Beam overview

What is Beam?

The best way for builders to estimate and manage project finances with AI. Beam lets contractors go from plans to a client-ready proposal, schedule, and budget in minutes.

Beam is an all-in-one project management solution. Create and manage change orders, communicate with clients, pay bills, and collect lien waivers—all from one dashboard. With online payments and a Visa card for field crews connected directly to QuickBooks, Beam eliminates double-entry and helps you keep projects on budget.

QuickBooks Online

Integration rating: 5.0 (4)

“quickbooks is where I did all my bookkeeping. was a little clunky to send the balance invoice via honeybook because there was no way to differentiate products and services, which is why i took off one star.”

“It's honestly one of the main reasons I recommend Jobber to clients. As an accountant, having invoices, payments, and customer data flow straight into QuickBooks Online means I'm not re-entering everything manually or chasing down missing information”
