Upgrading every year is a “no brainer” because of all the new features and if a contractor’s construction accounting staff only saves only [10 minutes a day](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/what-is-ten-minutes-costing-your-company/?hsLang=en)the savings will more than pay for the program. **Our mission is** to “Help Contractors Achieve Their Definition Of Success”. Which means we work with them and support them no matter what version of QuickBooks they use. We have observed contractors who use QuickBooks Premier Contractor Edition simply make more money. One of the questions we ask our clients is **“Do you want to be Right or Rich?”** **Right Is Focusing** - On cutting costs wherever possible even if it means skimping on labor, material, sub-contractors, tools and equipment which in the end affects their customer’s projects in a negative way and good [customer communications](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/bid/81523/The-Importance-of-Communication-In-Construction?hsLang=en). Eventually those construction companies disappear into the night like wisps of smoke. **Rich Is Focusing** - On offering good quality products and services by investing wisely in on labor, material, sub-contractors, tools and equipment, [customer communications](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/bid/81523/The-Importance-of-Communication-In-Construction?hsLang=en) and [outsourcing the bookkeeping](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/bookkeeping-services/?hsLang=en).

The good news is they are great at providing 24/7 access to client QuickBooks files and nightly backup. The other news is that we need staff that is skilled in construction bookkeeping and accounting and other staff that is very experienced with Microsoft Windows Explorer File Structure because we have to upload, setup, monitor and maintain the QuickBooks data, paperless documents and internal file folders for each client.
