Profit Tracking

Contractor profit tracking — know your margin on every job, live.

Most contractors don't find out a job lost money until the accountant tells them next spring. JobTally shows you the profit on each job while it's still running — labor and materials in, price against cost, margin out — all from your phone.

Short answer: Contractor profit tracking means watching, per job, what you charged versus what the job actually cost you in labor and materials — and seeing the margin left over. JobTally does this in real time: crew hours flow in from GPS clock-in, material costs from scanned receipts, and each job shows live projected profit so you can fix a bleeding job before it's finished, not after.

Why "I'll know at tax time" is costing you money

When profit only shows up in the year-end books, every lesson arrives too late to use. You can't re-bid a job that's already done. You can't pull a crew off a money-loser you didn't know was a money-loser. And you can't tell which type of work actually pays until you've already done a year of it blind.

Profit tracking flips that. When you can see margin on a live job, the numbers become a steering wheel instead of a rear-view mirror.

How JobTally tracks your profit

1. Set the job price

Build an estimate in the app, or just enter what you're charging. That's the top line for the job.

2. Costs flow in automatically

Crew clocks in by GPS; receipts get snapped and booked to the job. Labor and materials add up without you doing math.

3. Watch the margin

The job shows price, cost-to-date, and projected profit — live. Green means you're good; a shrinking number means look now.

See the whole business, not just one job

Beyond per-job margin, JobTally's dashboard rolls your jobs together so you can see how the business is doing this month — which jobs are carrying you and which are dragging. Reports and tax exports hand your accountant clean numbers at year-end instead of a shoebox.

Stop guessing which jobs make money.

Set up in about five minutes and see your first job's margin today.

Profit tracking — FAQ

How do contractors track profit on a job?

Log every cost tied to the job — labor, materials, subs, mileage — and compare it to what you charged. JobTally automates the logging (GPS hours, scanned receipts) and shows live projected profit per job.

Can I see if a job is making money before it's finished?

Yes. Each job shows price against cost-to-date as the work runs, so a job trending toward a loss is visible that week — while you can still do something about it.

Do I need an accountant to do job costing?

No. JobTally is built so an owner-operator can watch per-job margins without an accountant or a spreadsheet. Your accountant still handles taxes.

How much does it cost?

$150/month or $1,200/year (4 months free), every feature, unlimited crew. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
