Business Development Resources (BDR), the business coaching, training, and marketing authority for home services industry professionals, announces the launch of Sidekick by BDR. Designed specifically for contractor businesses, Sidekick provides AI-automated purchasing and invoicing tools that minimize the need for manual accounting activities, allowing business owners and team members to save time, reduce errors and increase profits. 

"When we talk with contractors, we often hear the same pain points articulated: strained cash flow, end-of-the-month accounting stress and the time sink required to handle so many repetitive accounting tasks," said Kim Archer, president of BDR. "Sidekick by BDR was designed specifically to address and alleviate these concerns, leveraging not just the power of AI but also proven workflows that have generated results for BDR's clients."

Designed for any home service companies that use QuickBooks Online or Intuit Enterprise Suite, Sidekick by BDR helps companies scale their financial and accounting activities. Specific benefits of the platform include:

• Time savings. For high-volume users, Sidekick's automated data entry may result in up to seven hours of time saved each week.
• Improved accuracy. The AI-powered platform also minimizes the number of human errors that come with manual data entry through a powerful three-way match.
• Accessible on multiple devices. Sidekick gives businesses the flexibility to generate purchase orders and invoices both from their computer as well as on the go from any mobile device.
• Enhanced visibility. Real-time spending and accounts payable metrics are readily available through prominent dashboards.

"The goal of Sidekick is to help contractors spend less time on accounting, more time completing jobs, guiding their teams and growing their business," said Archer. "With its ease of use and seamless Quickbooks integration, it's a platform built to help contractors hit the ground running."
