Job costing

Know what every job really made you.

Job costing is built into WIPKeep's core — not a plugin, not a higher tier.

Job costing — built in

Know what a job really made you.

Real project profit, without a spreadsheet on the side.

Tag costs to a job as you go — lumber, subs, permits, labor. When the job's done, close it with one click: WIPKeep clears work-in-progress to costs, recognizes the revenue, applies any customer deposits, and shows you the real profit. Change your mind? Reopen it just as cleanly.

Doing warranty or post-sale support after the job? Track those costs against it, too — so you always know a project's true bottom line.

  • Contractors
  • Handyman
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Landscapers
  • Remodelers

→ Try it: tap “Close the job” and watch the profit land.

How a job flows

From first cost to final profit

Every job moves through the same four steps — and the books keep themselves square at each one.

  1. 1

    Tag costs as you go

    Lumber, subs, permits, labor — assign every cost to the job it belongs to as work happens.

  2. 2

    Track work-in-progress

    Costs build up as work-in-progress on the job — not buried in your expenses before the job is done.

  3. 3

    Close in one click

    WIP clears to costs, revenue is recognized, and any customer deposits apply — books that balance.

  4. 4

    See profit — or reopen

    See the real profit on the job. Change your mind and reopen it cleanly, with nothing left dangling.

Warranty & post-sale work

Track warranty or post-sale support costs against the original job — so a project's true bottom line stays true, long after close.

Customer deposits

Money taken before a job's done is parked as unearned revenue and recognized at close — never counted as profit too early.
