Five jobs a day, not one.
Most trade software is built around the big job — one site, one quote, one week. Handyman work is the opposite: several stops a day, none big enough to justify an evening of paperwork. If quoting takes twenty minutes, the job isn't worth quoting.
Where the money quietly leaks out
Priced in the doorway or not at all
Small jobs die while they wait to be written up. Build it standing there, send it before you drive off, and it is accepted before the next quote arrives.
Three jobs, one afternoon, none billed
Invoice from the driveway while you remember what you actually did. The ones that pile up until Sunday night are the ones that get under-billed.
$140 is too small to chase twice
Card and e-Transfer sit on the invoice, and reminders go out on their own. You should not spend $80 of your time collecting $140.
An invoice that takes a minute
Line per job, done. Your call-out minimum sits in there like anything else, so the half-hour visit still covers the drive. Send it by text before you have left the street and most people pay the same day.
Sales tax is set from your province, so you are not doing HST arithmetic in your head between stops.

Can I set a minimum call-out charge?
Can I invoice several small jobs at once?
Does it chase unpaid invoices?
I work alone. Is this overkill?
