Contractors and tradespeople who want to know which jobs actually make money before the next bid.
Not the right fit if
You already use job-costing or estimating software, or you need a bidding tool rather than tracking after the job starts.
Why it is different
- Margin is shown per job, not just for the whole business.
- Flags appear when costs near the contract or margin falls below your target.
- A filled example with three jobs and a blank copy.
What is inside
- Setup. Your target margin and the point where a job's costs get a warning flag.

- Costs. Labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, permits and other, tagged to a job.
- Invoices. What you billed and what has been paid, per job.
