QuickBooks Timesheets Integration for Construction

QuickBooks runs your accounting. Planyard captures the site work, including labour hours, against the correct project and cost code. These are then reviewed and approved, and posted to QuickBooks as clean, accountant-ready summaries. Fewer re-types, earlier margin visibility—and a smoother UK payroll process.

  • Hours coded to cost codes at entry
  • Approvals before anything hits accounting
  • Per-project/per-worker summaries for QBO payroll & job reports
  • Supports CIS & Reverse Charge VAT

Built for UK contractors — payroll, CIS and HMRC evidence

Timesheets in Planyard keep projects under control and make payroll simple. For employees you export clean summaries to QuickBooks Payroll; for CIS subcontractors, Planyard links bills to the correct vendor so QuickBooks applies CIS automatically.

Timesheets that fit UK payroll cycles

Approve hours on the cadence you actually run payroll—weekly or monthly—and keep job reports in step.

Weekly/fortnightly periods

Roll up entries by your payroll cycle so Finance isn’t reworking totals later.

Approvals before payroll

Only approved hours move to the accounting summary that feeds QuickBooks Payroll.

Mapped to COA/classes

Summaries align with your Chart of Accounts and QuickBooks Classes for clean job reporting.

One source of truth

Projects, approvals and payroll use the same coded numbers—no re-typing.

CIS for subcontractors

CIS applies to subcontractor bills, not employee timesheets; Planyard keeps the linkage and coding correct so QBO can apply CIS.

One vendor master

Match subcontractors to the right QuickBooks vendor—no duplicates or mismatches.

Approval-only posting

Only approved valuations/invoices are included in the CIS-relevant flow to QBO.

QuickBooks applies CIS

Once the bill lands on the correct vendor, QuickBooks calculates CIS according to your setup.

HMRC-ready evidence

Notes, attachments and approval trails stay with the record for audits.

Why contractors add Planyard to QuickBooks for time tracking

Most teams don’t struggle to "track time"; they struggle to track it to the right job, catch overruns early, and avoid re-typing the same data later. Planyard fixes that by tying timesheets directly to the budget and approvals flow.

Stop spreadsheet timesheets

Replace manual sheets and inbox chaos with a single flow that goes from the site to the budget to accounting—without duplicate entry.

Email-based capture

Workers receive reminders and submit hours without extra logins, so adoption actually sticks.

Allocate to cost codes

Hours are entered against the right task/code from day one, not fixed weeks later.

Evidence included

Notes and daily summaries (even photos) ride along for context and audit.

No double handling

The same entry powers job costing, forecasting, and the accounting summary.

Real job-cost visibility, not month-end surprises

Timesheets feed the control budget instantly, so PM/QS see labour burn and variances while there’s still time to act.

Live variance

See planned vs. actual labour the moment hours are submitted.

Forecast finish cost

% complete and productivity history update EAC automatically.

Protect margin daily

Spot over-consumption early and re-plan before costs snowball.

Historical productivity

Reuse real-world data to price future jobs more accurately.

Upload your project budget and follow the financial progress in real-time

No credit card required. No sales or IT support needed.

Give Finance exactly what they need

Accountants get a clean, periodic summary per project/per worker for payroll and reporting in QuickBooks—no chasing, no re-coding.

Clean summaries

Monthly or weekly roll-ups by project, worker, and cost code.

Approval-only

Only reviewed entries make it into the accounting pack.

One source of truth

Budgets and labour are in sync; reports align with the GL.

Less back-and-forth

Finance stops fixing miscoded hours after the fact.
