Contractor Bookkeeping

HAND YOUR PREPARER A CLEAN YEAR.

WHY THIS ONE

• Everything in one file: income + expenses, profit on every job, 21 Schedule C categories, 1099 sub tracking, job-site mileage log. No add-ons to buy.
• Built for real use: gray cells are the only place you type, and formulas are protected so nothing breaks.
• A Start Here tab walks you through setup in minutes.
• Buy once: no subscription, no app, no monthly fee.

Bookkeeping built for contractors, not generic budget sheets. One payment, no monthly fee.

WHAT IT DOES

• Income and expenses in one place, with 21 expense categories already labeled with the IRS Schedule C line they usually go on (rename or add your own).
• Profit and margin on EVERY job: pick the job on each expense and payment, and see which jobs made money.
• Subcontractor tracking: totals paid per sub, and subs at or over your 1099 threshold are flagged (red if no W-9 on file).
• Job-site mileage log with miles and $ at the rate you enter.
• A Check column catches missing dates, amounts, categories and receipts.
• Monthly profit and loss for the whole year, plus an optional set-aside % (your number).
• Year Summary: totals by category, net profit, miles and 1099 subs. Print it or save it as a PDF for your tax preparer.
• Gray cells are inputs; formulas are protected so a stray tap cannot break them.
• A Start Here tab with step-by-step instructions.

WHAT THIS IS NOT (no surprises)

• Not tax advice and not tax software: it doesn't calculate tax or file anything. Have your tax preparer review it.
• Not a bank feed: you type in (or paste) your income and expenses.
• Not payroll.
