Financial management questions

What is the three-layer cost model?

Kaliun tracks three layers per line item: Budgeted (from invoices), Committed (from expenses, bids, and selections), and Actual (from payments). This gives you real-time visibility into where every dollar stands.

Can clients pay invoices online?

Yes. Clients review invoices in the branded portal and make payments directly — reducing collection time and eliminating the back-and-forth of manual invoicing.

How do change orders affect budgets?

Approved change orders automatically create new budget line items and adjust totals. No manual spreadsheet updates needed — the budget always reflects the latest scope.

Does Kaliun integrate with accounting software?

Yes. Kaliun integrates with QuickBooks and Xero for general ledger and tax reporting. Job-level financial data syncs automatically so your books are always up to date.

Can Kaliun help me forecast cash flow?

Yes. Based on your scheduled invoices, committed expenses, and payment patterns, Kaliun projects your expected cash flow over the coming weeks and months so you can plan ahead.

How does Kaliun categorize expenses?

Expenses are organized by cost code, vendor, and project. You can create custom categories that match your accounting structure, making reconciliation with QuickBooks or your bookkeeper seamless.
