| SUGGESTED ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES: We realize that accounting in the construction industry can be overwhelming for a home builder. SO, we try to provide information to educate and help you through the process! CHS can handle Accrual, Percentage of Completion OR Completed Contract accounting methods. CHS also has information reports that make it easy to prepare Cash method financials statements.

CHART OF ACCOUNTS: Load the Chart of Accounts (General Ledger Accounts) that are recommended by NAHB OR a "simpler" Chart of Accounts prepared by CHS. Edit and delete these as needed for your own company. OR, you can set up your own Chart of Accounts from scratch. CHS is very flexible to suit your company needs. Load Financial Statement Sections and Headings at the click of a button and edit them as needed. Set up DEPARTMENTS (DIVISIONS) to track profit centers. Financial Statements, General Ledger, Cash Flow Statements, etc. can be printed for selected Departments. PRIOR PERIOD DETAIL: Use special "Prior Period" screens to post prior period unpaid or paid costs. This screen will not interfere with your Balances Forward for accounting. Post only the paid costs needed for historical review of jobs. There is also a Prior Period Deposits screen to capture the detail of deposits included in your Balances Forward. |
