Live margin at every stage — not just year-end.
The Project Profitability Panel compares contract value to earned revenue and actual expenses — with color-coded health thresholds showing green, amber, or red while the crew is still on site.

What it does
Profitability Panel with health thresholds
Live contract, earned-to-date, expenses, gross profit, and margin — ≥30% green, 15–30% amber, <15% red. You know where the job stands before it closes.
Auto-generated Project Budgets
Finalize an estimate and Ledge groups lines by budget category to produce an internal budget — compared line-by-line against incoming QuickBooks expenses.
Five-tier cost breakdown per line
Materials, labor, equipment, overhead (configurable %), and profit per estimate line — so you know exactly where the margin is coming from and where it's going.
How it works
Budget auto-generates from the estimate
When you finalize the estimate, Ledge groups lines by budget category to produce the Project Budget automatically.
Expenses sync in from QuickBooks
Bills and Purchases your accountant enters in QBO post to the project automatically. No manual entry, no batched imports.
Margin is visible in real time
The Profitability Panel shows where you stand right now — green, amber, or red. You can act while the crew is still on site.
Compare and price smarter
After close-out, compare every job by type and scope. See which categories always run hot and correct the price before next time.
