Featuring insights from: Ben Hitchcock, Director of Operations and Technology
Manufacturing businesses rely on efficiency and accuracy to ensure they remain sustainable and profitable. Jobman Pty Ltd offers a modern web-based software solution for managing contacts and converting leads into quotes, jobs, and purchase orders—all the way through to invoicing and time tracking. By consolidating these tasks, Jobman helps factory owners streamline their entire production process.
Who is Jobman ?
Based in Perth, Western Australia, the Jobman team provides an end-to-end solution for manufacturers, with a particular focus on cabinet makers that employ anywhere from 5 to 50 people. Ben Hitchcock, Jobman’s Director of Operations and Technology, credits their success to a combination of robust software capabilities and close-knit teamwork.
The Challenge
As an expanding software company, Jobman relies heavily on the ability to manage its internal finances efficiently. Manually reconciling payments between Stripe and Xero, while ensuring the correct handling of GST and GST-free invoices, became a bottleneck.
“Our bookkeeper was having trouble figuring out which invoices included GST and which were GST-free. This made the month-end BAS process longer and more prone to errors.”
Enter SubSync by Finlert
To address these reconciliation headaches, Jobman turned to SubSync. The platform automated key parts of the reconciliation process, eliminating guesswork and significantly improving accuracy when filing taxes.
“SubSync completely automated the process, making our month-end BAS faster and more accurate. The bookkeeper no longer needs to guess which invoices are GST or GST-free, which has been fantastic.”
Impact on Daily Operations
For Jobman, the benefits were immediate, especially for the finance team. Tasks that used to be manual and tedious are now handled automatically, freeing them up to focus on analysis and strategy rather than data entry.
“It mostly affected the bookkeeper and me, but the impact has been huge for us both.”
Additionally, the enhanced reporting features—such as reconciling different products in Stripe against separate Xero accounts—have helped Jobman maintain more precise financial records.
“Reporting has been improved, especially with the recent SubSync changes that allow different products in Stripe to be reconciled against different accounts in Xero.”
Final Thoughts
Jobman’s story is a testament to the value of specialised software solutions like SubSync for growing organisations.
