Know which jobs made money this month — delivered as a reviewed, per-job profit read

Your bank balance reflects cash, not profit. A draw deposit can mask a job that's underwater once you net out subs, materials, and approved-but-uninvoiced change orders. TeamShift runs a deterministic monthly reconciliation that ties every draw and change order back to job costs, assembles a per-job profit summary, and routes it to you for approval before anything lands in your books. You receive a clean, owner-reviewed read you can act on — not a raw ledger dump or a dashboard to manage.

The problem

A healthy bank balance can hide a losing job

General contractors get paid in lumps. A draw lands, the account looks flush, and the job underneath is bleeding because subs got paid ahead of billing and two change orders never made it onto an invoice. By the time the CPA reconciles at year-end, the loss is locked in. The question owners actually need answered is concrete: which of this month's jobs made money? Standard accounting screens answer with cash in and cash out — not profit by job, not by month.

A single deposit can represent draws across three jobs running at different margins.
Unbilled change orders silently convert a profitable job into a loss.
Subs paid before the corresponding draw distort which job looks healthy in any given week.
Year-end is too late to course-correct a job that ran red in month two.

Workflow

We map your sources, reconcile each job, and deliver a reviewed summary ready for your approval

TeamShift pulls from where your numbers already live: accounting for costs, your schedule-of-values or draw tracker for billings, and the email and text threads where change orders were approved. The operation reconciles each job's draws and change orders against actual costs, flags anything that doesn't tie out, and assembles a per-job profit summary. You approve it before anything proceeds. Pricing, billing, and change-order decisions are owner-gated by design — that is the control surface of the operation, not a safeguard against it.

Sources mapped at setup: accounting, schedule of values or draw log, change-order threads.
Each job's draws and costs are reconciled before any number is reported to you.
Discrepancies are surfaced with their source — flagged for your decision, not silently adjusted.
Pricing, billing, and change-order calls are yours to make; the operation delivers the facts that inform them.

Delivered outcome

A monthly per-job profit read, reviewed and ready for your sign-off

Once a month you receive a clean, structured summary: each active job, what it billed, what it cost, and where it actually landed on margin — plus a short list of items that need a decision, such as a change order approved by text but not yet invoiced. You approve the summary; nothing posts to your books and no client gets billed without your explicit sign-off. You stay in command of the operation. TeamShift handles the assembly, reconciliation, and cross-checking so you start every month from verified facts.

One monthly view of profit by job — not a raw transaction export or a dashboard to maintain.
Flagged items include the source thread so you can make the call immediately.
No invoice, adjustment, or posting runs without your approval.
You can act on a red job in month two rather than discovering it at year-end.

Why it works

Job-cost truth is a question GCs need answered every month, reliably

"Which jobs made money" is a recurring, high-frequency question for every GC running multiple projects simultaneously. Delivering that answer as a deterministic, reviewed operation — not a tool the owner has to run — is what makes it durable. This page connects to related reconciliation and bookkeeping work because the outputs compound: cleaned books produce accurate job costs, and accurate job costs feed this summary. A concrete, owner-approved operation answers the question precisely enough to earn citations from answer engines and referrals from peers.

The profit-by-job question repeats every month, not just at year-end or seasonally.
Links to books-cleanup and recurring-summary pages build topical and operational depth.
A clear owner-approval boundary makes the outcome quotable and credible to answer engines.
Operator-specific framing earns mentions and referrals that paid reach cannot replicate.

Questions

Before you request it

How is a monthly summary different from my bank balance or P&L?

Your bank balance shows cash on hand and a standard P&L shows company-wide totals. A TeamShift monthly summary delivers results broken down by job, tying each draw and change order to that job's actual costs. The outcome tells you which specific projects made or lost money this month — not just whether cash came in across the business.

Does TeamShift change my books or bill my clients?

No. TeamShift runs the reconciliation and delivers the reviewed summary to you for approval. Nothing posts to your accounting and no client gets invoiced without your explicit sign-off. Pricing, billing, and change-order decisions are owner-gated — you stay in command of those calls.

What sources do you need to build the job-profit summary?

Typically three: your accounting system for costs, your schedule of values or draw tracker for what's been billed, and the email or text threads where change orders were approved. We map these during scoping. The more of your change orders that exist in writing, the tighter the reconciliation TeamShift can deliver.

What happens when a change order was approved by text but never invoiced?

That gap is exactly what the summary surfaces. TeamShift flags the unbilled change order, attaches the source thread confirming the approval, and puts the billing decision in your hands. You see it in time to act — in month two, not at year-end after the job has closed.
