Books that keep
themselves.
Everything you’d run QuickBooks for — the chart of accounts, the journal, expenses, P&L, balance sheet — tailored for contractors and wired into the tools you already quote and collect with. When a payment lands, it books itself.
Bookkeeping without the bookkeeping.
The moment a client pays a quote or invoice, MeloBooks posts the entry — income credited, cash debited, dated and labeled. No import, no reconciliation pile.
Materials, fuel, subs, insurance — pick a category, type the amount, done. Every expense posts its own balanced entry behind the scenes.
P&L by month, quarter, or year and a balance sheet that always ties. Tax time stops being an archaeology project.
The full accounting toolkit, contractor-shaped.
Not a spreadsheet with charts — a real ledger, with the guardrails a money system needs.
Every dollar is a balanced journal entry — debits always equal credits, enforced by the system. The discipline accountants trust, without you having to think about it.
Deposits and invoice payments collected through Melo post themselves to the books the moment they settle. Your income statement is live, not month-end.
Quick capture with categories built for the trades — materials, subs, equipment, fuel. Vendors remembered, totals always current.
Profit & loss for any period and a balance sheet that ties to the penny, straight from the ledger — no exports, no rebuilds.
Accepted quotes create payment schedules automatically; what's still owed shows as outstanding invoices right on the Books dashboard.
System accounts are protected, payment entries can't be quietly deleted, and a built-in trial balance check proves the books are whole.
Your books already know your business.
Standalone accounting software starts empty and begs for imports. MeloBooks sits on the same platform as your quotes, jobs, and payments — so income arrives already booked, receivables are just your real payment schedules, and per-job profitability is next on the roadmap, not a plugin.
Close the books without opening them.
MeloBooks rides along with the MeloDocs and MeloJobs you already use.
