I'm the admin, cultivating the pipeline and handling accounting while Hubby is in the field getting the work done and estimates. We are the sole owners of our companies.

My biggest struggle is watching him pay cash or using a personal card for BUSINESS expenses! But I digress...

We use Quickbooks Online which is tied to our bank account - so expenses are automatically posted and categorized. Also, American Express is great with detailed end of year reports.

Also, if it helps, we have "four C's" as our values. Communication. Cleanliness. Character. Check [Everything]. If you want to cuss like a sailor, don't expect a full bonus. If you want to leave scraps around the job sites, don't expect a full bonus. You get the picture. Beyond the bonus, it provides a baseline for promotions, and in some cases terminations. There is a further breakdown where there are 100 traits graded 0-2, and each one gets allotted to a "C" and the annual review is based on their score out of 100. An apprentice wouldn't be able to grade on a project manager, so they aren't expected to have a grade for everything. But essentially, the score out of 100 shows progress from apprentice > technician > foreman > project manager.

Hi CompanyCam Team,

I’d love a feature that allows us to assign a Project Manager/Team to a specific project, and then have that assignment automatically control project-specific activity emails.

What I’m looking for:

• Ability to assign a Project Manager/Team (or main owner) to each project.
• Once assigned, that person receives email notifications when there is new activity on that project, including:
  • New photos added
  • Checklist activity (items completed or updated)
  • Reports created or updated
  • Pages activity
  • Documents uploaded or modified

Each email could include:

• A brief synopsis of what changed
• A link directly to the new activity in CompanyCam

This would help us ensure the right person is always in the loop for their projects without having to manually watch everything or dig through notifications.

Thanks for considering this, it would really streamline our project oversight and communication!

• Our color-coded Project Labels would be a good addition to your workflow. Many users utilize Labels to mark job stages, like you mentioned, and they also work with some of our integrations. These are added to the individual projects, and once added, you can sort using the slider filter on that screenshot (example attached).
  
  
• Project Groups will allow you to group related projects from your Projects screen. This is currently in Beta testing, though.
