What has this job cost you so far?
A job is one piece of work, like "Johnson bathroom remodel". Assign a receipt to it and the job total moves the moment the receipt lands. You know where the job stands today, not at month-end.
In money, and in materials
The job screen shows what the job has cost so far, where the money went, and how much of the budget is gone if you set one. Every line item on every receipt is kept, so you can also see what was bought.
- The total so far, worked out from the receipts
- Where it went, by category
- Spent, remaining and percentage of the budget used
- Every receipt on the job, each with its line items, quantities and unit prices
- In the Job Report: supplier totals, and the top materials bought with quantity, average unit price and the supplier you mostly bought each one from
Free on every plan
Jobs, budgets and live job costs are on every plan, including Free. You never pay to find out where a job stands. The paid plans add the documents you hand over, like the Job Report and the Client Expense Report.
Costs derived, never stored
A job total is worked out from its receipts every time you look at it. Correct a total or move a receipt to a different job and the numbers update immediately. No out-of-date figure is left behind anywhere.
A budget you set, tracked against
Give a job a cost ceiling and the app tracks spent, remaining, percentage used and whether it has gone over. There is one budget number per job. It is a cost ceiling, not a budget per category.
- Told at 75% of budget, once, not on every receipt
- Told when the job goes over
- Burn-rate warning when half the budget is gone in the first quarter of the schedule
- Told the day before a job is due to end
- Told when a job has gone quiet for ten days
- Told when a receipt lands after the job’s end date
The schedule is the status
A job has a start and an end date, and it is active until the end date passes. There is no status field to forget to update. Archiving is a separate decision: archived jobs stay readable and stay in reports. They just drop out of pickers.
Deleting a job never destroys history
Delete a job and its receipts survive. They just become unassigned. The app will never throw away your expense history for you.
Jobs are flat, and that shapes how they are used
There are no phases, sub-jobs or cost codes. A job is a single unit with a single budget. There is no limit on how many jobs an account can have, so on a multi-phase build the pattern is one job per phase: Foundation, Framing, MEP, Finishes. Point them all at the same client and the client expense report rolls them into one document.
About job costing
Is job costing free?
Yes. Jobs, budgets and live job costs are on every plan, including Free. The paid plans add the documents you hand over, not the job screen.
Can I split one receipt across two jobs?
No. A receipt goes to one job whole. Most people scan per job at the counter, or put a shared run against the job that took most of it.
Is there a limit on jobs?
No. There is no cap on how many jobs an account can have, on any plan.
Can it tell me if a job is profitable?
No. The app records expenses only. It has no revenue, contract value or invoicing, so it cannot work out profit or margin. It tells you what a job has cost against the budget you set.
