Hey there — totally understand your frustration. As a solo service business owner, you should not feel like you're flying blind when it comes to your finances. You deserve visibility into your numbers, not just a once-a-year tax prep drop-off.
Here’s what I’d recommend based on your setup:
Jobber + QuickBooks = Strong Combo
Jobber is excellent for client-facing operations like scheduling, invoicing, and job tracking. But when it comes to real accounting (like reconciling transactions, managing accounts receivable, tracking expenses, and generating real financial reports), QuickBooks should be your system of record.
The good news: Jobber integrates directly with QuickBooks Online, so invoices and payments can sync over automatically — no double entry needed.
What You Should Be Getting from an Accounting Service:
Clean books in QuickBooks that match your Jobber activity
Monthly or quarterly reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, AR Aging)
Ongoing bookkeeping support so you're not left doing the work
Tax prep based on accurate books (not guesswork or panic in March)
If You're Looking for a Better Fit…
Check out woosterfinancial.com (disclaimer: this is my firm). We specialize in helping solo and small service business owners just like you get full visibility into your numbers — without overcomplicating things.
We make sure Jobber and QuickBooks work together properly, handle the monthly bookkeeping, and give you simple, clear reports so you can focus on your business (not spreadsheets). And yes, we handle tax prep too — with everything already in place.
Let me know if you have any questions — happy to help either way
