BOOKKEEPING & TAXES · PRINTED BY THE DAY'S WORKON THE ROADMAP

One long tape.
Every dollar on it.

No monthly re-entry, no shoebox of receipts. Follow the register tape down the page — it's still running, and it never needed you to press a key.

01 · REVENUE
The invoice writes the entry

The moment a customer pays, revenue posts to the right account — no re-typing what already happened on the job.

02 · COGS
Parts cost what they cost

Vendor invoices and scanned parts land in cost-of-goods the second they're billed to a job — real margin, not an estimate.

03 · PAYROLL
Labor becomes an expense line

Every pay run posts wages, taxes, and burden straight to the ledger — categorized by crew, not guessed at later.

04 · TAX
Reserved before it's spendable

Sales tax, payroll tax, and quarterly estimates set themselves aside the instant money lands — the number due is never news.

05 · CARDS
Swipes reconcile themselves

Team card charges match their receipts automatically — nothing left “pending review” at month-end.

06 · BANK
The feed matches the ledger

Bank and card feeds tie out daily — if something doesn't match, it surfaces the same day, not next quarter.

07 · CLOSE
The month ends overnight

Categorization finishes, statements generate, and the next day starts on a closed set of books.

08 · CPA
Handed off, not exported by hand

Your accountant gets a live, read-only seat — P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, always current.

THE BRAIN, WORKING THE BOOKS

It doesn't just record
the transaction. It reads it.

The same Thorbis Brain that answers your phones sits on top of every entry on the tape — catching the vendor invoice that doesn't match a PO, flagging a category that looks wrong, and drafting the answer before your accountant even asks the question.

CATEGORIZEReads the vendor, the job, and the memo to pick the account — flags anything it isn't sure about instead of guessing.
EXPLAINAsk it in plain English — "why was profit down in June?" — and it answers from the real ledger, not a canned FAQ.
FLAGDuplicate charges, missing receipts, and tax deadlines creeping up — surfaced before they're a problem, opt-in per action.
