Close the books faster with costs that reconcile from day one.
Methvin gives Finance Managers a single source of truth for committed costs, WIP, variation exposure, and debtor pipeline — connected directly to project activity, not assembled from site spreadsheets at month-end.
Project financials that don't need rebuilding every period
Methvin captures cost commitments, variation exposure, and invoicing data at the point of project activity — so finance has a reliable picture without chasing project managers for updates.
Committed Cost Visibility at Package Level
Every subcontract order, purchase order, and labour allocation is committed against a cost code and a project budget line in real time. Finance sees exactly what is contractually owed and to whom — before the invoice arrives, not after.
Variation Revenue Captured Before It Is Lost
Methvin's correspondence module logs every variation claim with a timestamped submission record. Finance can reconcile approved variations against the contract sum and identify unapproved claims still at risk — closing the gap between project revenue and what the contract currently reflects.
Pipeline Revenue from CRM, Not Guesswork
Tender opportunities in Methvin's CRM carry contract values, weighted win probabilities, and expected start dates. Finance can generate a forward revenue model that reflects the actual tender pipeline rather than a manually curated spreadsheet updated once a quarter.
Audit-Ready Document Trail for Every Cost Event
Subcontract agreements, purchase orders, variation approvals, and payment claims are stored in document control alongside the correspondence and cost records they relate to. Audit queries that previously took days to compile are answered in minutes.
Four modules. One reconcilable picture.
Methvin's modules share a single data layer — a committed cost in job costing is the same record linked to its purchase order in document control and its payment notice in correspondence.
Job Costing
Budget vs committed cost tracking across every cost code on every active project. Forecast cost-to-complete, WIP reporting, and gross margin analysis — updated as commitments are raised on site, not entered by finance at period close.
Explore Job Costing →CRM
The live tender pipeline with contract values, probability weighting, and expected award dates. Finance can build forward revenue projections directly from the CRM rather than relying on BD summaries produced outside the system.
Explore CRM →Document Control
Subcontract agreements, purchase orders, payment schedules, and variation approvals stored with version control and linked to the cost records they support. Provides the document foundation needed for audits, BAS preparation, and contract close-out.
Explore Document Control →Correspondence
Every variation claim, payment claim, payment schedule, and contractual notice is issued, tracked, and archived with delivery confirmation. Finance sees the full variation and payment position across all projects without requesting updates from project teams.
Explore Correspondence →Construction finance runs on data that site teams generate — not data that finance teams compile.
When cost commitments, variation notices, and payment claims are recorded in one platform, the reconciliation work disappears. Finance stops being a reporting bottleneck and starts being a decision-making resource
- Committed costs visible by package, cost code, and project without period-end uploads
- Variation log reconciles approved revenue against pending claims in real time
- Payment claim and schedule history linked to each subcontract for cash flow modelling
- CRM pipeline integrated with active WIP for rolling 12-month revenue view
- All supporting documents accessible alongside their cost and correspondence records
What construction finance teams say
Finance Managers and CFOs across residential, commercial, and civil construction use Methvin to eliminate the reconciliation gap between project activity and financial reporting.
“Month-end used to mean three days of emails to project managers asking for cost updates. Now I open Methvin and the committed cost position is already there. We closed period 5 in one day.”
“We had $940k in submitted variations sitting unapproved and untracked across four projects. Methvin's correspondence log surfaced the whole exposure in the first week. We recovered $720k of it within the quarter.”
“Our auditors used to request boxes of documents. Now I give them a Methvin login scoped to document control and they find everything themselves. Our last audit took half the time of the previous year.”
Finance Manager FAQ
Common questions from finance leaders evaluating Methvin.
Does Methvin replace our accounting system?
Methvin is a project operations platform, not a general ledger. It integrates with accounting systems including Xero, MYOB, and Sage to push committed costs, invoices, and payment records — providing the project-level cost intelligence that accounting platforms aren't designed to deliver. Finance keeps its existing GL workflow.
How does Methvin handle WIP reporting for period-end?
Job costing in Methvin tracks the tendered contract value, committed costs, forecast cost-to-complete, and revenue recognised to date for each project. These figures are available at any point in the period — so WIP schedules reflect live project data, not end-of-month estimates provided by project managers.
Can we track payment claims and payment schedules across all subcontracts?
Yes. Methvin's correspondence module records each payment claim issued and each payment schedule received with dates, amounts, and disputed items. Finance can view the net payment position across every subcontract on every project — and identify any scheduled amounts that differ from claimed amounts before the payment due date.
How does the CRM help with revenue forecasting?
Each tender opportunity in the CRM carries a contract value, stage, win probability percentage, and expected award date. Methvin combines weighted pipeline revenue with active project revenue recognition from job costing to produce a rolling 12-month forward revenue view — without manual spreadsheet modelling.
Are purchase orders and subcontract agreements stored alongside cost records?
Document control in Methvin links each purchase order and subcontract agreement directly to its corresponding cost code entry in job costing. When an invoice arrives, the original commitment document is one click away — eliminating the need to search separate filing systems during reconciliation or audit.
Can Methvin flag when variation revenue is at risk of not being claimed in time?
The correspondence module records the submission date of each variation claim and tracks its approval status. Finance can filter the variation register by status — pending, approved, rejected, or overdue — and identify claims approaching contractual notice deadlines before the entitlement window closes.
