HV

"These were built on live jobs, not in an office. Every one of them started because a site needed it: the same trackers rebuilt from scratch every time, and never knowing until months later whether a job had actually made money. They're the versions I wanted, cleaned up so any small firm can use them."

FAQ

Questions

What do I need to use them?

Microsoft Excel on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android. They'll open in Google Sheets and Numbers too, but photos in cells and the one-click colour change only work in Excel.

I'm a one-man band. Is this overkill?

No. Start with the quote, invoice and job costing trackers. Those three tell you what you're charging, what you're owed and what you're actually making.

How do I put my logo and colours on?

Each file opens on a Start Here tab. Type your company details in once, paste your logo in, and change two colours under Page Layout, Colours. Every sheet updates.

Do they work out CIS?

The invoice and subcontractor trackers apply the rate you pick to the labour element you enter. They're record-keeping tools, not tax advice.

Can I use them on more than one job?

As many as you like. Your licence covers everyone in your company on unlimited projects. You just can't resell them.

What if it's not what I needed?

Email within 14 days and I'll refund you. No forms, no fuss.
