Hate Ledger

For plumbers & HVAC contractors

Bookkeeping for plumbers and HVAC pros who'd rather be on a call.

Track jobs, service trucks, and technician profitability without a bookkeeper. Auto tax reserve, on-site receipt capture, and one-number morning reporting built for the trades.

Sample outcome

$11,200

Average tax deductions recovered in year one for HVAC contractors who moved off spreadsheets.

The pain

You didn't get into this business to do bookkeeping.

  • Multiple trucks, multiple techs — no way to see which routes actually turn a profit.
  • Service call fees, parts markups, and warranty callbacks all get lumped together in QuickBooks.
  • Cash flow feels tight even when revenue is up. Nobody can tell you why.
  • 1099s for subs at year-end are a scramble every January.

What changes

One number in the morning. Everything else, automated.

Route & job profit

Tag transactions to the service call — see whether that emergency after-hours run paid off.

Truck & parts overhead

Category-level breakdown of what each truck actually costs to run.
