Factor AE overview

What is Factor AE?

Factor AE was created to offer an affordable software option for small to mid-size architecture and engineering firms. It was designed to alleviate specific pain points that many A/E firms experience, including: flexible project break-downs, sub-consultant management, project tasking, resource scheduling, time entry, detailed invoicing, and industry-specific KPI's. Factor also integrates with QuickBooks online, offers fully-assisted onboarding, and charges no additional fees for support.

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

Keeping expenses down for right now until we get ACT caught up and then will update QB to Online most likely
