Compare every job against what you quoted
Margins and profitability.
Part of reporting & analytics in Gaffer, which replaces waiting for the year-end accounts.
Know which jobs make money before the year-end accounts tell you.
Revenue, profit per job, win rate, cash-flow forecast and customer acquisition — built-in reports plus a report builder for the question nobody thought to ask.
Price the next job on what the last one actually cost.
Job costing analysis is one of the 7 things in reporting & analytics. See the rest →
- Every job compared against what it was quoted for
- Time, materials, subcontractor cost and expenses in one place
- Overruns visible while you can still do something about them
- The next quote is based on evidence rather than on hope
Step 06 of the job: paid
The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.
Reporting & Analytics is where job costing analysis sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What is job costing analysis for?
Every job compared against what it was quoted for Time, materials, subcontractor cost and expenses in one place
How accurate is profit per job?
As accurate as what goes in: labour from recorded time, materials from what was actually added, expenses and subcontractor cost against the job. It will not guess at overheads you have not told it about.
Can I get the numbers out?
Every report exports to CSV, and the report builder lets you pick your own fields and filters. Your accountant gets a file, not a screenshot.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Job costing analysis is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
