What is Best Decision Business Tools?
Best Decision Business Tools is a suite of six field productivity tools built for contractors and service-based businesses by Best Decision Bookkeeping. The tools — CFO Dashboard, Timekeeper, Field Estimating, Receipt Capture, Scheduler, and Job Photos — capture labor, materials, and job data in the field and organize it for your bookkeeper for real-time job costing and financial decision-making.
What tools are included with Best Decision Bookkeeping packages?
All six Best Decision Business Tools are included free with every Best Decision Bookkeeping and fractional CFO service package: a CFO Dashboard for real-time financial visibility, a GPS Timekeeper for job-coded time tracking, a Field Estimating tool with photo and voice capture, Receipt Capture with voice memo transcription, a Crew Scheduler, and GPS-tagged Job Photos. There are no add-on fees or separate app subscriptions.
How does the Best Decision Timekeeper work?
The Timekeeper lets crew members clock in and out from their phones. Each clock-in is GPS-tagged, timestamped, and tied to a specific job. Administrators see live labor costs per job in the admin panel in real time. Hours flow directly to the bookkeeper by job and employee — no paper timesheets, no manual entry, and no Friday scramble to reconcile hours.
What types of contractors use Best Decision Business Tools?
Best Decision Business Tools is designed for general contractors, electrical contractors, plumbers, HVAC and mechanical contractors, roofers, painters, landscapers, concrete and masonry contractors, flooring installers, welders and fabricators, pest control companies, pool and spa service technicians, cleaning services, and handyman and property maintenance companies — any service-based business that tracks costs by job.
How much does Best Decision Business Tools cost?
Best Decision Business Tools is included at no additional charge with Best Decision Bookkeeping and fractional CFO service packages. There are no per-tool fees, no separate app subscriptions, and no add-on charges. All six tools are a built-in component of the bookkeeping service.
What is job costing for contractors?
Job costing is the practice of tracking all labor, material, and overhead costs against individual jobs or projects. For contractors, accurate job costing reveals whether each job was profitable and why, enabling better pricing decisions, more accurate bids, and faster financial decisions. Best Decision Business Tools is built specifically to capture clean, organized field data and give your bookkeeper everything they need for accurate, current job costing.
