Adaptive + Ressio: A Partnership that Connects Financials Between the Field and the Back Office

Construction companies have long struggled with the disconnect between what happens in the field and how it's reflected in their financial systems. Project teams capture critical information about budgets, schedules, and change orders, but translating that into accurate financial reporting often involves manual processes, duplicate data entry, and reconciliation headaches. That's why we're thrilled to announce our partnership with Ressio, a startup redefining project management for home builders and remodelers.

Adaptive is built for construction accounting. We ensure that financial workflows like job costing, WIP adjustments, reconciliations, and cash flow management are handled with accuracy and efficiency. By connecting with Ressio's project management platform, we're creating a seamless flow of information between the field and the back office.

Why This Matters

Serving different roles with the right tools: Both project managers and accountants work with financial data, but for different purposes and with different needs. Let's look at a few examples:

• Project Budgets & Change Orders: For the field, budgets track cost-to-complete and change orders document scope changes for client billing. For accounting, those same budgets and change orders form the basis of WIP schedules, contract value updates, revenue recognition, and financial projections.
• Job Costing: For the field, it's about submitting receipts and designating the right job and cost code. For accounting, it's about ensuring credit cards and bank statements have been fully reconciled every month, ensuring no transaction goes unaccounted for.
• Accounts Payable: For the field, AP means knowing payment status to inform subcontractors on the job site. For accounting, it's about comprehensive cash flow management, balancing incoming AR with outgoing AP, as well as insuring all compliance is handled such as vendor insurance and lien waivers.

The Ressio-Adaptive partnership creates a data bridge across these different perspectives, allowing both teams to work in their preferred systems while sharing critical information automatically.

Enabling third-party accounting expertise: More builders are seeking specialized construction accounting expertise from third-party firms. Partnerships such as this allow construction companies to keep their preferred project management software while enabling expert accountants to plug right in via Adaptive. Accountants gain visibility into project details without disrupting field operations, creating a seamless collaboration.

‍

Bringing enterprise capabilities to small and mid-sized builders: By connecting directly with QuickBooks and project management tools like Ressio, Adaptive delivers construction-specific ERP capabilities without the enterprise price tag or complexity, augmenting QuickBooks with construction-specific intelligence and automation while maintaining a seamless connection to field operations.

The Future of Connected Construction Finance

‍

By integrating financial workflows directly with project management tools, we’re eliminating the manual gaps that slow down operations and create costly errors.
