JobTread, Buildertrend & QuickBooks expert for construction companies. I clean up job costing, cost codes, cost-plus and fixed-price invoicing, change orders, and QuickBooks Online so builders, remodelers, and GCs finally know which jobs make money before the job is over. Most of my clients bought JobTread because it should run their whole business, then ended up with half-finished cost codes, budgets nobody updates, change orders living in text messages, and invoices that don't match the contract. The software isn't the problem - the setup is. I know that because I run construction operations in JobTread every day, not as a reseller, just as the person who actually does the work. Here's what I handle: - JobTread setup & implementation: cost codes, catalog, budgets, templates, and workflows built around how your company actually runs jobs - JobTread audits: I go through your existing account, find what's broken, and hand you a punch list with fixes - Job costing cleanup: real budget-to-actual tracking so you know which jobs make money - Cost-plus & fixed-price invoicing: invoices that match the contract, with backup clients stop arguing about - QuickBooks Online + JobTread: getting the two to agree so vendor bills, payments, and job costs land where they should - Change order tracking: priced, approved, and invoiced instead of remembered - Vendor bills & subcontractor paperwork: coded to the right job, COIs current, files audit-ready - Construction CRM & sales workflow: leads, follow-ups, and proposals inside JobTread instead of sticky notes I hold 7 JobTread certifications - Administrator, Estimator, Field Staff, Project Manager, Bookkeeper, API, and Workflow - and I also work in Buildertrend. Before Upwork I ran operations and compliance for a general contractor, coordinating 30+ renovation projects at a time, so I've lived the chaos you're trying to get out of. Available 30+ hours per week. I respond fast, explain things in plain English, and leave you with a system your own team can run. Send me a mess - that's exactly the kind of problem I fix.
