems simply cannot handle.
What your current system can't do
Real WIP accounting
Percentage-of-completion revenue recognition with automated overbilling and underbilling GL entries. Not a spreadsheet. Not a workaround.
Job costing at the cost code level
Track actuals vs budget, committed costs and forecast at completion across every project in real time.
Retention and progress claim management
Automated retention tracking with release date alerts, and progress claims that tie directly to your contract billing schedule.
Multi-entity consolidation
Consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow across multiple entities in minutes, not days.
