Bookkeeping, invoices, estimates, follow-ups — handled by AI, so you’re not doing them at 9pm.
The bookkeeping and back-office friction that quietly costs you time and money every week.
That backlog isn't a you problem. It's a missing-system problem. Being great at the trade was never supposed to mean a second shift on data entry every Sunday night. Every week without a system, invoices go out late and billable hours get lost to admin. And the shop owns you a little more.
What Tradegent handles for your shop — done for you, not another tool to log into.
Every system is shaped to your shop. Your vendors, your jobs, your workflows. Not retrofit office software. Not a generic dashboard.
The agent handles the busywork on its own — bookkeeping, reconciliation, invoicing, and reporting. You stop being the bottleneck and your weekends come back.
Your system, your data, your rules. No software rent you can't escape. The work we build stays with your business, not behind a vendor login.
A walkthrough of the system doing the back-office work on its own — here, turning job details into a ready-to-send estimate — so that time comes back to you instead of your Sunday.
We know what it's like to finish the job, send the invoice, and still spend Sunday at the kitchen table catching up on work that should already be done.
Three steps from first call to books that run themselves — even if you’re behind right now.
We sit down with you and walk your shop. We map your workflows and find where the time and money are leaking.
We deploy a system trained on how your shop actually runs. Your vendors, your jobs, your accounts, with humans watching the edge cases.
The system handles the busywork. You handle the work that pays. We keep tuning it as your shop changes.
The short version of what Tradegent is, how it works with your books, and what it costs.
We run your back office. Tradegent is an AI-agent-powered bookkeeping and CFO service built specifically for trades businesses. Your transactions get pulled straight from the bank, categorized daily, and posted to a real general ledger — so your books are always current, not 45 days behind.
On top of clean books, you get the CFO layer: job costing, cash-flow visibility, estimating and invoicing tools, and a financial partner you can text like a foreman. It’s not software you have to learn. It’s a service that does the work.
We work with QuickBooks — your books reconcile to QuickBooks to the penny, on a cash basis, so your CPA and your bank see exactly what they expect.
If bookkeeping is currently you at the kitchen table on Sunday night, then yes — we take that off your plate entirely. Nothing about your tax filing or your accountant relationship has to change. We just make sure what lands on their desk is clean, current, and done.
That’s most of the people who call us — you’re not the exception, you’re the norm. Catch-up is a fixed-scope project: we pull your bank history, categorize everything through our rules engine, flag the handful of transactions that need your judgment (usually a few minutes of “what was this charge?”), and hand you reconciled books.
You’ll know the price before we start. Six months behind or two years behind — it’s a known process, not an open meter.
Software gives you an empty ledger and a subscription. You still do the work — or it doesn’t get done. Tradegent is the opposite: an agent actually does the bookkeeping. Transactions get categorized without you touching them. Questions come to you as a text, not a dashboard you have to remember to check.
Software is a tool waiting for an operator. We’re the operator.
Contractors and trades businesses — masonry, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, GCs, handyman outfits. Small to mid-size shops where the owner is the best tradesman on the crew and the last person who wants to do paperwork.
If you’re great at the work and the office side is what keeps you up at night, you’re exactly who we built this for.
Pricing has three parts — a one-time build, flat monthly service, and AI usage billed at cost. Here’s the shape of it; we walk you through the exact fit on a call.
Builds start at $5,100 for a bare secured agent. Most first engagements land between $8,000–$12,000 depending on scope — setup, integrations, and catch-up bookkeeping. It’s a fixed price per deliverable, so you see the number before we start. No hourly meter.
The DIY track starts at $75/mo if you want to run it yourself — it’s the one part of what we do that ships as software instead of a managed service. Fully managed, agent-run books start at $600/mo — where you land depends on how hands-on you want us.
Your AI usage is billed transparently at what it actually costs — no padding hidden in a “platform fee.”
Before you sign anything, we run the ROI math for your specific trade and walk you through the exact tier that fits. If it doesn’t pay for itself, we’ll tell you straight.
