Built by a contractor, for contractors.
Bullwork Automation is the back office we wished existed — bid, build, bill, and certified payroll on one ledger, from people who run the jobs themselves.
First month free · Unlimited users · No QuickBooks required.
Our story
No tool did bid → books → payroll in one place
Bullwork started on a job site, not in a boardroom. As a California general contractor, our founder was running the business the way most contractors do: estimating in spreadsheets, managing the schedule in one app, keeping the books in QuickBooks, and running certified payroll through a separate service. Four systems, four logins, and a month-end ritual of making them agree with each other.
The breaking point was simple math. The bid never connected to the budget, so job-cost variance was always reconstructed after the fact. Payroll lived apart from the ledger, so labor cost was never current. And every public works job meant re-keying payroll into a separate tool to produce a WH-347 and file DIR eCPR. Nothing tied bid to books — and nothing handled California certified payroll without a bolt-on.
So we built it. One platform with a native general ledger, where the bid becomes the budget, every invoice and payroll run posts to the same double-entry books, and certified payroll — WH-347 plus one-click DIR eCPR — is just part of the system. Built by a contractor, tested on real jobs, priced like we’d want to pay for it.
What we believe
Our mission and values
The principles the platform is built on.
One ledger
Bid to books, in one system
Estimating, project management, accounting, and certified payroll should share one set of books. We built the platform around a single native ledger so the numbers always tie out — no reconciling four tools at month-end.
California-native
Compliance that knows the rules
CA overtime, labor burden, prevailing wage, WH-347, and DIR eCPR aren’t bolt-ons here. They’re built in, because we run public works ourselves and got tired of paying a separate service to stay compliant.
