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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an old school QS/Estimator, who was brought up on using paper drawings and take-off sheets, this has been mind blowing. I have been using a free on line take-off system, that has no back up and will eventually be taken down, together with my own take -off and estimating Excel spreadsheets. I love the ability to screen shot my mark ups and add them to my take-offs for future reference. I have seen others using Bluebeam and I would consider Purple Hammer to be above and beyond this system. The ability to compare drawing revisions is a great feature. We all know the architects who like to push out drawing revisions and not actually cloud the revisions.

Cons

  • The only con at the moment is my own limits. I'm looking forward to Ari Isaacs showing me how to incorporate my own take-off sheets. Looking forward to being able to exploit it's features
