How it works
Revenue means nothing if you don't know your costs. Most contractors know how much they billed last month — but can't tell you their actual profit on any individual job.
thecontractor.app's expense tracking changes that. Log expenses per job — materials, fuel, equipment rental, subcontractor costs, dump fees — and see your true profit margin on every single job.
Snap a photo of every receipt with your phone. The expense is automatically attached to the job, creating a complete financial record without manual data entry or shoebox accounting.
Categorize expenses: materials, labor, fuel/mileage, equipment, permits, subcontractors, and miscellaneous. See breakdowns by category to understand where your money goes.
Job profitability becomes clear: if you billed $3,000 for a painting job and spent $800 on paint, $200 on equipment, and $300 on a helper, your real profit was $1,700 (57% margin). Now you know whether to take similar jobs at similar pricing.
Over time, expense data reveals patterns. Which types of jobs are most profitable? Which have hidden costs? Where can you negotiate better material prices? Data-driven decisions replace gut feelings.
