Structally Help Center¶
Structally is double-entry accounting built for contractors: invoices and bills, banking and reconciliation, and financial statements, joined to construction job costing (jobs, budgets, commitments, change orders, progress billing, retainage, forecasts and work in progress). This Help Center shows you how to do each of those tasks, step by step, with real screens from the product.

About This Guide¶
Every instruction was checked against Structally 0.1.0 (build 1c874cce) on 2026-10-24, and every screenshot is a real screen of that build. The examples use Cedar Ridge Contracting, a fictional general contractor with three years of sample history; names, amounts and email addresses are invented.
