About FinoraDesk is estimating, invoicing and bookkeeping for contractors, and it works where the job is. Install it on your phone from the browser and price a job on the spot: add the lines, apply the tax, send a branded PDF before you leave the driveway — offline, no signal needed. Won the job? The estimate becomes an invoice in a click. Sales tax applies to materials and not to labor, the way contracting work is actually taxed. Recording income and expenses takes seconds — pick a category and type the amount, and the app knows which IRS line it belongs to, so year end is a filled Schedule C worksheet instead of a shoebox. No sign-up to start, no bank connection, nothing on a server, one-time price.	About Experience the future of electrical estimating with Conest IntelliBid - the ultimate software in its league.

	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The speed in which you can enter assemblies in take off. Direct vendor database pricing updates. The extreme ability to customize the software to create speed and accuracy attuned to your companies specific needs. Program is easy to use and has options to dial in your bids. This program has helped our commercial side grow 100% over the last 3 years. Now to get our residential side on board. The assemblies and ability to modify them is great, its turn key out of the box and you can start bidding and winning jobs immediately. You can adjust and modify everything to fit your needs and fine tune your numbers on each project and see the effects of each adjustment in real time. Take off fairly quickly. Relatively accurate for run of the mill items. Has the ability to have a lot of features that may be helpful to some. Its accuracy. Ease of use but that may be because i have used for over 20 years. Still wish it was easier to navigate. Cons If you want to go deep, the complexity of the software can be daunting and hard to wrap your head around how everything maps. This caused me to use the software at a surface level for many years. New ways of estimating can be hard for some. Growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. There is a lot of information and can look overwhelming. It isn't that bad. Some of the assemblies are outdated and the material database could use some updating for more modern parts. Modifying assemblies can be a bit intimidating. I don't like that Sure Count doesn't seem to be accurate or complete. I cannot get it to accurately count everything automatically, we have to do it manually. They have advanced features, that they have now taken away (such as smart substitution), that used to be in the basic level program, and moved them to the higher priced program bundled with too many features a small business doesn't need. Read: they are not in-tune with their customer base. They don't have cloud back up unless you are on a different program. This is a feature that is now becoming standard in this day and age amongst all software of this cost and magnitude. The worst part of all of this is the terrible customer service when you call to get help with something. They have an attitude about you, and the customer is always wrong. And when you try to call/email a salesperson/manager to try to warn them about their service department's attitude, you don't get through and they don't call you back. Cloud base is hard to get documents out to main computer Hasn't changed in 20 years.
