Bookkeeping software for contractors who'd rather be on the job

Bookkeeping that fits a contractor's week

Most contractors do not want to spend evenings in accounting software. The money moves through a handful of accounts: a business checking account, a card or two used at supply houses and gas stations, and deposits from customers. What matters is that each transaction ends up in the right category so quarterly estimates and the year-end return are accurate.

ConsulBooks connects those accounts through Plaid, or imports files from your bank. Saved rules categorize suppliers you have already approved, and optional AI suggestions handle new ones with a confidence score and a reason. Uncertain items go to a short review list.

What it handles, and what it does not

ConsulBooks is good at the routine: materials from the same suppliers, fuel, tool purchases, insurance, phone bills and customer payments. Approving one vendor can apply the decision to its other waiting transactions, which matters when you buy from the same store every week.

It is not a field-service or construction platform. There is no job costing, estimating, progress billing, retainage tracking or payroll. If you need those, a construction-focused product or QuickBooks with add-ons is the better fit. Many smaller contractors use a separate invoicing tool and only need clean books underneath.

Try it before you commit

The demo workspace shows sample transactions already categorized, with no signup. When you are ready, start free with your own accounts, no credit card required. Starter is $12/month after that.
