How do you track your expenses?

TheresaPagano
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! :rolleyes: 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.

Irrigation Noir

BS024_Good-Contractor_S2_Working-With-Matt_Animated-Lightning480.gif
For most interviews in Season 2 of the Good Contractor Podcast we try to add a few animated illustrations to bring one of our guest's stories to life. Usually, I spend time brainstorming the visual direction for each animation - but when Matt began describing the mystery of irrigation, I knew almost instantly that it would be noir-themed.

Shout-out to our incredible illustrator, Adam Kovar, for perfectly capturing the classic noir vibe while staying true to our three-tone sketch style.
Let me know if we nailed it - or if not, what genre you think would fit the irrigation story better.

Is there a way to filter by pages completed?

S
Hey team!
Is there a way to filter by pages completed and by the person who completed them? The install team at our cabinet company wants to be able to do this to see who has filled out their daily logs at the end of every day.Screenshot 2025-11-05 at 12.37.04 PM.png
Or add it to the left menu, similar to the Checklist Feed

💰Bonuses

Thanks so much for this! When the bonus is given, do you clarify the reasoning behind the amount or let the employee know the rating they received?

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.

It's clarified at promotions and initial onboarding about the role and seniority playing a factor. So, everyone pretty much knows the higher up and longer you are here, the bigger the piece of the pie. The value score is clarified if they ask. It's the same value score used for annual reviews, so if they don't ask, they will find out at their review. There is no broad "hey you got 2% this year" or "hey we split up $100k in bonuses", just a bonus that shows up on the paycheck twice a year. Since it fluctuates with profit, there's no "expectation".

We have bi-annual profit sharing, that is determined by a formula of consisting of value score, role, and time with the company. We have 4 core values, and the value score is 0-2 scale for each. 0 is lacking, 1 needs improvement, 2 succeeding in that area.

Scores are communicated. No one knows what the bonus will be until it arrives. Everyone is guaranteed one, but again, it's completely determined by what is put into the company.

On the iPad Pro, I am unable to zoom out when taking a picture. Anyone else have this problem? No issues zooming out on my iPhone Pro and Samsung phones.

Hey Braxton!

We appreciate you sharing this! Currently there are no known issues that would impact your ability to utilize zoom options on the iPad. To troubleshoot this effectively we'd need more information like the model of your iPad and the version of the app you're using. Our Support Team would love to help! Could you please reach out to them with these details via the in-app chat or at support@companycam.com?

Edit Comments

John Talman
Hey Sharee,

Great question! Photo comments are meant to me a source of truth and as such can't be edited or deleted at this time. We do get many requests for those options so we do have an existing Feature Request.

We'd be happy to add you to the ticket! Please reach out to our Support Team via the in-app chat or at support@companycam.com. That way they can update you should those changes be brought to life.
