myJobManager

Review

myJobManager is a UK-focused platform that brings construction job management together with accounting, payroll and statutory filing. It is best suited to contractors and construction SMEs that want office and field workflows alongside UK tax compliance. Its broad feature set is compelling, though smaller firms should weigh the per-user cost against the depth they need.

Overview

The platform links the path from quote to scheduled job with task assignments, timesheets, purchase orders and live job costing. That joined-up workflow can help firms keep commercial and operational activity in one system rather than managing job costs separately. Progress billing, retainage tracking, commitment tracking and subcontractor management add useful controls for project-based work.

Its scope goes beyond job management: payroll, CIS, VAT and statutory accounts sit alongside construction workflows. That breadth is most valuable to UK businesses that want one platform for both delivery and compliance; firms looking only for basic scheduling may find the package more extensive than they need.

Key features

Jobs, costs and stock

Quotes can move into scheduled jobs through a visual sales pipeline, with tasks, timesheets and purchase orders connected to live job costing. Advanced project reporting, plus progress billing and retainage tracking, makes the product relevant to contractors managing financial commitments across active work. Stock tools cover multiple locations, picking lists, work in progress, reorder alerts and Bills of Materials, extending its reach to light manufacturers as well as building firms.

Field work and compliance

The iOS and Android app supports timesheets, photos, signatures, expenses and RAMS sign-off, with AI receipt scanning to capture expense records. Those tools give field teams a way to send job information back into the wider workflow. The platform submits VAT, payroll RTI and CIS returns to HMRC and files statutory accounts to Companies House. DVLA fleet management integration and NEST pension auto-enrolment are also named.

The company says customer data is hosted in AWS London and encrypted in transit and at rest. Two-factor authentication is optional, and each business has a separate database. Its privacy policy says customer data is not sold or shared with advertisers, and analytics and monitoring tools activate only with explicit consent. These are useful assurances for firms handling payroll and financial records, although two-factor authentication is not on by default.

Pricing

The myJobManager plan costs £30.00 GBP per month, billed monthly, with prices excluding VAT. Businesses with 1–5 users pay £30 per user per month; from 6 users, the rate is £25 per user per month. All features are included, and the monthly contract can be cancelled at any time without a 12-month tie-in. The per-user model means costs rise with team size, even though the lower rate applies from the sixth user.

There is no free plan, but a free sandbox account can be set up without a payment card in about 30 seconds. No trial duration is stated, so firms should use the sandbox to assess fit without assuming a particular evaluation period. For businesses that need job management and compliance together, one all-feature plan avoids choosing between feature tiers; smaller firms needing only a narrow set of tools may pay for more scope than they use.

Platforms

myJobManager runs on the web and has Android and iOS apps. The mobile apps carry field tasks such as timesheets, photos and expense capture, while the web platform supports the wider job and business workflows.

Who it's for

The maker targets trades and field service contractors, light manufacturers and construction SMEs, typically firms with 5 to 50 staff. It is particularly well matched to UK businesses that need job costing and project controls alongside payroll, CIS and VAT filing. Firms outside that UK compliance context, or those seeking a simpler standalone job tracker, have less reason to choose its broad package.

The company is based in Newport, South Wales, and says its UK-based support team replies the same working day, Monday to Friday. Existing clients can contact support in-app or email their account manager, a practical option for businesses that need help with operational and compliance workflows.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Job management, live costing, payroll and statutory filing share one platform, which suits UK contractors wanting fewer disconnected systems.
• Pros: Progress billing, retainage and commitment tracking, subcontractor management and advanced reporting address financial controls that matter on active projects.
• Pros: Mobile support for RAMS sign-off, photos, signatures and expenses connects field activity to office workflows.
• Pros: Monthly cancellation without a 12-month tie-in and a no-card sandbox make it easier to evaluate than a long-term commitment.
• Cons: There is no free plan, and per-user pricing can add up as a team grows, even with the lower rate for six or more users.
• Cons: The product's breadth may be unnecessary for firms that need only basic scheduling or job tracking.
• Cons: The sandbox has no stated duration, so businesses cannot plan around a defined trial window.

Verdict

myJobManager is a strong choice for UK construction SMEs that want job costing and field workflows connected to payroll and statutory filing. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of project controls and UK compliance in one all-feature plan, backed by a flexible monthly contract. Look elsewhere if a free plan, a narrower job-tracking tool or a deployment and pricing model tailored to a different business need matters more.
