Case Study: BDO USA achieves real-time GPS time tracking and streamlined labor and job-cost reporting with QuickBooks Time (QuickBooks)

How QuickBooks Time solves top pain points for businesses

QuickBooks Time, championed by Deborah Defer — Managing Director and co‑lead of Technology at BDO USA — addresses common small‑business pain points around hourly workforce management. Many clients struggle with tracking time, scheduling, and cross‑departmental buy‑in for new systems, which makes accurate job costing, payroll, and labor visibility difficult.

By implementing QuickBooks Time’s GPS time tracking, intuitive mobile app, and customizable reporting, Deborah trains and certifies clients to drive adoption and get stakeholder buy‑in. The result: real‑time employee visibility, simplified scheduling and time capture, deeper insights into job costing, mileage and profitability, and improved operations that strengthen her role as a trusted advisor.
