Understanding your reports

Read your Reports page — revenue collected over time, your estimate close rate, and aged receivables (who still owes you).

The Reports page answers the questions every contractor asks: How much did I bring in? How many of my estimates are turning into work? Who still owes me money? It pulls those numbers straight from your estimates, invoices, and recorded payments — there's nothing to set up.

Opening your reports

From your Dashboard, open Reports — it's in the top navigation menu, and there's also a Reports tile on the dashboard. Everything on the page is read-only, so you can't change any of your data from here.

Your Reports page at a glance: the summary cards (1), your revenue chart (2), and your estimate close rate (3).

Choosing a date range

Use the date-range selector at the top right to switch between This month, Last month, Last 90 days, This year, and Last year. The summary cards and the close-rate figures update to match the range you pick. (The revenue chart always shows the last 12 months, and aged receivables are always shown as of today — more on both below.)

The summary cards

  • Revenue collected — the total of the payments you recorded in the selected range.
  • Estimates sent — how many estimates you created in the range.
  • Close rate — the share of those estimates that have been accepted.
  • Outstanding — the total still owed across your unpaid invoices, as of today.

Revenue collected

This chart shows the payments you've recorded, month by month, for the last 12 months. It's based on money actually received — that is, the payments you record against an invoice — not on the value of estimates or invoices you've sent.

Keep it accurate: Revenue only reflects payments you've entered, so record each payment as it comes in. See Recording payments.

Estimate close rate

The close-rate dial shows the percentage of estimates created in your selected range that have been accepted. Below it, a short funnel breaks the same estimates down by stage — Sent, Accepted, Invoiced, and Paid — so you can see where jobs drop off. Just under the funnel, a conversion line shows what share of your accepted estimates went on to become invoices. For what each stage means, see Estimate statuses.

Estimates you created very recently may not be accepted yet, so a short date range can show a lower close rate than a longer one — that's expected.

Top customers by revenue

This card ranks the customers who've paid you the most in the selected date range, with a bar for each so you can see at a glance where your revenue is concentrated. Like the revenue chart, it's based on payments you've recorded, so keep payments up to date for an accurate picture.

Aged receivables

This is your "who owes me money" list. Every invoice with a remaining balance is grouped by how long it's been outstanding: Current (0–30 days), 31–60 days, 61–90 days, and 90+ days. The colored bar shows how your outstanding balance splits across those buckets, and the table lists each unpaid invoice — newest-overdue at the bottom, oldest at the top — with the customer, its age, and the amount still due. Click an invoice number to open it and record a payment.

The aged receivables section: a colored bar splitting the outstanding balance by age, and a table listing each unpaid invoice, both highlighted and numbered.
Aged receivables: the colored bar (1) splits your outstanding balance by age, and the table (2) lists every unpaid invoice — click an invoice number to open it.

An invoice's balance is its total minus the payments you've recorded against it, so as soon as you record a payment the amount due here goes down (and disappears once it's paid in full).

Tip: If you have a very large history, the receivables list focuses on your most recent invoices and shows the oldest unpaid ones first — a note appears under the table when that's the case.
