## What is Contractor Assist?

Contractor Assist is a complete kit specially designed for contractors. It helps you the contractor plan the BUDGET of your client project, track your EXPENSES against the BUDGET. Prepare professional neat Estimates & Invoices and track payment against Invoices.   

As a contractor, you need to manage several projects & this app helps you manage your project financials at 5 stages : 

BUDGET : Budget is your expected cost (say $5000) for completing the project.You can break them into categories and items.  

ESTIMATE : You can apply a markup (say 20%) on your budget and prepare an estimate ( $5000+20% = $6000). You send this estimate to your client. 

EXPENSES : You can track your actual expenses(say $5200) , as against expected budget ($5000 in this case)  to make sure that you don't end up spending too much and running into a loss.

INVOICE : When the project is complete , or as per payment schedule you can raise an invoice to your client, with a Paypal.me link to get paid faster.

PAYMENT : Keep track of payments as you get paid from the client.

When the project is complete you will have complete idea of how much you spent (say $5200) and how much money you made in the project (say $800) . Your expense data will also help you plan better for your next project , so that you will never end up underestimating your budget.

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2022-05-14*

Hi, 
After weeks of use the app stoped working. Did write emails to the developer but no replay. Reinstall the app same all data is now lost. I was on year subscription with 4 weeks to go.

### 2/5 — App is great until you change phone!!

*2020-01-19*

I really like the app to track the budget of personal projects. But when I changed phone I couldn’t figure out how to do a backup or save my stuff. I reached out to the developer and was told there’s a backup option in the setting. On my app there’s no such option. I wrote back and sent a pick of the settings menu. I never heard back from the developed again. So if you plan on tracking lengthy projects and may change phone, get another app!
