I got tired of rebuilding WIP schedules manually every month — so I built this

WIP schedules used to take hours.

Exporting reports from QuickBooks, rebuilding everything in Excel, manually calculating % complete, over/under billings, retainage, job profitability… then repeating the whole process every month for every contractor client.

The spreadsheet eventually becomes the real operational system while QBO turns into finalized storage.

I kept seeing the same workflow over and over, so I ended up building ReconcileBook.

It connects directly to QuickBooks Online and automatically generates:

  • WIP schedules
  • over/under billing reports
  • job costing reports
  • gross margin visibility
  • retainage tracking

…without rebuilding everything manually in spreadsheets every month.

Would genuinely love feedback from people dealing with construction accounting workflows regularly.

Anyone else still relying on spreadsheets for construction WIP/job costing even with QBO?

Feels like once retention, percent complete, and over/under billings get involved, part of the workflow always ends up outside QuickBooks.

Curious if people have found a cleaner setup or if this is basically just normal at this point.
