What it is

SCPM Construction Accounting is a web-based construction accounting system intended to replace other accounting systems. It provides live and period-close WIP reports, cost-to-complete reporting by cost code, and reconciliation to the general ledger. AIA-style progress billing covers schedules of values, pay applications, stored materials, G702/G703 PDF packages, retainage and project-based AR aging. Payables include two-stage approval and holds for missing or expired subcontractor compliance documents; certified payroll supports federal WH-347 reporting. Period-end tools include a guided twelve-step close, rollback support, a bonding-grade close package and a confidence-scored bank reconciliation matcher. AI proposes account and cost-code mappings for human review and generates report narratives from accounting data, but does not post entries. Payroll imports are available for ADP and Paychex; bank statements can be uploaded as CSV or OFX. The Standard Monthly plan costs $250 a month per organization and includes every feature and unlimited jobs. A free 60-day self-serve trial is offered; paid use requires explicit conversion afterward.

Who it suits. SCPM is intended for US commercial general contractors and related contractor groups. Its job-cost, billing, compliance and period-close tools are relevant to teams managing construction accounting across projects.

Watch for

  • No free plan

  • Self-service in-house payroll is still in active build
