I do not quite understand what you mean.
Who does the time tracking? What do the employees do? Who enters data on FA?
If you clarify it, I might be able to help.

My company does the following:
1. Provide service for technical installations (Invoicing)
2. Utilize 1099 Employees to complete work on an hourly scale (Time Tracking and P/L)
3. Purchase material direct from dealer (Tax Exempt Purchase Order)
4. Sell inventory stock to customers for installations only.
5. Provide Quotes for customers and analyze potential profit and loss (Quote/Invoicing)

Is this something that FrontAccounting can provide?
There are not very many tutorials around, and the wiki is extensive. However, the wiki is taken from the perspective of being well-versed in FA already
