Our Story

Built by Tradespeople,
For Tradespeople

We understand the unique challenges of running a trade business because we've lived them. TradeBooks was born from the frustration of trying to manage finances with software that just wasn't designed for the trades.

Our Mission

To empower contractors and trade professionals with financial tools that are as hardworking as they are. We believe that managing your business finances should be simple, intuitive, and even enjoyable.

Too many contractors struggle with accounting software designed for generic businesses. They end up spending hours on bookkeeping when they should be focused on their craft and their customers.

TradeBooks changes that. We've built every feature with the specific needs of trade businesses in mind - from job costing to progress billing, from material tracking to crew management.

Simplicity

Complex accounting made simple. No accounting degree required.

Trust

Your data is secure and your privacy is protected. Always.

Support

Real humans who understand your business, ready to help.

Why We Built TradeBooks

The idea for TradeBooks came from watching contractors struggle with financial management. We saw skilled professionals - electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, general contractors - spending their evenings and weekends buried in spreadsheets and receipts.

These are people who can build houses, wire buildings, and keep complex systems running. But when it came to tracking expenses, sending invoices, and understanding their profitability, they were stuck with tools that made everything harder than it needed to be.

We knew there had to be a better way. So we set out to build accounting software that thinks like a contractor. Software that understands job costing, progress payments, change orders, and the reality of running a trade business.

The result is TradeBooks - a platform designed from the ground up for the unique workflows and challenges of the trades.
