Stop Losing Profits to Manual Bookkeeping Errors

Imagine running a construction project without ever seeing the actual profits roll in. You’re estimating materials, chasing invoices, guessing labor costs, and hoping at the end of the month, there’s something left in the bank.
For too many contractors, this isn’t imagination; it’s the daily grind.

The Real Problem: Disconnected, Delayed, and Costly Bookkeeping

Contractors are builders, not accountants. But traditional bookkeeping tools force them into the role of a part-time CFO:

  • Too Many Tools: Excel for budgeting, paper receipts in glove compartments, WhatsApp messages from vendors, and expensive QuickBooks subscriptions you barely touch.
  • Delayed Visibility: You only realize you're bleeding cash when it’s too late. Maybe your last project ran over budget, but where, when, and how?
  • Expensive Alternatives: Hiring bookkeepers or subscribing to QuickBooks LIVE? Easily $300+ per month, and even then, it’s not construction-aware.

You’re not just losing money; you’re flying blind.

Why Contractors Love It

“I used to dread tax season. Now I just export a report from Emendo.”Jordan D., General Contractor
“I finally know which clients are the slowest to pay and which jobs are losing me money.”Bikram S., General Contractor

Why Now? The Cost of Not Knowing

Every delay, every overlooked payment, and every outdated spreadsheet eats into your profits. Contractors lose up to 12% margin due to financial blind spots, while 1 in 3 make critical bidding mistakes from outdated cost assumptions. Delayed payments remain the #1 reason for construction cash flow issues.

You can’t afford to fly blind — not when every project could either grow your business or sink it.
