What it does

The short version

Counted Books follows the work into the books: estimates, invoices, payments, supplier bills with approvals, bank reconciliation, job costing and month-end reports. It pairs with GHP Field so a finished job flows into its invoice and payment.

  • Shows what each job earns: revenue, costs and margin side by side.
  • Puts supplier bills through review and approval before the payment step.
  • Matches statements to recorded transactions and walks through month-end close.
  • Explains every total, from daily records to profit, aging, trial balance and balance sheet.
