QuickBooks stays your books; Sledge runs the job
QuickBooks stays your books. Sledge runs the job that Excel and email are holding together today.
If this is your setup
You are a small contractor running accounting in QuickBooks and tracking everything else in spreadsheets. Lien waivers live in Excel. Job costs live in Excel. Vendor compliance lives in Excel. It works, until the office manager takes a week off.
What each tool does and what Sledge does instead
| Tool | What it does today | Sledge equivalent | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuickBooks | Accounting, bill pay, reports | Job costs and captured bills, synced into QuickBooks | $90–$200 |
| Excel | Job costing, lien waivers, compliance tracking | Automated job costing, lien waiver tracking, and subcontractor compliance | $10–$25 |
| Receiving invoices and documents from vendors | AI captures invoices and documents from email automatically | $10–$30 |
Excel and email beside QuickBooks
QuickBooks stays your books and is not in this total.
Open beta. Unlimited seats. No published list price.
Why this stack breaks down
Excel sheets get out of sync the moment more than one person edits them
Nothing catches a missed lien waiver until it shows up on a pay app
QuickBooks reports do not show real job costs without re-keying numbers
When your office manager is out, the business stops
