Boaz bids jobs, scans receipts, answers your calls, redesigns spaces, and watches your money — one AI app built for the trades.
It watches the margin on every job, flags the ones quietly bleeding money, and tells you exactly what to set aside — like a CFO living in your pocket.
Most contractors charge their hourly rate with no overhead or profit built in — and never see the money they're owed. Punch in your numbers:
Tap a feature to watch it on your phone. Nine tools, one connected system — from the first bid to the final invoice.
On the jobsite, the app moves at your speed — snap a photo, talk out an estimate, scan a receipt. Off the jobsite, your Dashboard is mission control for the business side. Same login, the right tools wherever you are.
Photo, voice & text estimates, receipt scanning, job photos, and quick invoicing — built to move at your pace while you're on site.
The money, the paperwork, the proof, and the pipeline — full-screen and in depth, for the business side you handle off the tools.
P&L, month/quarter/year reports, tax & Schedule-C / 1099 exports, proof-of-income, and AI debriefs on your numbers.
Proposals, invoices, e-signatures, and deposit & balance tracking — the paperwork, handled.
Owner dashboard — revenue, win rate & margin at a glance — plus the job pipeline board, AI coach, and planner.
Proposals e-signed with a legal record, invoices with a pay button, deposits & progress draws — clients see, sign & pay in one place.
The late-night quoting, the chasing, the paperwork — Boaz takes it off your plate, so you can be on the tools or home with your family.
Snap a photo and Boaz drafts a profitable bid in seconds — no more an hour at the kitchen table after dinner.
Money Co-pilot watches profit, cash and taxes from your connected bank — and flags what needs attention before it bites.
Turn a won bid into a branded invoice in one tap — deposits, progress draws, and reminders tracked, so you always know exactly what’s owed.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."— Colossians 3:23
This is the standard I'm held to. I promise to work earnestly and diligently for you — not for my own sake, but in service of a purpose deeper than my own understanding. Honesty, integrity, and excellence aren't features here. They're the foundation.
"Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."— Psalm 127:1
Every strong build starts with a stone set right. Boaz was a pillar of God's temple — "in him is strength" — and in Scripture, he was the businessman who made sure the worker was provided for and paid every measure he earned. That's the foundation we build your business on: strength that holds, and a fair shake for the hands that do the work.
Hi, I'm Ethan Ford — the founder of Boaz.
I was raised in San Diego, California — but really, I grew up on the job site. My father, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather all built their lives in the trades. My dad owns his own finished carpentry business, and from the time I was a kid I watched what honest, hard work actually looks like up close. Attention to detail. Showing up. Doing it right when no one's watching.
Those weren't things I taught myself — they were instilled in me, and I carry them today not by my own strength but by God's grace. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
I've seen the sacrifice and sweat my family poured into blue-collar work — and how often hard-working tradesmen never see every dollar they've truly earned. So I made it my mission to build software that exposes the leaks, wins back your time, and makes sure you get paid for every ounce of work you put in.
And I didn't build it in a vacuum. Every feature was shaped on real job sites — built, tested, and refined with working contractors, starting with my own family's carpentry business, on real bids and real jobs. So it fits how you actually work, not how some software company imagines you do.
It's just me — and that's on purpose. You're not passed off to a call center. You get one person who knows your business and stands behind the work personally.
