About Hour Hero

HourHero started in a workvan, not a boardroom.

My dad is an electrician. And he’s the real deal — the kind of guy other electricians call when they’re stuck. He can wire anything, fix anything, figure anything out.

But when it came to paperwork? That’s where things got frustrating.

Hours were written down on scrap paper. Receipts ended up getting shoved into glove compartments. Profits felt like a guessing game. And after working long days in attics, crawlspaces, and job sites, the last thing he wanted to do was wrestle with spreadsheets without data.

The stress didn’t come from the work.

It came from not knowing where the money was going.

And that didn’t seem fair.

My dad always had a saying,

"A good tradesman is never a good businessman

and a good businessman is never a good tradesman"

Tradesmen shouldn’t lose sleep over bookkeeping.
They shouldn’t wonder if they undercharged.
They shouldn’t feel behind just because bookkeeping isn’t their strength.

So I built HourHero for him.

At first, HourHero was just an unnamed, homemade tool to track hours properly. Keep expenses organized. See job profitability clearly. No complicated accounting language. No corporate fluff. Just simple, practical tools that made sense.

But I quickly realized my dad isn’t the only one like this.

There are plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, contractors, and small crews everywhere who are masters of their craft — but get buried by the business side.

So I built HourHero for them too.
