For general contractors

Subcontractor invoices and job-cost paperwork, cleaned up before they reach your system

Your accounting team stops chasing missing lien waivers, re-keying sub invoices, and working out which job a supplier bill belongs to. You get a checked, coded packet ready to post — and a short list of what is still outstanding.

No system switch. No migration. We work around Procore, Sage, Foundation, Viewpoint, CMiC, and QuickBooks rather than replacing them.

Built for commercial and multifamily general contractors roughly $5M–75M in revenue, where invoice volume has outgrown one bookkeeper and a spreadsheet.

Your project system isn’t the problem. The paperwork around it is.

Subcontractor invoices, supplier bills, lien waivers, W-9s, COIs, and pay-app backup arrive through email, PDFs, portals, and paper — long before any of it reaches Procore, Sage, Foundation, Viewpoint, or QuickBooks.

Somebody opens each one, works out which job and cost code it belongs to, checks it against the subcontract or purchase order, chases whoever has to approve it, and only then keys it in. That is where the delays start, and it is where the expensive mistakes come from: the invoice paid twice, the waiver nobody collected before releasing payment, the cost coded to the wrong job and found at closeout.

The problem, in an operator’s own words
“How have you been tracking sub waivers, supplier waivers, and any other compliance documents needed to release payments? I currently have created an Excel spreadsheet with all this information that I am constantly updating and it’s monotonous.”
— A contractor describing the problem on a public industry forum
01Sub and supplier invoices arrive through too many channels
02Every invoice needs a job and cost code before it can be entered
03Invoices have to be matched to subcontracts, POs, and change orders
04Lien waivers, W-9s, and COIs get tracked in a separate spreadsheet
05Pay-app backup is assembled by hand, and retainage tracked outside the system
06Approvals get chased across email and text

What we handle

Start with sub and supplier invoices. Add the compliance and pay-app work as it makes sense.

Sub and supplier invoice intake
Collect invoices from email, portals, and paper into one tracked place per job.
Job and cost-code coding prep
Suggested job, phase, and cost-code coding using your own structure and past history — your team confirms.
Commitment matching
Match invoices against subcontracts, purchase orders, and approved change orders before they reach accounting.
Duplicate and rebill checks
Flag repeat invoice numbers, re-sent statements, and near-identical amounts before anything gets paid twice.
Lien waivers, W-9s, and COIs
Track which compliance documents you have, which are missing, and which have expired — so the gaps surface before a payment run, not during one.
Approval follow-up
Track who owes an approval on which invoice and send the reminders, so it stops living in a project manager’s inbox.
Exception queue
Anything we cannot tie to a job, a commitment, or a cost code goes on one short list with a specific question attached.
Pay-app backup and handoff
Backup assembled and organised for the pay application or draw, and a packet in the shape your accounting system expects.

Works with Procore, Sage, Foundation, Viewpoint, and QuickBooks

You do not need to change systems to clean up the paperwork feeding them. Your project and accounting systems stay the system of record — we clean up what happens before information gets there.

Walk a draw packet, page by page

A subcontractor pay application with its continuation sheet, lien waiver, certified payroll and change order request. Select any finding to see the line it came off.

A pay application under review: the amount requested, the two lines held back, and the missing certified payroll that blocks the whole certificate — each one linked to the page it was found on.

How it works

People make the judgment calls. Software does the repetitive parts. We start by watching how your team actually works today.

No software switch required
We work around the systems you already run
Your team stays in the approval seat
  1. Map your current workflow
    A short working session on how bills arrive, who touches them, and where they stall.
  2. Collect samples
    A batch of real bills, invoices, and process notes. Redacted is fine.
  3. Build the cleanup process around your tools
    Intake, checks, coding prep, and approval follow-up defined against your software and chart of accounts.
  4. Deliver on a cycle
    Review-ready packets, a missing-bill list, and an exception queue on a schedule your team can count on.

Where we use AI, and where we don’t

Software does the repetitive reading and matching. People make every judgment call that costs money if it is wrong.

What the software does
  • Reads bills and invoices, including scans and awkward PDFs
  • Pulls amounts, dates, account numbers, and invoice numbers
  • Matches each bill to the right property, unit, and account
  • Suggests coding from your own chart of accounts and past history
  • Flags duplicates, near-identical amounts, and bills that never arrived
What people do
  • Check every bill before it reaches your team
  • Resolve anything ambiguous — or attach a question and put it on the exception list
  • Decide what counts as an exception in the first place
  • On your side: approve and post every payment

No payment is ever approved by software, and nothing reaches your team that a person has not already looked at. Where we are not confident about a bill, it goes on the exception list with a question attached rather than a guess.

Construction questions

Do we have to change our project or accounting system?

No. Procore, Sage, Foundation, Viewpoint, CMiC, or QuickBooks stays your system of record, and your team still approves and posts. We handle the collection, checking, matching, and coding preparation that happens before anything is entered.

Do you need access to our Procore or Sage account?

No. We can start with no access to your systems at all — paperwork comes to us, and the finished packet comes back in whatever format your team already uses to enter it. If a direct connection turns out to be possible and genuinely useful, we can look at it later. It is never a prerequisite.

Can you code to our cost-code structure?

Yes, and we prefer to. Coding suggestions come from your own job and cost-code structure and your past coding history, which is what makes them useful rather than generic. Your team confirms every one before it is posted.

Do you handle lien waivers?

We track them: which waivers you have collected, which are still outstanding for a given job or pay period, which have expired, and what is missing before a payment run. To be clear about the boundary — we are not a law firm and we do not certify that a waiver is legally sufficient. We make sure you can see the status of every document, so your team and your counsel are deciding with complete information rather than hunting for it.

What about pay applications and draw packages?

We assemble and organise the backup — invoices, waivers, and supporting documents matched to the right period and job — so the person preparing the application is not rebuilding it from scratch each month. Preparing and certifying the application itself stays with your team.

How does this start?

With a free 30-minute workflow review. A short working session on how invoices and compliance documents reach you today, plus a batch of redacted samples. Afterwards you get a short written map of how the process could become faster, cleaner, and review-ready, and what we would tackle first. No cost, no obligation, and it is useful whether or not you work with us.
