Everything you want to know before getting started.
What is Latch?
Latch is an AI-powered financial controller/CFO built for home service contractors. It connects to your QuickBooks, bank accounts, and CRM — then delivers real-time cash visibility, job costing, AP/AR intelligence, and CFO-level insights through a dashboard and a text thread. Think of it as the CFO you've always needed, without the $200K salary.
What is bookkeeping for contractors and how is Latch different?
Bookkeeping for contractors means tracking income, expenses, job costs, and financial statements — but built around how contractors actually operate: jobs, crews, change orders, and service lines. Traditional bookkeeping firms reconcile your accounts and send you a report once a month. Latch runs continuously — every transaction categorized in real time, books always current, and a CFO-level intelligence layer that tells you what the numbers actually mean.
What is job costing AI for contractors?
- Job costing AI tracks every dollar spent on a job — labor, materials, subs, equipment — so you know your true profit per project. Most job costing tools require manual entry. Latch automates it entirely. Costs get tagged to the right job the moment they hit your accounts. Budget vs. actual updates in real time. You always know which jobs are making money and which ones aren't — before they're done.
How does Latch work?
Connect your QuickBooks, bank accounts, and CRM in about 30 minutes. From there, Latch reads your data continuously and delivers intelligence automatically — weekly cash and AR/AP updates every Monday morning, a full monthly report package on the 2nd of every month, and real-time alerts when something needs your attention. You can also text Latch any financial question and get an answer in seconds, 24/7.
How much does contractor bookkeeping cost?
A traditional bookkeeper runs $1,500–$3,000/month and still requires you to chase them for answers. Add a fractional CFO at $2,000–$5,000/month and job costing software at $200–$500/month — you're looking at $4,000–$9,000/month for what Latch replaces starting at $299/month.
Do I need clean books to use Latch?
Starter and Pro are self-serve intelligence tiers — they read your existing QuickBooks data, so clean books help you get the most out of them immediately. If your books are a mess, the Controller tier includes a full cleanup, bookkeeping agents, and a fractional controller call every month to get everything running right.
What contractors is Latch built for?
Latch is built for home service contractors — HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, concrete, landscaping, restoration, pest control, and general contractors. It's designed for businesses doing $1M–$100M+ in annual revenue who want real financial clarity in the blink of AI.
What our users say
Reviews from contractors who chose latch
Hired latch after doing our own books for years and always knowing I could do better. They found $43K in unbilled work our first month and now I actually know which jobs make money.
Mark W.
HVAC Contractor
Was drowning in QuickBooks trying to run a 12-person crew. The team at latch took over everything and now I get monthly videos explaining my numbers in plain English. Total game changer.
Doug S.
Plumbing Biz Owner
Switched from our old bookkeeper who just entered receipts. Latch actually shows me which crews are profitable and caught payroll errors that were costing us $800 a month.
Tom A.
Electrical Contractor
Had no clue we were losing money on commercial jobs while residential carried everything. Latch cleaned up 3 years of mess and now we bid way smarter.
Aze W.
Concrete Contractor
Was skeptical about the cost but desperately needed job costing help. Latch set up proper tracking and helped us price a $400K job accurately - would've lost money under our old system.
