What LiveCosts Customers Say
“I think that month end WIP process is a lot slicker. Now when Finance and Operations leave the room, we’re all on the same page. There’s no massive queries around finance supposed to cost the wrong job, missing data, that type of thing. Which detracts from the process. So the removal of all those queries, has been a bit of a game changer.” Gordon Spence - Finance Director, Hankinson Whittle
“There’s a tangible benefit – it’s helped save us accountancy costs, which is really good. I haven’t got to wait for an accountant to tell me how my business is doing.” Nat Mccauley - Managing Director, JCM Fine Joinery
"LiveCosts runs throughout our whole company now, right from site staff recording deliveries, and site admin staff being able to track costs – especially labour costs – to here at the office being able to track POs, to the management being able to look at the overall picture for jobs." Derek Byrne - Financial Controller, Apollo Group
“I think it’s fair to say without LiveCosts, we’d probably have to beef up our finance team by another two or three people.” Mark Grant - Director, South Coast Building Company
