The challenge

Knowing where the money is, job by job

With several contracts running at once, the business needed to see net cash, what it was owed and what was left to invoice — and which jobs were making or losing money — without rebuilding spreadsheets every month or keying in stacks of receipts.

What we built

From the dashboard down to the document

Every figure can be drilled into: dashboard → contract → ledger line → the document it came from.

Cash dashboard

Net cash, what’s owed to and by the business, what’s left to invoice and cash in and out month by month — every contract listed worst-margin first.

Contracts, CIS & VAT ledger

Clients and contracts over a ledger of categorised costs and sales, with CIS taken from labour only and VAT including the domestic reverse charge.

Bulk upload & matching

PDFs, photos, spreadsheets and Word documents read and matched to contracts. Uncertain items wait in a review queue, grouped by supplier for one-click posting.

Invoicing, outstanding & forecast

Invoices raised from each contract’s billing schedule, unpaid items ticked off against remittances, and the next quarter’s cash forecast week by week.

Checks

Rules that flag the same cost twice, figures that don’t add up and work billed past its value — with AI summarising which matter today.

Secure accounts & audit log

Admin-managed accounts with no self sign-up, role-based permissions and an audit log of every change.
