Handyman Software and QuickBooks: Keeping the Books Without Double Entry
Two Jobs, Two Tools
Field software runs the day: the list, the route, the invoice. Accounting software runs the books: taxes, expenses, profit and loss. Most handymen need both, and nobody wants to type every invoice twice.
What Should Flow Over
- Customers.
- Invoices with their line items and sales tax.
- Payments, so the books show what was paid.
How HandymanBossPro Does It
HandymanBossPro has a one-way sync to QuickBooks Online, plus a QuickBooks export. Invoices and payments are created in HandymanBossPro and sent to QuickBooks for the books.
Keep One Source of Truth
Create invoices in one place, the field software, and let them flow to accounting. If invoices get created in both places, they will get counted twice.
Talk to Your Bookkeeper
Ask your bookkeeper how they want services mapped to income accounts before you turn on a sync. Ten minutes of setup saves hours of clean-up.
