Accounting & invoicing

Accounting and invoicing built around sign jobs.

Bill from the approved quote, take deposits and payments, and let the books fill themselves in. See what each job really earned and what the month left you.

How it works

From approved quote to the books.

SignAcctPro keeps your books, but it does not file taxes. Check with your accountant for tax returns and local rules.

  1. Invoice from the quoteAn approved quotation becomes an invoice in one click, with the same lines and prices.
  2. Deposits and paymentsRecord deposits and payments, or send a private invoice link with a Pay online button that uses your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account.
  3. Books that post themselvesEvery invoice, payment and expense posts to real double-entry books. No one has to enter it twice.
  4. Costs on the jobRecord material, subcontract and other bills, with a receipt photo, and link each one to the job it was for.
  5. Reports when you need themMonthly summary in plain words, profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, who owes you and job profit.
What you get

Built for sign shops.

Who owes you

Every open invoice with how many days late it is, so you know who to call first.

Job profit

Quoted price, estimated cost and real cost for every job. When costs are still coming in, the profit is marked as provisional, not final.

Shop expenses

Rent, fuel, materials and monthly bills in a few taps, with receipts and reminders for bills that repeat.

QuickBooks Online

If your accountant works in QuickBooks Online, SignAcctPro connects to it and sends posted invoices, payments and expenses automatically.

Export files

Journal entries, invoices, payments and expenses as CSV or IIF files for your accountant.

Payroll records

Hourly and salaried staff, overtime, days off, deductions, advances and loans, with pay slips.

Monthly summary showing income, costs and profit for the month
The month in plain words

Questions.

Does SignAcctPro replace QuickBooks?

For most sign shops, yes: invoices, payments and expenses post to double-entry books with full reports. If your accountant prefers QuickBooks Online, keep it and let SignAcctPro send the entries there.

How does the QuickBooks Online connection work?

You connect your QuickBooks Online company once from the app. After that, posted invoices, payments and expenses are sent to it automatically. The connection uses QuickBooks' own sign-in and API.

Does SignAcctPro have a public API for developers?

No. SignAcctPro connects to QuickBooks Online through Intuit's API, but it does not offer its own public API for developers today.

Where does online payment money go?

Straight to your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account. SignAcctPro only puts the Pay online button on your invoice link.

Estimating & quotes

Build every sign quotation from what the job really takes: materials priced from your suppliers' lists, your own shop and install labor, and the margin you set.

Jobs & production

One board for every job from survey to install. Everyone sees what is due, what is waiting and what is stuck, on a computer in the office or a phone on site.

Design & proofs

Show the client exactly what they are buying, at real size on their own building, and get a clear signed answer before production starts.

Sign mockups & drawings

Show a client their sign on their own building at the real size, lit the way it will be lit, before anything is made. Then print the scale drawing for the shop and the landlord.

ADA & braille signs

Lay out room signs with raised capitals and Grade 2 braille at real size, designed to ADA guidelines, and send cut files straight to production.

CRM & follow-ups

Keep every lead, quote and conversation in one place, and never forget to follow up on a quotation again.

Inventory & purchasing

Know what is on the shelf, what is running low and what is on order, and order each job's materials without retyping the list.

Countries & languages

Choose your country once and SignAcctPro sets your currency, tax name and rate, date format and financial year. Work in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian or Arabic.
