01 Resources

Everything you need to evaluate financial control.

The documents, tools, and walkthroughs behind the rest of this site, gathered in one place. Nothing here asks for your email first.

02 Documents

Three one-pagers, no form in front of them.

Written to be forwarded. Each one is short enough to read before a meeting and specific enough to be useful in it.

PDF Company one-pager (PDF, opens in a new tab) What Crux is, who it is for, and where it sits relative to QuickBooks. The document to send to someone who was not in the meeting. PDF Module reference (PDF, opens in a new tab) Every module on the platform, what it does, and which tier turns it on. Useful when you are working out what your operation would actually run. PDF Return on investment one-pager (PDF, opens in a new tab) How to think about the cost of administrative handling, and what changes when intake and approvals stop being manual.

These open in a new tab. They are written for a general contractor evaluating financial control, not for a procurement checklist.

03 Try it yourself

Three ways to test this without talking to anyone.

Every interactive tool on the site, in the order most people use them.

Interactive Experience Crux Run a sample project through the workflow. Review invoices, approve a bill, and watch budget, activity, and the accounting boundary respond. An interactive sample environment using fictional project and financial data. Walkthrough One invoice, end to end A seven-step walk from intake to the accounting boundary, showing who owns each stage and what gets recorded. Two minutes, no sign-up. Estimator Administrative time estimator Set two numbers you already know and see the administrative time invoice handling touches across a year. The arithmetic is shown in full. An operational estimate from your own inputs, not a quote.
04 How to evaluate

Four questions worth asking any system, including this one.

If you are comparing options, these separate financial control from project management faster than a feature list will.

  1. 01

    Where does a vendor invoice go the moment it arrives?

    If the answer is an inbox, a phone, or a glove box, nothing downstream can be current. Ask to see the queue, and ask who owns it.

  2. 02

    Can you reconstruct who approved what, and why, without asking anyone?

    Approval accountability is the difference between an audit response and an audit scramble. It has to be recorded as the decision happens, not after.

  3. 03

    How old is your job cost picture right now?

    Not how old it could be. How old it is today. If the honest answer is measured in days, decisions are being made on last week.

  4. 04

    What happens to your accounting system?

    Replacing the books is a much larger project than adding control around them. Be clear which one you are being asked to do.

Crux answers all four the same way. See what that has produced, or see the workflow it runs on.

Work through it with us.

Bring your current workflow. A working session maps how financial items move today, and where control would help most.
