Sage 300 CRE Bookkeeping
Sage 300 CRE (formerly Timberline) is the most comprehensive financial engine for large-scale construction firms and real estate developers. However, its modular complexity requires specialized accounting knowledge. Maxim Liberty provides expert outsourced bookkeeping that masters the Sage environment, allowing you to manage massive projects without the massive administrative overhead.
Scaling Your Construction & Real Estate Empire
We work directly within your Sage 300 CRE environment, managing everything from AIA progress billings to multi-entity inventory and asset tracking. We ensure your data is pristine, your audits are painless, and your project managers have real-time visibility into job costs.
Granular Job Costing
We link labor, materials, and subcontractor costs directly to your project codes. We provide the reporting needed to track your estimate-vs-actuals, ensuring you spot margin fade before it affects your bottom line.
AIA Progress Billing
We manage the complexity of AIA G702/G703 forms and receivables. We track retainage and ensure that your draws are perfectly reconciled against the percentage of completion.
Subcontractor Compliance
We handle your Accounts Payable and subcontractor tracking. We monitor insurance certificates, W-9s, and lean waivers to protect your firm from legal and financial risk.
Certified & Union Payroll
Construction payroll is a minefield. We manage union benefits, multi-state withholdings, and certified payroll reporting, ensuring you are 100% compliant with Davis-Bacon and local regulations.
