Generic bookkeeping tells you WHETHER you made money. Job-aware books tell you WHERE.
A construction company doesn't lose money in general — it loses it on a specific job, one uncoded receipt at a time. Generic bookkeeping templates total your income and expenses and call it a day; this workbook makes every transaction carry a JOB code, and that single habit changes what your books can tell you. The same two ledgers produce a By-Job P&L — billed against direct costs by category, gross profit and margin per job, with the losers in red — and a cash-basis company Monthly P&L where overhead stands as its own honest line, because smearing insurance and fuel across jobs hides which work actually earns. Built by a licensed architect who has read real job-cost reports, and merged from two engines this studio already sells: the Bookkeeping Workbook's ledger chain and the Job Costing Tracker's job-coded rollups. To be clear about what you're buying: a record-keeping tool — not accounting, tax, or legal advice, and not a replacement for your accountant. It just keeps records your accountant will actually thank you for.
