Accounting that starts at the work, not the bank feed — each of the things a contractor needs from the books, on its own row.
When a client pays through the document, the ledger posts it — clearing against income, on the job the document belongs to. Nobody types it, and nothing else can post it: every write goes through the same rule a person's entry does.
Percent complete, earned revenue, over- and under-billing from what has been collected today, cost to complete — the report lenders, bonding companies and sureties ask for, read live from the ledger rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
Import a CSV, OFX or QFX from any bank. The same file twice is safe — duplicates cannot land — and nothing posts on import: rows wait in the inbox until you decide, because the bank confirms the books rather than writing them.
The trial balance, the P&L, the balance sheet, and an export of the journal, the chart and the job financials — any time, in a form an accountant can work from. Closed periods reject writes at the database, so what you sent is what stays.
Every job ranked by projected margin, worst first, with margin at risk flagged before the job goes over bid — because the budget came from the accepted quote and the costs are posting against it as they happen.
Nothing in MeloBooks needs another Melo product to exist. The other products raise confidence when they are there — a job on a line, a payment posting itself — and never gate a feature when they are not.
Money moves, the ledger follows. What it can't be sure of, it asks about — and nothing posts without you.
