Fixing simPRO reporting that's not adding up
The numbers don't tie. simPRO says one thing. Your accountant says another. You go in to look at margin on a job and it doesn't feel right. You run a WIP report and it's $50k off the balance sheet number. So you stop trusting the reports. Which means you stop using them. Which means you're flying blind.
This is the number one reason simPRO businesses go looking for something better.
The usual suspects: margin per job looks too high, which is almost always labour burden missing from the cost rate. WIP doesn't match the balance sheet, usually retentions or progress claims out of sync. Cashflow doesn't match what hits the bank, because variations were approved in simPRO but never invoiced. Group reporting is impossible, because every entity has its own chart of accounts. And reports take days, because each one is a manual export to a spreadsheet.
How it works
VibeCFO sits across simPRO **and** your accounting system at the same time and shows you the gap.
- Ask EVA "why doesn't this match?" EVA traces the difference job by job, transaction by transaction.
- See burdened margin, not nominal margin. EVA loads true labour cost (super, leave, workcover, downtime) into every job and recalculates margin against reality.
- Reconcile WIP automatically. EVA flags jobs where simPRO and accounting disagree and tells you which side is wrong.
- No more Friday afternoon spreadsheets. EVA does the reconciliation. You make the call.
- Group reporting across entities. Different entities, different charts of accounts. EVA maps them to one view.
