Roofing runs a lot of money through fast — high material costs, crew and subcontractor spend, dump and disposal fees, and dozens of supplier receipts a month. ExpenseBot captures all of it and shows you profit per roof, in a Google Sheet you own.
Capture supplier receipts from Gmail: Most roofing material and supplier receipts arrive by email — order confirmations, supplier-account statements, equipment rental invoices. Connect Gmail once and ExpenseBot auto-captures them on a nightly scan, reading the vendor, date, and amount. Paper receipts from the yard you snap with your phone or forward. It labels what it reads so nothing is double-counted, never sends email, and never deletes anything.
Profit per roof: Tag receipts and payments to a job (by address or customer) and ExpenseBot rolls up the margin on each roof — revenue minus materials, crew, dump fees, and everything else. Because it tracks income alongside expenses, "did this job make money?" becomes a number you can watch build instead of a season-end surprise.
Mileage between jobs and suppliers: ExpenseBot reads your Google Calendar and estimates drive distance to your job and supplier addresses at your country's mileage rate (IRS, CRA, or HMRC). No separate GPS app. Calendar-based, so the figures are estimates — confirm with your tax pro.
Clean records for your accountant: Everything lands in a categorized Google Sheet in your own Google Drive. Export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Sage with one click, or share the sheet. Accountants use ExpenseBot free.
ExpenseBot captures and organizes spend and income — it does not run payroll or crew scheduling, though you can log crew and subcontractor costs as expenses against a job. Roofing is the case study for the trades wedge; the same setup works for any trade.
