Service & project businesses
Revenue can look healthy while jobs lose money. YourProfitBook attaches labour, materials, subcontractor cost, and invoices to the job, then reports the margin from the same ledger your statements come from.
No credit card required · Your onboarding starts on the run a service company or projects path
Every one of these posts to the same double-entry ledger, so the operational view and the financial statements never disagree.
Every operational record a service business creates already carries the accounting consequence with it.
Create the customer once, open the job against them, and set an estimate or budget you can measure actuals against while the work is live.
Time entries, bills, expenses and subcontractor costs are assigned to the job, so committed and actual cost sit next to the revenue they produced.
Progress and final invoices post to receivables, age automatically, and feed the cash view — no separate invoicing tool to reconcile.
The margin you read on the job is derived from the same postings as the profit and loss, so the two never tell different stories.
Job costing on top of a real accounting system, not a spreadsheet bolted to an invoicing app.
Every job cost and invoice is a real posting with a full audit trail behind it.
Bank reconciliation and controlled period close keep the job numbers defensible at month end.
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and exports your accountant can pick up without a cleanup pass.

The platform is the same. What you see first depends on how the business actually runs — and your choice shapes the workspace and checklist you land on after signup.
