Essentials Offers You:

• Comprehensive Accounting: A comprehensive accounting solution that not only manages your books, but also solves complex project accounting challenges including indirect rates, cost pool management, automated contract billings, and revenue recognition. With a deep Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), you can easily & projects to a summary level or get detailed information by contract and task with key information pertaining to a project’s profitability.
• Job Cost & Project Manager Reporting: Essentials offers extensive job cost reporting including job summary reports, T&M sales worksheets, contract revenue and cost reporting, labor utilization reports and others in real-time. This avoids the need to analyze data off-line as Deltek First can provide detailed and summary views of every operational and project aspect. And with 180 built-in reports for your Project Managers, they are well armed and informed to bring projects in on schedule and on budget.
• Time Keeping: Essentials makes it easy to track labor, payroll, and billing activities by project, department, or other categories. Project managers can grant or restrict project access and check hours charged to their projects, so there are no unauthorized charges. Unlike the competition, our time keeping solution is fully integrated with the general ledger, so it’s simple to automate administrative tasks and reduce DSO by ensuring accurate labor charges. We even provide five seats of expense management with Essentials, so as work-related travel is required it’s easy to be JTR/FTR compliant.
• Interface with Payroll Providers: Essentials integrates with leading payroll providers including ADP, Paychex, and Ceridian.

You can further grow your business by adding business development capabilities including market intelligence, CRM and proposal automation.
