JobTread + QuickBooks Specialist

Still building
reports
manually?

JobTread and QuickBooks already have your data. I build the reporting, dashboard, and automation layer on top — so you can see job profitability, billing status, and cash position without the spreadsheets.

Your data is in JobTread and QuickBooks. The problem is getting it out.

You're already on the right platforms. The gap is that job costs, invoices, change orders, and financials live in separate places — and nobody has time to connect them manually every week.

That's not a JobTread problem or a QuickBooks problem. It's a reporting layer problem. That's what I build.

  • You can't see gross profit by job in real time — only after it closes
  • Budget vs. actual still requires exporting and building a spreadsheet
  • AIA billing takes hours of manual work every cycle
  • JobTread and QuickBooks don't tell the same story — reconciling them is a monthly headache
  • Change orders fall through the cracks or get billed late
  • AR and billing status are hard to see by job or project manager
  • Owners still have to ask the office for updates instead of checking a dashboard
  • PMs and estimators work from disconnected spreadsheets even though the data exists

You're doing $1M–$10M in revenue with 10–50 employees
You still rely on spreadsheets or manual work to understand job profitability, billing, or operations
You want a fixed-price deliverable, not an ongoing retainer
You want visibility now — not after a 6-month implementation

Andres Bedoya

Founder, TradeOpsLab

I'm not a developer who learned about contractors. I'm an ops person who learned to build.

My background is in product ownership and operations strategy. I came to the contractor space through a consulting engagement with a specialty painting contractor in Georgia — and in 8 weeks built their entire internal ops platform from scratch on top of JobTread and QuickBooks.

I had never worked in the trades before. I learned everything by doing. That's how I work — high autonomy, deep focus, fast delivery.
