How it works

From bill to signed record.

  1. Connect QuickBooks

    One Intuit connection; choose the vendors and records SubLien uses.

  2. A bill reaches the queue

    PO-linked and qualifying project-assigned bills can be surfaced.

  3. Review the draft

    Choose the waiver type and check only the fields that selected form uses.

  4. Send and follow up

    The sub signs from a secure link; your team sees the returned record and can reopen the bill.

Imported facts. Your review.

SubLien organizes the record and runs configured checks. It does not make legal, payment or compliance determinations for your company.

SubLien carries forward

  • Vendor, project, bill amount and reference
  • Project-assigned bills, with or without a PO
  • A link back to the bill in QuickBooks

Your team decides

  • Which waiver type fits the payment
  • The last work date covered, when the form uses one, and any exceptions
  • Whether the form and facts are right, and when to send
Same vendors · every workflow

COIs, W-9s and documents for the vendors you track.

Insurance, W-9 and document records stay in SubLien; they are not written back to QuickBooks.

COIs for the same vendors

Request certificates by secure link. AI prefills the ACORD 25; your reviewer checks the source and records the decision.

See COI tracking software

W-9s on the same record

A secure upload link with scheduled reminders. SubLien stores the file; it never reads it or sends it to an AI provider.

See W-9 collection

Every other document

Licenses, contracts, sign-offs and affidavits. Store them, request them, or send them for signature or notarization.

Can a bill without a purchase order require a lien waiver?

Yes. When a bill is assigned to one connected QuickBooks Project or job-tracking subcustomer and its vendor is marked for lien-waiver tracking, the project carries into the draft automatically. Your team reviews the waiver type and form before sending.

Does SubLien choose the lien waiver type automatically?

No. Your team reviews the payment facts and chooses conditional or unconditional, progress or final. A bill or PO status does not prove which waiver fits, and SubLien does not make a legal determination.

Can I return to the original bill in QuickBooks?

Yes — when the waiver came from an imported bill and the connection is available, the waiver record can show an Open in QuickBooks link for that bill.

Can I track COIs and W-9s for my QuickBooks vendors?

Yes. SubLien brings selected vendors into a document workflow where your team can request COIs and W-9s, track missing files and renewals, and review the source documents. COI review and W-9 collection happen in SubLien; SubLien does not update insurance records in QuickBooks or verify W-9 contents.

Does SubLien support Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES)?

Yes. IES connects through the same Intuit authorization flow — SubLien uses the same authorized Intuit accounting API calls in the background to bring supported vendor, project and bill facts into the waiver workflow.

Does SubLien require QuickBooks Online or Intuit Enterprise Suite?

No. SubLien works standalone with email and secure links. The Intuit connections are optional and bring bill and vendor data into the waiver workflow. Each organization connects one provider at a time: QuickBooks Online or Procore.

Do subcontractors need to pay or create an account?

No. The general contractor pays for SubLien. Subcontractors sign lien waivers and upload requested COIs or W-9s through secure email links at no charge, without creating an account.

Can I collect lien waivers, COIs, W-9s and signed subcontract agreements together?

Yes. SubLien keeps all four workflows on the same vendor record: lien waivers, COI review with AI prefill, W-9 source-file collection, and other vendor documents such as subcontract agreements. Send a PDF for the vendor's signature and, when needed, an assigned owner or admin's countersignature. Subcontractors respond through secure email links without an account or fee. Plans start at $199/month for up to 50 active vendors, with all four workflows included. SubLien works standalone; Procore or QuickBooks Online is optional, with one connected provider at a time.
