Books that keep up with the jobs, the crew and the invoices.
Plumbers, electricians and other service businesses spend the day on jobs, not on the books. The bookkeeping still has to happen: each job's costs, the crew's payroll, the contractors you pay and the invoices still waiting on payment. Tru-Ledger handles that in QuickBooks, which connects with apps for time tracking, expense reporting and bill pay.
Service businesses this fits
- Plumbers
- Electricians
- HVAC and other trades

The trades problem
You are busy every day, and you still cannot say which jobs or which kinds of work pay best.
Where service business books go wrong
No view of job profit
Parts, labor and time all land in one pile. Job costing shows what each job cost against what you billed.
Payroll eats the evening
Running payroll and filing payroll taxes yourself takes hours. Handled with the books, it lands in the ledger correctly.
Invoices sit unpaid
Work is done, the invoice is out, and nobody follows the balance. Receivables kept current show who owes you.
