WINDOWS-BASED ACCOUNTING
A different approach to accounting software.
JobBooks101® is designed for construction businesses that prefer Windows desktop software and local or network-based accounting data storage.
Work without continuous internet
Core accounting operations do not require a continuous internet connection, as long as your local computer and any required network resources are available. Downloads, updates, and email functions may need internet access.
One-time license per seat
Purchase a license for each seat upfront. There are no mandatory monthly or annual software subscription fees to continue using JobBooks101®.
Support when you want it
Technical support is available through an optional semi-annual fee, separate from the one-time software license.
Cloud-based products may be preferable for businesses that prioritize access from anywhere, browser-based workflows, or provider-managed infrastructure. JobBooks101® offers an alternative for businesses that prefer desktop workflows and local data management.
