Best Decision Business Tools — Field Tools for Contractors, Included Free with Bookkeeping
Included Free with Bookkeeping & CFO Packages

Your Books Should Tell You
More Than Your Tax Bill

We built six field tools to get your job data to your bookkeeper — clean, organized, and on time. Live labor costs, GPS-tagged time, site photos, voice receipts, and a financial dashboard that shows you which jobs are making money while you can still do something about it.

Most contractors find out if a job made money after it's done.

After the invoice. After the bookkeeper closes the month. That's too late to change anything.

The problem starts in the field. The data your bookkeeper needs — labor hours, receipts, photos, estimates — rarely makes it back accurately or on time. By the time it reaches them, it's incomplete, late, and has to be pieced together with guesses.

  • Receipts don't make it back — or land in the wrong category
  • Hours aren't tracked to the job, so labor costs are wrong
  • Estimates are built from memory days after the site visit
  • Photos sit in someone's camera roll and go nowhere
  • By the time the books are closed, it's too late to act

We built this differently.

Most field apps were built for operations — scheduling, dispatching, quoting. They don't give your bookkeeper the organized data they need to help you make real financial decisions.

We started with what the bookkeeper and fractional CFO need to see, then built the field tools to feed that.

  • Clock-ins tied to the job — labor costs accurate in real time
  • Receipts with voice notes — costs hit the right category on the right job
  • Photos filed to the job — verified, GPS-tagged, retrievable in seconds
  • Estimates captured on site — built from real data, not memory
  • A financial dashboard that puts it all together

Six Tools. One Financial Picture.

Every feature has one destination: your bookkeeper. Clean hours, clean receipts, accurate estimates, verified photos — all organized and ready so your bookkeeper can tell you which jobs are making money.

CFO Dashboard

Live labor costs, work in progress (WIP), and estimate vs. actual by job. See your pipeline value, contracted revenue, cash on hand, margin, and collection rate — not end-of-month, but right now.

Key Benefit
See which jobs are making money — and which ones are eating it — while you can still change something.

Timekeeper

Your crew clocks in from their phones. Every punch is GPS-tagged, timestamped, and tied to a specific job. Administrators see live labor costs per job in the admin panel.

Key Benefit
Clean hours by employee, by job — no paper timesheets, no Friday scramble, no guessing.

Field Estimating

Walk the job, open the app, and capture photos of the scope, typed notes, or voice recordings that are automatically transcribed. Everything is tied to the job and ready when you sit down to build the estimate.

Key Benefit
Stop losing work to contractors who aren't better than you — they're just quicker on the reply.

Receipt Capture

An employee snaps a photo, says what it's for and which job it belongs to, and moves on. The voice memo is automatically transcribed. Your bookkeeper opens it and sees the receipt, the job, and exactly what it is.

Key Benefit
No guessing, no follow-up calls, no receipts lumped into a generic line that wrecks your job costing.

Scheduler

Build the crew schedule once in the admin panel — job, employee, tasks. Your crew sees it on their phone. When they clock in, the job is already there. No calls asking where to go. No hours on the wrong job.

Key Benefit
Labor hours are tied to the right job from the very first punch — nothing to fix later.

Job Photos

Every photo is GPS-tagged, timestamped, and filed to the job the moment it's taken — before, during, and after. Your bookkeeper can verify material charges. You can pull a geo-tagged photo for any job in thirty seconds.

Key Benefit
Documentation for every job, organized and retrievable — not buried in someone's camera roll.

Built Backward From Your Books

Most field apps were built for operations — dispatching, quoting, project management. They don't connect to your financials in a way that's actually useful.

We started with what a bookkeeper and fractional CFO need to see — and built the field tools to deliver exactly that. When all of it reaches your bookkeeper clean and organized, they can tell you something useful: this job made money, that one didn't, here's why, and here's what to change on the next bid.

That's when your financial picture stops being a tax document and starts being the most important tool in your business.

What is job costing for contractors?

Job costing is the practice of tracking all labor, material, and overhead costs against individual jobs or projects.

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.
