Manage every job. Control every dollar. Footings keeps the job and the books connected in one workflow. Price a job by cost and markup, turn the award into invoices, track every supplier bill against it — and your profit, your GST return and your balance sheet all update themselves. Your crew clocks in on their phones, and the office gets payroll-ready hours.
Opens with sample data so you can click through everything first.
Not a general-purpose accounting package with job costing bolted on the side, and not a US remodeler app. Trades, subtrades and specialty contractors alike — any work that gets quoted, awarded, supplied, installed and billed in draws, with configurable sales-tax and holdback workflows.
Enter unit cost and markup; the price follows. See the margin per line and per job before you send it — then compare it to what the job actually delivered.
Your letterhead, their PO reference, line items, GST, holdback deducted the way a Canadian progress invoice reads, with clear holdback disclosure. Print or save as PDF.
Part numbers, ship-to, required-by dates. Turn a PO into the bill in one click, and see committed cost against what has actually been billed.
Configurable Canadian tax defaults, including supply-only and supply-and-install treatment. Confirm the correct province and contract treatment with your accountant.
Job cost detail, profitability, estimate vs actual, work in progress, committed vs actual, spend by supplier, revenue by contractor. All drill down. All export.
Real double-entry. Invoices, bills and payments post automatically, and the reports use the same ledger-derived records.
Open any job and see what was awarded, what you've billed, what's left to bill, what it has cost you and what you're making — without waiting for your bookkeeper.
Estimates, invoices and purchase orders print on your letterhead with your GST number, payment terms and bank details — the difference between getting paid in 30 days and chasing it for 90.
A time clock built for the job site. The crew clocks in on the project they are on; the office sees who is in, approves and corrects hours, and gets payroll-ready hours and wages.
Each pay period's paid hours and wages, by person and by project, worked out from the clock — then exported once as a file for your payroll.
The invoicing, receipt-reading and job-costing a contractor actually uses — work most crews spread across three apps at $240 a month — in one place, from $59$74.
Today's prices are founding prices for the first 100 paying companies. Your price is protected for 24 months from your first payment while your subscription continues — changing plan, or switching between monthly and annual, keeps it — and after that it changes only after at least 30 days' notice. Once the founding places are taken, new customers pay the standard price shown under each plan. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes. Founding pricing terms
The founding places are taken. New subscriptions are at the standard prices below; founding customers keep their founding price as the terms describe. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes. Terms
Every new company starts with 14 days of Business free — the whole product, no card. When the fourteen days are up you move to Free and keep everything you built: it stays visible, readable and exportable. What stops is creating past the Free limits. Quote as much as you like and send five invoices a month on Free, for as long as you like. Want to see the whole thing first? Open it with sample data — no sign-up — and run a job through it end to end: quote, purchase order, supplier bill, invoice. Nothing you make is ever deleted, hidden or locked.

The limits are real, and here is exactly where the hard line sits: invoices past the Free allowance and the purchase side both stop at creating something new. Nothing you already made is ever touched. On any plan, on the free one, and after dropping down from a paid one, you can always send your invoices, take payment on them, download them, and export the lot. We will never hold your records to ransom to sell you a plan, and going back down a plan is never refused.
Bigger than 25 people? That's a custom plan, priced to your operation — say hello and we'll set it up.
No surprise bills, ever. Hitting a limit stops an action and asks you — it never quietly bills you for going over. Nothing is charged unless you pick a paid plan and enter a card yourself; cancel from inside the app any time and you keep the month you paid for. Companies already using Footings stay on early access until we email them, at least 30 days before anything changes.
The straight answer on QuickBooks: many contractors will find Footings covers what they used it for — invoicing, bills, job costs and books their accountant reviews at filing time. Footings is in active beta: there are no bank feeds yet (statement import is on the roadmap), no payroll runs (it works out hours and wages for your payroll, but no deductions, pay stubs or remittances), no direct CRA filing, and your accountant should review the tax worksheets before anything is filed.
Footings installs straight from this page — no app store, no download, no waiting for approval. It opens in its own window, can reopen its cached shell without a signal, and updates itself. Cloud data and saving still require a connection.
Everyone on your crew installs the same way and joins your company with a temporary, revocable invite code.
No. Plenty of people will run Footings for jobs, estimating and job costing and keep their accountant on QuickBooks — everything exports to Excel and CSV. If you do want to move the books across, Footings keeps a full double-entry ledger, trial balance and statements.
It prepares it — lines 101, 105, 108 and 109 filled in for whatever period you pick, plus a separate PST return. You or your bookkeeper file it through CRA My Business Account. Have your accountant confirm the treatment of supply versus installation before you rely on it.
Yes. You invite each person with their email and a role, and they sign up with that email. Field crew clock in and out on their phones, add photos, receipts and notes from the job, and see their own hours — no prices or money. Project managers see their own projects, an operations manager runs every job without the books, and accounting sees the books.
Each company's records are locked to that company in the database itself, not just in the app — isolation is enforced by database Row Level Security, and those rules are covered by an automated attack-test suite that runs before every release. Your data stays in Canada, and you can export everything to Excel at any time; nothing is held hostage.
It is in active beta and honest about it. Estimating, invoicing with PDF and email, purchase orders, supplier bills, payments, job costing, reading a photographed invoice straight into the books, the crew time clock with payroll-ready hours, reporting and the double-entry ledger all work today. Bank statement import, bank reconciliation and payroll runs (deductions, pay stubs, remittances) remain scheduled work.
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to install — the demo opens with three jobs, real invoices and a working set of books.
