Built for your trade
Same managed service, a chart of accounts and job costing tuned to how your work actually gets billed.
The pain you have today
You didn't get into this trade to chase down a part-time bookkeeper for last month's P&L.
Your monthly P&L lands weeks after the month ends
You're bidding this week's jobs on numbers that are three weeks stale. Bookkeeper turnaround is the bottleneck.
You can't tell which jobs actually made money
The big commercial install might have been a loss. By the time the P&L lands, the next quote is already out the door.
Field data gets rekeyed into QBO by hand
A part-time bookkeeper at $800–$1,500/mo manually moves Jobber or Housecall Pro data into QuickBooks. Slow, error-prone, expensive.
How it works in 60 seconds
Connect, sync, review, deliver. The handoff into your books is the part we replace.
Connect your bank, cards, and field-service tool
Plaid links your bank and cards. We bring your Jobber or Housecall Pro data into your books — so job revenue and costs land in the ledger without you rekeying them.
AI agents categorize and reconcile your books
Transactions are categorized against a chart of accounts built for your trade, and supply-house costs get matched to the right job.
A controller reviews every customer-facing decision
Austin and team review categorizations, journal entries, and month-end close before anything is final. AI does the work. A human signs off.
Per-job P&L with every monthly close
Want to know if a specific job made money? Ask Poof's assistant, or text your controller — and get a straight answer instead of a P&L that's three weeks late.
Pricing built for trade shops
Replaces a part-time bookkeeper, and delivers detail they can't. No long-term contract.

Austin Semple — 10+ years of audit and controller work
Before Poof, Austin spent a decade auditing and running the books for small service businesses. The pattern was always the same: an owner who built a real business from a service truck, paying $800–$1,500/mo for a bookkeeper who delivered a PDF three weeks late and couldn't answer the one question that mattered — “which jobs made money?”
Poof Managed for Trades is built on that experience. AI agents do the volume work. A credentialed human signs off on every customer-facing decision. The ledger underneath is real double-entry bookkeeping with reversal entries — built to survive any IRS or insurance audit.
Austin personally onboards the first 50 shops. If that's you, you're working directly with the founder.
Questions shop owners ask
Which trades do you work with?
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service shops doing roughly $750K–$3M with 2–6 trucks. Other field-service trades on the same Jobber or Housecall Pro setup are usually a fit too — book a call and we'll be straight about it.
Do I need to switch from Jobber or Housecall Pro?
No. Keep using exactly what your techs use today. We bring your Jobber or Housecall Pro data into your books for you — your dispatcher and techs see no change. The handoff into your books is what we replace, not the field tool.
Is this real bookkeeping or just AI guessing?
Real bookkeeping. Every customer-facing decision is reviewed by a credentialed human — Austin or someone on his team, with audit and controller experience. The AI does the volume work. The human signs off on the calls that matter. The ledger is real double-entry, built to survive any IRS or insurance audit.
How is this different from my current bookkeeper?
Granularity: per-job P&L on every close, which most part-time bookkeepers can't deliver at any price. Accountability: a former controller reviewing the work, with an audit-grade ledger underneath. Responsiveness: a real person you can text about a specific job, not someone who logs in once a month.
Per-job profit on every monthly close. Starts at $1,200/mo.
