## Still Rebuilding WIP Schedules in Spreadsheets? Your Project Data is Already Outdated.
### Watch the on-demand webinar to see how commercial contractors are creating automated, real-time Work in Progress (WIP) reporting directly from QuickBooks Online with ProNovos.
## If You're WIP Schedule Lives in a Spreadsheet, You're Already Behind
Construction leaders make critical decisions every day based on project performance, cash flow, and profitability. But if your team is still exporting data from QuickBooks Online and rebuilding WIP schedules in spreadsheets every month, you're often looking at information that's already weeks old.
That delay creates blind spots. It can make it harder to spot margin erosion, explain project performance to sureties and lenders, and respond quickly when costs start moving in the wrong direction.
In this on-demand webinar, James Moore Construction Practice Leader Webb Shephard and ProNovos CEO Bruce Orr discuss how contractors are closing the reporting gap between accounting data and project decision-making. You'll also see a live demonstration of automated WIP reporting built on top of QuickBooks Online.

"description" : "While QuickBooks Online is great for tracking your cash and bills, you also need to see where jobs actually stand. Percentage of completion, over and under billing, cost to complete, and projected gross profit live outside of QBO. That visibility gap forces controllers and owners to rebuild WIP in spreadsheets every month—long after the data is useful and relevant. \n\nIn this session, Webb Shephard of James Moore & Co. and Bruce Orr, CEO of ProNovos will show how commercial contractors are closing that gap with automated, real-time WIP that sits on top of QuickBooks Online. You'll see what changes when WIP transforms from a monthly spreadsheet exercise to a daily operating tool, and what that means for cash flow decisions, bonding conversations, and protecting margin on active jobs.",
