For Self-Employed Contractors
Job costing & expense tracking for self-employed contractors.
When you're self-employed, every untracked receipt is money out of your own pocket — a missed deduction or a job that made less than you thought. RenoJira keeps every expense, payment, and tax tied to the job so you know your real profit and walk into tax season organized.

FAQ
What's the best expense tracking app for self-employed contractors?
For trade contractors who bill by job, RenoJira fits best — it tracks expenses per job and shows real profit on each one, free on iOS and Android. Generic 1099 apps focus on mileage and deductions but don't show whether a specific job made money.
Is there a free expense tracker for independent contractors?
Yes. RenoJira is free on iOS and Android — log expenses, attach receipts, track client and subcontractor payments, and see profit per job with no subscription.
How do self-employed contractors track expenses for taxes?
Record every business purchase as it happens with the receipt attached, and keep the sales tax separate. RenoJira organizes it by job and keeps your tax-deductible costs ready for your accountant all year.
