Accounting for Humans

BrightGo delivers a complete accounting system—GL, job costing, budgets, AR/AP—designed for clarity, not complexity. With everything integrated with payroll and operations, you know with certainty which accounts make money and which quietly lose it.
Turn Accounting Data Into Job-Level Insights

BrightGo ties every shift, paycheck, and vendor expense directly to the job it belongs to. When payroll runs, employer taxes, benefits, and vacation accruals all post automatically to job costs. When bills are paid, those costs flow to the same place.

The result: true job costing that shows labor costs, overages, and trends as they happen, so you can correct course before it's too late.

Comprehensive Job Costing
Comprehensive Job Costing
Legacy ERPs offer powerful but cumbersome accounting modules. Reports take too many steps, and reconciliations drag on. BrightGo makes it simple and connected, with books that update as work happens. Every dollar of labor and expense ties back to its job, so you know exactly where profit comes from.
Save time
Bank feeds and reconciliations happen live, not at month-end.
See profitability
Every dollar is tied to jobs, so you know which accounts make or lose money.
Stay accurate
Every payroll accrual — from overtime to employer taxes — is automatically mapped to the right job, so every dollar is accounted for.
Run real financials
Traditional P&Ls summarize the company as a whole. BrightGo extends that precision to every job, giving you a complete cost picture down to gross margin. Add up each job’s results, and you get the company P&L.

Every shift, every paycheck, every bill — all tied to the job.

Job costing is where BrightGo’s unified system pays off. Because operations, payroll, and accounting live together, you see exactly how labor, materials, and taxes affect margin at each account.

When a cleaner clocks in, those hours flow into payroll; when payroll runs, employer taxes and benefits post to accounting; when vendor bills arrive, they’re tagged to the same job.

Together, those flows form a complete cost picture—automatically.

You can finally answer questions like:

  • Was last month’s margin up because labor efficiency improved—or because there were fewer workdays?
  • Which buildings are profitable after all payroll taxes and vacation accruals are factored in?
  • Where am I overspending on overtime or supplies relative to contract value?

Accounts Receivable

Clean receivables keep the inflow side of job costing accurate. Customers, contracts, and invoices are linked to the jobs they represent, so payments, credit memos, and outstanding balances all trace back to profitability.
