Ready to know your project's profitability instantly? Smart contractors use these insights to stay ahead

Imagine this: You’re on-site, talking to a vendor, and you ask yourself, “How much have I spent on lumber for this job?”

Now what?

  • You open a clunky spreadsheet and start filtering rows.
  • You scroll through a folder of receipts on your desk.
  • You text your bookkeeper and hope they respond as soon as possible.

For most contractors, accessing their own financial data is a slow, inefficient process that costs them valuable time and delays critical decisions.

The Real Problem: You Have the Data, But Can’t Use It Fast Enough

Contractors spend hours logging every receipt and invoice, yet they can't answer a simple financial question without stopping everything to dig through receipts and spreadsheets. Their current system records data, but it provides zero intelligence.

Common Scenarios:

  • Standing at the supply store, unsure if you’ve already maxed out your material budget.
  • Mid-meeting with a client, unable to verify if a payment was received.
  • Trying to prep for taxes, but have no clarity on category-wise expenses.

🧱 You have the data. 🔍 You just can’t get to it when you need it most.

Why Traditional tools struggle

❌ Accounting Software

Most bookkeeping softwares are built for accountants, not contractors. Reports take multiple clicks to generate and don’t work well for “one-off” questions like, “Show me all unpaid invoices for this project.”

❌ Spreadsheets

Even the most organized spreadsheet can’t be searched with natural language. And they’re nearly impossible to navigate on a phone while on-site.

❌ Your Bookkeeper

Human bookkeepers are great for monthly reviews, but not ideal for real-time answers. Even a “quick question” can take hours or days.
