Job Costing · quoted vs actual

The job's real margin,
while the job's still open.

Most trade businesses find out what a job made months later, at BAS time. Taskr shows quoted revenue against actual labour and materials live — per job, per quote line and per visit — so you can fix the leak before the invoice goes out, not after.

Labour at what it actually costs you

Every team member carries a real cost rate and a charge rate, so an apprentice hour and an A-grade hour hit the job differently — the way they hit your bank account. Timer and timesheet hours cost themselves automatically, and booked appointments are valued the moment they're scheduled, so tomorrow's labour is already in the forecast.

  • Per-person cost and charge rates
  • Timers and manual timesheet entries flow straight to the job
  • Booked appointments auto-valued before the day's even worked

Receipts land on the exact quote line

Snap the trade-counter docket or forward the supplier PDF — the AI reads the supplier, GST and line items, and flags refunds and credits so returns don't inflate your costs. Link a receipt to the quote line it belongs to and you get margin per line: not just "the job made money", but which parts of it did.

  • Photo and PDF receipts, AI-scanned
  • Supplier, GST and line items extracted automatically
  • Refund and credit detection built in
  • Receipt-to-quote-line linking for per-line margin

Recurring contracts, visit by visit

A maintenance contract can look profitable overall while individual rounds quietly lose money. Taskr breaks recurring jobs into per-visit economics alongside whole-of-contract and to-date views, so you know whether the fortnightly round still stacks up — and when it's time to reprice.

Every job, one portfolio view

The roll-up puts all your open and finished jobs side by side — revenue, cost and margin — so the money-makers and the money-losers sort themselves out in front of you. That's how you learn which work to chase, which clients to keep and which job types to quote differently.

Costed here, booked in your accounts

Job costing doesn't create a second set of books. Scanned receipts push to Xero & MYOB as bills with the photo attached, invoices sync when sent and payments reconcile — so the job-level truth in Taskr and the ledger your accountant sees stay the same numbers.

  • Receipts to Xero & MYOB as bills, photo attached
  • Invoices push on send; payments reconcile back
  • Per-line costs sharpen your price book for the next quote

FAQ

Good questions.

Job costing is part of the Plus plan (A$79 per user/month, or two months free paid annually). Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, so you can see your real margins before you pay anything.

Mostly no. Labour flows in from timers, timesheets and booked appointments at each person's real cost rate, and receipts are AI-scanned from a photo or PDF. You can always add or adjust entries manually.

Yes — recurring jobs get per-visit, whole-of-contract and to-date profitability views, so you can see whether each round is still worth doing at the current price.

Not unless you want them to. Field-worker permissions hide pricing, costs and margins — your team sees their schedule, job notes and timers, and the numbers stay with the office.

The receipt scanner detects refunds and credit notes and records them against the job, so returned materials come back off your costs instead of quietly overstating them.

The admin runs itself from here.
