A comprehensive FinTech-as-a-Service platform enabling contractors to manage invoicing, payments, and client financing from one unified dashboard.

The Problem

Independent contractors across the home services industry were drowning in fragmented financial tools — spreadsheets for estimates, third-party apps for invoicing, manual bank transfers for payments, and zero visibility into project profitability. The average contractor used 5+ disconnected tools just to manage their finances, losing an estimated 8-12 hours per week on administrative overhead.

The pain was compounded by client financing — homeowners frequently wanted payment plans, but contractors had no easy way to offer them without complex third-party integrations that took weeks to set up and charged opaque fees.
