A day in your boots

Your day is quotes, parts, crews, and clients. Not spreadsheets. We create your invoices so you can get paid for your work and file your taxes right and on time, so you can stay on site.

Jobs start with a quote. Plans change. Materials increase in price. Clients pay deposits or ask for progress draws. Some pay by e-transfer, some by card, some late. Receipts pile up in the truck. Crews need payroll run on time. Subs need T4A slips. You need cash left after everyone else gets paid. It’s a lot to keep track of…

Where money problems usually start
  • Finished work with late or missed invoices
  • Deposits are not recorded properly or not applied to the final bill
  • Parts and materials are not matched to the job
  • Change orders done but not priced
  • Crew hours and overtime rules are not handled cleanly
