Job costing
Job costing software for contractors and service businesses
A bank balance cannot tell you what a job earned. Start with a complete project cost record and compare it with the revenue for the same scope.

The problem
Where the work slips.
Small gaps between the estimate and the work add up.
- Purchases are left unassigned.
- Labour is missing until the end of the week.
- An invoice is mistaken for cash received.
In Ordvero
How the work moves.
From the agreed scope to the final invoice, on one project.
- Step 1
Capture costs at their source
Assign reviewed receipts and labour records to the project. Keep subcontractor agreements, bills and payments connected rather than adding each stage as another expense.
- Step 2
Compare like with like
Review the job’s revenue and recorded costs. Check tax treatment and the scope being compared before interpreting a margin.
- Step 3
Review missing records
An apparent profit can change when late supplier receipts or labour arrive. Use project finances as a view of recorded information, then reconcile outstanding items before calling the job complete.
Is it a fit?
Common questions
Owners who need a job-level financial record alongside billing and field work. It complements bookkeeping; it does not replace financial or tax advice.
Is invoiced revenue the same as payment?
No. An issued invoice, received payment and project cost answer different questions. Keep the open balance visible alongside the job’s costs.
