Few companies are better at providing technology and allied services to specific business segments than Trimble.

What's more is that the company ensures everything is connected for maximum efficiency. 

After tailoring machine control technology to smaller machines and site contractors with smaller fleets in 2024, Trimble is now launching a financial management system for small business contractors.

Trimble Financials is a simplified, construction-specific financial management and job costing solution designed specifically for small-business contractors.

The software provides real-time visibility into project and overall company performance, enabling contractors to monitor profitability and make smarter business operational decisions.

“Contractors running small businesses don’t want to — and shouldn’t have to — become accounting pros,” said Jon Fingland, VP at Trimble. “Trimble Financials is ideal for growing beyond financial management and analysis limitations of paper or spreadsheets and for businesses that may not need all of the features of more advanced, enterprise financial management platforms."

"The construction-specific capabilities of Trimble Financials also provide usability and job costing advantages over generic, off-the-shelf accounting options,” Fingland said.

What to know about Trimble tech subscription models

Trimble Financials is purpose-built for business owners and companies without in-house accounting or bookkeeping expertise and with annual revenues around $10 million or less.

The software helps contractors manage projects and financials from proposal through reporting and closeout. Users can quickly create project cost proposals, track expenses by job, phase and cost type, and streamline billing with customizable schedules and customer invoicing. 

As work progresses, financial data from Trimble Financials can populate dashboards that provide a clear view of estimated versus actual costs and the overall status of business profitability in simplified, contractor-friendly formats. The data also flows automatically into financial statements formatted to help businesses address accounting requirements.

Additionally, built-in AI capabilities allow contractors to access support for the Trimble Financials application through real-language prompts.

AI in construction: a lot of talk, little use so far

Trimble Financials also integrates with Trimble solutions for estimating and performance tracking, including employee timekeeping. This connectivity can unify office, field, and financial operations in a cohesive industry ecosystem to reduce manual processes and improve real-time data sharing and visibility across critical construction workflows.
