Painting bookkeeping,
explained.
How can I see paint purchases for a particular property?
Assign supplier transactions to the property’s painting job. If a single purchase covers several properties, split the cost between jobs. Open the assigned activity to review the transactions behind the total.
Can I keep interior and exterior painting work separate?
Create a job for each engagement with its own expected revenue and cost budget. Review each job’s assigned expenses and income in the reports, even when the same supplier is used across both kinds of work.
How does Bonnie help with painting bookkeeping?
Bonnie is bookkeeping software for painting businesses. It brings bank transactions, receipt storage, job cost tracking, quotes, invoices, and financial reports together. You review uncertain transactions and assign income and expenses to jobs.
What can I ask Bonnie to help with?
Ask Bonnie helps you categorize vendor transactions, update vendor rules, add customers, and prepare quote or invoice drafts. You can also ask questions about your books. Review the proposed details before confirming a change. Try the sample conversations above, or explore the live bookkeeping demo.
How do I know if a painting job made money?
Create a job and assign its related income and expenses. The job page shows expected revenue, cost budget, and assigned activity. Filter the profit and loss by that job to review actual results. The picture depends on assigning the relevant transactions, including costs paid later.
How do I track a supply receipt across several painting jobs?
Split the supply-house transaction across the jobs it belongs to. Each painting job gets its share of the expense, while the receipt stays attached to the original transaction.
Does Bonnie replace my scheduling app?
Keep the tools you use for appointments and dispatch. Bonnie supports the bookkeeping behind the work. Using the tools alongside each other does not imply a direct integration.
What can I share with my accountant?
Export reports as CSV files, or print and save them as PDFs. Your books also include transaction details and an audit history. This workflow uses exports; a separate accountant login is not included.
Can I use Bonnie from my phone?
Yes. Use the phone-optimized dashboard in your browser, including uploading receipt photos. The native iOS app is coming soon.
