01 / THE LEAK
$75/HR × 1 MISSED HOUR × 10 WORKERS × 50 WEEKS
Your electricians aren't stealing time. They're losing it. A forgotten half-hour here, a rounded-down lunch there, a Friday afternoon that never got written down. Paper timesheets capture what people remember, not what actually happened. And what they forget to write down is pure profit walking out the door.
You only know if a job was profitable after it ends. Without real-time labor costs, you are underbidding jobs and losing margin on every estimate.
Tracking subcontractor payments for 1099s is a nightmare. Spreadsheets get messy, receipts get lost, and you spend hours chasing paperwork.
Sound Familiar?
These problems cost electrical contractors $37,500+ every year

03 / THE RECONCILE
Every time entry syncs directly to QuickBooks Online as a TimeActivity. Workers map to employees. Jobs map to customers. Hours map to service items. Your bookkeeper sees clean data Monday morning instead of a shoebox full of scribbled timesheets. No CSV exports. No copy-paste. No double entry.
One click and entries flow to QuickBooks Online automatically. No double-entry. No spreadsheets. No mistakes.
Entries flow to QuickBooks Online automatically. No double-entry. No spreadsheets.
04 / THE MARGIN
Most contractors find out they lost money on a job after the final invoice. FieldTimesheet shows you labor cost against budget in real time. If a $12,000 job is burning through hours too fast, you see it at 60% complete, not at 100%. Catch overruns before they eat your margin, not after.
Every hour tied to a job and customer. Finally know which jobs eat your labor and which ones make you money.
See labor vs budget in real-time. Know if you are over budget before the job ends. Bid smarter on the next one.
Every hour tied to the contractor who worked it. When January comes, the numbers are already done.
WHAT THE FIELD IS SAYING
“We switched from paper timesheets last year. Found out we'd been eating 6-8 hours a week in unbilled T&M. That's real money on a $2M year.”
— Reddit r/electricians
“My guys are great electricians and terrible at paperwork. I needed something they couldn't screw up. One button, done.”
— Reddit r/Contractor
“The QuickBooks sync alone saved my office manager 4 hours every Monday. She was retyping everything from handwritten sheets.”
— Reddit r/smallbusiness
“I didn't realize how much money I was leaving on the table until I could actually see labor cost per job in real time. Changed how I bid.”

Everything you need to know before getting started
No. FieldTimesheet works in any web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.). They just tap a link and clock in. Bookmark it to their home screen if they want the app-like experience.
Entries save offline and sync when they get back to WiFi or cell signal. We built this specifically for construction sites where connectivity is spotty.
No. FieldTimesheet connects to QuickBooks Online and syncs time entries automatically. You still use QuickBooks for invoicing, expenses, payroll, and reports. We handle time tracking so you do not have to type it in twice.
If you can use QuickBooks, you can use FieldTimesheet. Setup takes about 5 minutes. Plus, you can call us anytime for help.
Yes. No contracts. No long-term commitments. Cancel anytime with one click. Download your time entries, jobs, and contractor data as CSV anytime from Settings.
Absolutely. We use 256-bit SSL encryption (same as banks) and your data is backed up daily. We never sell or share your information.
You'll get a reminder before it ends. If you love it, enter payment details to continue. If not, no charge—your data stays for 30 days in case you change your mind.
Yes. During setup, FieldTimesheet pulls your Customers and Projects from QuickBooks so you don't have to re-enter them.
Call (682) 587-9876 or email support@fieldtimesheet.com. You get the founder, not a chatbot.
If they can open a text message, they can clock in with FieldTimesheet. There's no app to download — just tap a link on their phone. One tap to clock in, one tap to clock out. We've seen crews pick it up on day one with zero training.
No. FieldTimesheet captures GPS only at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — like a digital timestamp on a punch card. No continuous tracking during the day, no breadcrumb trail. It's there to verify job site arrivals, not to monitor your crew's every move.
Paper feels free until a lost sheet or fudged hour costs you $500. About 40% of contractors still use paper, but they quietly lose money to missing hours, rounding errors, and the hours spent chasing late cards every pay period. FieldTimesheet pays for itself by capturing those leaks.
Most time tracking apps charge high base fees plus per-user pricing for features you'll never touch. FieldTimesheet is $99/month for up to 10 workers — no forced upgrades, no feature bloat. If a 10-person crew saves even one missed hour per week at $75/hr, the app pays for itself more than 3x over.
