Who you are · Controllers · Septic

The septic books should reconcile themselves.

Whoever holds a septic shop’s books (controller, bookkeeper, the owner’s spouse at a kitchen table) inherits every gap between the field and the ledger. The product’s job is to close those gaps at the source.

The chair’s real problems

What the controller at a septic shop is up against.

  • The deposit doesn’t match anything

    A lump lands in the bank and someone spends Thursday guessing which invoices it contains.

  • Double entry, double error

    Work keyed into field software and again into the accounting file drifts twice, and you own the drift.

  • The software bill wanders

    Per-seat licenses, surprise tiers, usage overages: a line item you have to re-audit every quarter.

The work

The days septic services run.

  • 01

    Pump-out routes

    The same tanks on a three-to-five-year clock. The route lives on the board with gallons, depth, and condition noted at the truck, not on a clipboard that stays in it.

  • 02

    Inspections

    Point-of-sale and routine inspections with photos, findings, and the report on the record, sent to the agent or homeowner the same day, not after the weekend.

  • 03

    Repairs and installs

    Baffles, risers, pumps, and full systems. Quoted from the book and scheduled around the route instead of against it.

What the record hands you

Your view of the septic product.

  • One-way posting, on purpose

    Thorbis posts to QuickBooks; the books stay in QuickBooks. One direction means one source of truth to audit.

    The bridge
  • Deposits that itemize

    Payouts trace to the invoices inside them. Reconciliation is a check, not an investigation.

    Money
  • A bill you can predict

    The posted company price plus metered usage you can see: no per-seat math, no quarter-end surprise.

    The quote

The old way

What the whiteboard costs septic services.

  • The tank’s history lives in a shoebox

    Last pump-out date, sludge depth, lid location. When the record is paper, every visit starts by rediscovering the yard.

  • The route runs on memory

    Which customers are due this season is a question the office answers by scrolling a spreadsheet. Due dates should surface themselves.

  • The emergency finds no record

    A backup call from a customer you served in 2022 should open with the tank, the lid, and the last depth reading, not a blank screen.

The day, from this chair

Three moments that change.

  1. 9:00

    The match, confirmed

    Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.

  2. 11:30

    The exception, alone

    One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.

  3. 16:00

    The close, boring

    Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.

Straight answers

What the controller asks first.

  • Does the controller cost a seat?

    No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.

  • Can we bring our septic records?

    CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
