I run a service business myself. I built ValLedger because every service business hits the same wall.
I own a cleaning company, and I was tired of juggling one app for quotes, another for invoicing, a spreadsheet for the books, and a “starter” plan that gated half the features I needed. General contractors deal with a much higher-stakes version of the same problem — job costing that doesn't track real margins across subs and materials, subcontractor management bolted on as an afterthought. So I built ValLedger for service businesses broadly, not just mine.

Everything a general contractor needs to run a job
Lead capture that auto-replies instantly
A public form drops every inquiry into a NEW → CONTACTED → QUOTED → WON pipeline and sends the lead an instant acknowledgment before they can book a competitor.
Detailed estimates that look the part
Build a real, itemized estimate for a project — not a rounded number on a text message. Clients approve online, with a clear paper trail on every job.
Job costing that protects thin margins
Link materials, labor, and subcontractor costs to a job and see real profitability per project — the single most important number a general contractor can actually see in real time.
1099 subcontractor tracking, included
Track payments to every sub on a job, calculate 1099 thresholds, and export data for your accountant at year-end — on every plan, not an add-on tier.
QuickBooks sync for your accountant
Push invoices and payments to QuickBooks automatically — no re-keying numbers into two systems every month.
A client portal for progress approvals
Clients view estimates and invoices, approve changes, and pay online — branded to your business, with a clean record of what was approved and when.
Invoicing with Stripe built in
Send progress invoices as a job moves forward. Cards and ACH accepted, overdue reminders sent automatically.
Cheaper than Jobber. No per-user fees.
ValLedger starts at $59/month for your whole team — job costing and 1099 subcontractor tracking included, not add-on tiers.
