Intuit Enterprise Suite is the step up from QuickBooks Online for businesses that have outgrown it. Adding multiple entities, dimensional reporting and the kind of detail a growing contractor or manufacturer needs once one company file stops being enough. You move up to IES for two things. Multi-entity consolidation, and dimensions: job, project, department, location, and cost code, tracked down to the line item.
That dimensional detail is crucial. It’s how you answer whether a job is profitable, how an entity is performing, and what you spent by cost code. MakersHub now supports it in full.
What MakersHub now supports in IES
Three things make IES different from regular QuickBooks: multi-entity, custom fields, and dimensions. MakersHub now supports all three, and all three are automatable through our mapping engine. They get coded and synced with no manual input.
Before this, an IES customer could sync bills and payments through MakersHub but could not push the dimensional data that justifies IES in the first place. The bill would land, and the dimensions would not. Now the bill lands coded, allocated to the right entity, custom fields populated, and dimensions applied at the line level, ready for the reporting IES was brought in to produce.
If you know our QuickBooks integration, this will feel familiar
When QuickBooks opened up custom fields, we built automatic mapping so bill data flowed straight into them with no manual re-entry. Teams in construction, HVAC, and manufacturing used it to populate job costs, cost codes, locations, and departments without touching a field by hand.
IES is that same idea, moved up a tier and extended. Where QuickBooks custom fields handle one company's tracking, IES adds multi-entity allocation and dimensions on top. The mapping engine that learned to code your QuickBooks bills now does the same across entities and down to the line, for the more complex structure IES customers run.
Why line-level matters in IES
Most AP tools sync at the header level. The bill total goes across, the line detail does not, and the dimensions land blank. Someone then tags every transaction by hand inside IES, or drops it in a catch-all and loses the granularity, or tracks the coding in a side spreadsheet. On a construction material bill with dozens of line items, each needing its own cost code and job, that is slow and error-prone, and it is worst exactly where the detail matters most.
MakersHub maps and auto-assigns at the line level, by rule. The dimensional structure carries through to IES as it was set during coding. Job costing and consolidated reporting hold because the line-level detail actually made it across.
Comparison
Who this is for
Contractors, specialty trades, manufacturers, and multi-entity operators who moved up from QuickBooks Online to IES, plus the CAS and fractional-CFO firms running several entities on one login. If you made the move up to IES for dimensional reporting and multi-entity consolidation, this is the AP layer that keeps that data intact from the bill forward.
