One Place to Handle Invoices, Payments, and Taxes
DuroWork gives small contractors and home service businesses a simple way to handle invoicing, payments, and tax records in one platform.

Whether you run an HVAC company, plumbing crew, electrical shop, or any other field service business, DuroWork helps you get paid faster while keeping your books clean and tax-ready.

From Finished Job to Paid, Tax-Ready Invoice
Here’s how the DuroWork invoicing and tax workflow looks in a typical day for an HVAC or service contractor.
1. Build the Invoice in Seconds
After a job is complete, your tech selects the customer, chooses services from your pre-built list, adds any materials, and taps “Create Invoice.” Labor, materials, and trip charges are already priced correctly, so there’s no math on site.
2. Apply the Correct Sales Tax
Select the proper tax rate for the job location and mark which line items are taxable. DuroWork calculates tax automatically and stores those totals so you can easily see how much tax you’ve collected for your next filing period.
3. Send the Invoice and Collect Payment
Send a digital invoice by email or text, or accept a card payment on site through Stripe. The customer can pay on their phone while your tech is still there. Once payment is complete, DuroWork marks the invoice as paid and records the transaction details.
4. Reconcile Deposits with Bank Statement Tracking
As Stripe deposits hit your bank account, you can use DuroWork’s bank statement tracking to match deposits to the invoices they came from. This keeps your books clean and reduces time spent hunting down discrepancies.
5. Export Tax-Ready Reports
When it’s time to file sales tax or hand information to your accountant, export reports showing revenue, tax collected, and open invoices. Instead of piecing this together from different tools, everything is already in one place.
Why Tax-Aware Invoicing Matters
Many contractors treat invoicing and taxes as separate tasks. The tech sends an invoice, someone in the office records the payment, and later a bookkeeper tries to piece everything together for tax time. That’s where mistakes happen.
By keeping invoicing and tax tracking together inside DuroWork, you:
- Reduce the risk of under-reporting sales tax.
- Keep a clear audit trail of invoices, payments, and tax collected.
- Save hours each month preparing reports for your accountant or CPA.
- Spot late or unpaid invoices before they become bad debt.
Stripe Payments That Flow Straight into Your Books
Collecting payment is easier when it’s baked into your invoicing flow. DuroWork uses Stripe to process payments securely, while DuroWork keeps the records organized for your business.
Key benefits include:
- On-Site Card Payments: Let customers pay immediately while the tech is still at the job.
- Payment Links via Email or Text: Send a link and let the customer pay from their phone or computer.
- Automatic Payment Status: Invoices are marked as paid as soon as Stripe confirms the transaction.
- Deposit Matching: Use bank statement tracking to connect Stripe deposits to specific invoices.
Sales Tax Tracking Without the Spreadsheet
Instead of calculating sales tax in a spreadsheet or hoping your accounting software lines up with what actually happened in the field, DuroWork keeps everything tied to the original invoice.
- Set up commonly used tax rates by region or city.
- Mark which services or materials should be taxed.
- See total tax collected for any date range with a few clicks.
- Export summaries to share with your accountant or bookkeeper.
Reports Your Accountant Will Actually Like
At quarter-end or year-end, your accountant doesn’t want a stack of random invoices and screenshots. They want organized data. DuroWork gives you:
- Revenue reports broken down by date, customer, or service type.
- Sales tax totals that align with your invoices.
- Lists of open invoices and aged receivables.
- Exportable CSV or PDF reports you can email directly to your CPA.
Designed for HVAC and Home Service Contractors
While DuroWork can serve many types of field businesses, it’s especially helpful for trades like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services. These businesses usually:
- Do work on site and need to invoice immediately.
- Collect sales tax and need clean records.
- Have techs in the field who aren’t accountants or bookkeepers.
DuroWork keeps the experience simple for techs while quietly maintaining the detailed records you need behind the scenes.
