Stop losing your weekends to paperwork
Built for contractors, HVAC companies, logistics operations, and field service businesses — Bookist understands job costing, seasonal cash flow, and the reality of running a business from a truck, not a desk.
The job is on-site. Bookkeeping shouldn't be.
Every day with messy financials is another day you can't confidently answer: "What's our burn rate?" or "When do we need to raise?"
Know your real job costs
Bookist helps you see where profit holds — and where it leaks — across jobs, locations, crews, and categories like labor, materials, fuel, and subs.
Get paid faster
See exactly who owes you what, how long invoices have been outstanding, and which jobs are eating your cash flow — before the bank account runs dry.
Catch the leaks
Ask a question and get a plain-English answer tied to your real books: what’s coming in, what’s going out, and what’s safe to spend.
A complete financial system
Automated financials for field service and trade businesses. Bookist combines AI automation with human accountants to handle your books, track your job costs, and find your missing margins.
