ElectricalAccounting & Financial Management4HighOwner$ implied
An electrician business owner cannot translate his existing expense, income, invoice, and bank data into the financial statements (balance sheet, income statement) required for a large contract.
Existing bookkeeping or accounting software still requires the user to understand accounting principles to generate proper financial statements, which this user finds completely inaccessible.

- One-click export of last 2 years' financials formatted for contracts
- Built-in error and completeness check to flag missing data before report generation
Target Users: Solo trade business owners (electricians, plumbers, HVAC) with no bookkeeping staff who need to produce financial statements for contracts or loans
Revenue Model: $19/mo per user SaaS subscription, with a one-time $49 'contract-ready report' fee for ad-hoc statement preparation
