I have purchased Quickbooks for Contractors. Maybe its just me but I am having problems with this set up. I was using excel spread sheets which was working great, but I was trying to step up things by using different software to do different reports on my business. Can any of you guys share what you have found to be the most effective as far managing profits,loss and so on?

I use QBs Contractor and would suggest finding an accountant that will help you set it up right the first time. Make sure you get one that works with QB. We have a Profit/Loss income account set up, but pay the bucks and get the help.
QB has a large array of reports possible but you may not get exactly what you want even by tweaking them.

What specific problems are you having?
I have been using QB for years & love it, I don't have the latest version I think 2003.
The whole key to using profit/loss reports and the whole program is you must enter as much detail as you can. Time, credit card charges, material purchased on account, gas, office supplies etc!
If you buy material for more than one job on an invoice from (x) supplier you must break the invoice down to what material goes for what job.
If you want PM me your number and maybe I can help you over the phone.
