Sound familiar?
And none of it talks to each other. So the questions that matter most — is this job making money? who owes us? did that extra ever get invoiced? — take half a day to answer, and the answer is already out of date.
The costs land weeks after the work. By the time the numbers add up, the job is finished — and so is your chance to fix it.
How Hodworth fixes it: Profit per job, updated as each cost lands
The paperwork waits for whoever has a spare evening. Every week it sits is a week your cash is funding somebody else's site.
How Hodworth fixes it: Invoices raised in a couple of clicks
Photos on a phone, notes in a van, an extra nobody wrote down. Then an argument about what was agreed, and no way to settle it.
How Hodworth fixes it: Site reports and photos, filed against the job
What have we spent at Riverside? Who is on site Thursday? Has that client paid? Nobody has the whole picture, so everybody has a piece of it.
How Hodworth fixes it: One live picture everybody can open
Email, a group chat, a folder on the office laptop, a lever-arch file behind the seat of the van.
How Hodworth fixes it: Every file kept in the job it belongs to
Your accountant tells you how last year went. Useful for the taxman. No use at all for the job you are pricing on Monday.
How Hodworth fixes it: Your books, current every day of the year
What changes
Everything your business runs on, in one system that keeps its own numbers straight. Here is what that means on an ordinary Tuesday.
Every cost lands against the job it belongs to — labour, materials, subcontractors, plant. Open a project and see what it is making today, not what it made last quarter.
Raise a payment application or an invoice on your own letterhead in a couple of clicks. See who owes you, how much, and how long they have had it — without asking anyone.
Your books keep themselves as you work, so the money in and the money out always agree. Your accountant gets tidy figures instead of a shoebox — and you get to see them first.
Plan the programme, assign the work, and see what is slipping before the client does. Everyone opens the same plan, so nobody is working from a version that is three weeks old.
Photos, measurements and site reports filled in on a phone or tablet, in a basement or a field. It saves either way, and lands in the office the moment there is a bar of signal.
One home per job that everyone can find, with the right people seeing the right things. No more digging through email for the drawing that settles the argument.
Hours, rates and deductions sit next to the jobs they were worked on. Payslips go out on time, and the cost is already against the right project.
Office, site and management on the same system, each seeing what they should. One version of the truth, and no more arguing about which spreadsheet is the current one.
Getting started
Nothing to install, nobody to book, no six-week rollout. Three steps and you are working.
An email and a password. That is the whole form — no card, no sales call, no demo to sit through first.
Add your company name, invite the people who need it, and put your first job in. Most firms are done in an afternoon.
Add costs as they come in, invoice as you go, and let the numbers keep themselves up to date. Open it any morning and the picture is already there.

Start freeWhy not just spreadsheets
Accounting software can tell you the company made money last month. It cannot tell you which job made it, or which one is quietly losing it. That is the whole difference.
| What you need | Spreadsheets | Ordinary accounting software | Hodworth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profit on a single job | No: Only if someone builds it by hand, every month | No: Not really, it is built around the company, not the job | Yes: Live, on every project |
| Site photos and reports | No: A phone gallery and a group chat | No: Nowhere | Yes: Filed against the job, straight from the field |
| Invoices and applications | No: A template somebody edits and hopes | No: Yes, but with no idea which job it belongs to | Yes: Raised from the job, chased from one screen |
| Crews, tasks and deadlines | No: Another spreadsheet | No: Nowhere | Yes: Same system as the costs |
| Paying your people | No: Another spreadsheet again | No: A separate product, usually | Yes: Built in, and costed to the job |
| One version of the truth | No: Whichever file happens to be open | No: Office only | Yes: Everyone, office and site |
Every row above is on every plan. The plans differ by how much you are running, not by what you are allowed to see.
We did not take a general business tool and put a hard hat on it. Jobs, phases, site reports, payment applications, it already works the way your business works.
Most software stops at the office door. Yours should not — the job happens on site, and so does half your paperwork.
You do not buy the profit figures as an upgrade. The plans differ by how much you are running, not by what you are allowed to see.
Straight answers
We are not going to put words in a customer's mouth to sell you something. Until we can share real ones, here is what we will say for ourselves.
No card to start. Put a live job in and see whether the numbers tell you something you did not already know.
Every feature is on every plan, and the prices are on the website. You will not have to ask what it costs.
Cancel from inside your account, and take your figures with you on the way out.
Peace of mind
You should not need to understand how it works to trust it. So here it is in plain English.
Your jobs, your money, your people. Nobody outside the people you invite can see any of it — including every other firm using Hodworth.
Everything travels between your device and Hodworth over an encrypted connection. Passwords are never stored readable, and you can add a code from an authenticator app to every sign-in.
A laptop dies. A phone goes in a puddle. Your jobs, invoices and photos are on our servers, not on the device, so your business carries on regardless.
Your foreman sees their sites. Your bookkeeper sees the money. Nobody sees more than they need to, and you can change your mind any time.
