Start Free — No Credit CardThe Handyman's Bookkeeping Reality
Lots of small purchases add up
A $4 box of screws here, a $12 tube of caulk there — small hardware store runs add up to real money. Uncaptured, they're deductions you lose.
Many clients, many jobs per day
A busy handyman might do 3-4 different jobs daily. Tracking expenses per job manually is nearly impossible. It needs to be automatic.
Cash and card payments mixed
Some clients pay cash, some Venmo, some check. Mixing payment types without tracking leads to bookkeeping chaos at tax time.
How Hardhat Ledger Simplifies Handyman Books
Snap every hardware store run
Home Depot, Lowe's, the local hardware store — snap the receipt every time. AI reads it, categorizes it, assigns it to the job. Takes 5 seconds.
Create a job per client call
Even for small jobs, create a job entry. Over time, you'll see which types of calls are most profitable per hour and adjust your pricing accordingly.
Track miles between every call
Handymen drive all day. Background mileage tracking logs every drive automatically. At year end, that mileage log is worth real money in deductions.
Send invoices by text or email
Send a professional invoice on the spot. Clients tap a link and pay online. No more 'I'll mail you a check' delays.
Handle More Jobs. Keep More Money.
