HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Then it's the same one click every month.

01

Connect QuickBooks

Read-only, 60 seconds. We pull cost-to-date and billings for every open job. We never write to your books.

02

Enter two numbers per job

Contract value and your latest estimated total cost — the only two things QuickBooks can't know. That's the whole input.

03

Download a bonding-ready WIP

A clean, GAAP cost-to-cost WIP schedule your surety accepts — as a PDF, in the format underwriters expect.

WHY IT MATTERS

A WIP that doesn't tie out can quietly cut your bonding capacity by 30–50%.

When the numbers don't reconcile to your books, underwriters get cautious and shrink what you can bid. Because TradeWIP pulls straight from your QuickBooks, the schedule always reconciles — and you keep your full bonding capacity.

MINUTES, NOT HOURS

The same schedule. Without the Friday afternoon.

DOING IT BY HAND
  • Hours rebuilding the schedule every month
  • Numbers re-typed by hand from your books
  • One broken cell and it won't reconcile
  • Redone from scratch at every bond renewal
WITH TRADEWIP
  • Connects to your QuickBooks — numbers pull in
  • You enter two numbers per job
  • Recalculates instantly, always reconciles
  • Bonding-ready PDF in one click, every time
PRICING

One price. Less than two hours of your bookkeeper's time.

A bad WIP costs you bonding capacity. A bookkeeper rebuilding it by hand costs you ~$1,200 a year in labor. TradeWIP is $588 — and it's done in a click.

QUESTIONS CONTRACTORS ASK

Straight answers.

Do I have to change anything about my QuickBooks?+

No. You keep your books exactly where they are. TradeWIP connects read-only and pulls the cost and billing numbers you already track, then produces the WIP schedule from them. Nothing in your QuickBooks changes.

Which QuickBooks Online plans does it work with?+

All of them — Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. If you track your jobs in QuickBooks Online, TradeWIP can build your WIP schedule.

Is my financial data safe?+

We connect to QuickBooks read-only — TradeWIP can never change, post, or delete anything in your books. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can disconnect in one click.

What exactly is a WIP schedule, and why does my surety want it?+

A Work-in-Progress schedule shows, for every open job, how much revenue you've actually earned versus how much you've billed — so a surety knows whether you're over- or under-billed. Bonding companies ask for it (often quarterly) to set how big a job you can bid. A clean WIP schedule protects and grows your bonding capacity.

Do I need to replace any of my current tools?+

No. TradeWIP does one thing — produce your WIP schedule from your QuickBooks data. It works alongside whatever else you already use. No migration, no retraining.
