Service Business Dashboard

Meant for cleaning companies, contractors and other service businesses that are paid by the job but rarely know what each job really earns. When you log income, add the job name and billable hours; when you log a cost, tag it to the same job. The Jobs tab then shows revenue, hours, direct costs, profit, margin and revenue per hour for every job, and the dashboard lists your top 5 jobs and top 5 clients beside billable hours and revenue per hour for the year so far. The bookkeeping basics are all there too: an invoice log with automatic Paid, Due soon or Overdue status, a monthly P&L and a KPI page with cash and runway. Wages go in as an expense, so job profit includes them; there is no payroll. The example is a fictional commercial cleaning company with 7 jobs.

Questions

Does it do payroll?

No. Enter wages as an expense (cost of sales) so job and business profit include them.

Is it tax software?

No. It tracks income and costs and sets aside a % you choose. It is not tax advice and does not file returns.

Which currency?

Any: type your symbol or code on Setup.

Bookkeeping aid only, not financial, accounting or tax advice. The tax set-aside is a savings % you choose; ask a qualified accountant or your tax office what you owe. No VAT/sales-tax returns.
