Production Ledger

Put the money around a job

About 60 seconds. You already did the hard part.

The job is in. Now it needs the money side, which is the part that pays you.

A receipt connects into a ledger, one row filled.
Bill it

Build the invoice on the job

In the invoice editor, use the same project name as the job. Add labor and kit as separate lines — blending them makes your rate look inflated and your gear look free — then set terms and a real due date.

Track it

Know what you are still owed

Log the invoice’s status as things move: sent, deposit received, paid. Finances then shows what is outstanding and what is overdue without you doing the arithmetic.

Cost it

Record what the job actually cost

Add expenses and any crew you are paying on the job. What you billed minus what the production cost you is the number that tells you whether the job was worth taking.
