General Contractor Guide

How to Automate Expense & Receipt Tracking as a General Contractor

You're running the Fernandez addition and Kim remodel while subs ask for payment. Receipts for lumber, permits, and labor end up stuffed in your truck console or buried in text threads, so you won't know if a job is actually profitable until tax season.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Shoving paper receipts in the glovebox, snapping blurry photos that clutter your camera roll, and typing data into Excel on Sunday nights.

4-6 hours per week
  1. Dig crumpled receipts out of your pockets and off the truck dashboard at the end of the day
  2. Try to recall which project (Kim or Fernandez) each material purchase was for
  3. Type amounts and vendor names into a spreadsheet by hand, often hitting the wrong keys
  4. Match bank statement lines to cash payments you made to day laborers from memory
  5. Realize a $2,200 lumber delivery receipt is gone and rush to call the supplier
