We’ve upgraded the Duplicate Project feature to allow for a more complete "clone" of your existing projects. Previously, duplicating was limited to core details; now, you can replicate nearly every data point in your project with the click of a button.
What’s New?
When cloning a project, you’ll now see a checklist that allows you to choose exactly which data to carry over to the new project. This includes:
  • Deal Analysis:
    Comps, Flip/BRRRR Analyzers, and Repair Estimates.
  • Project Management:
    Full Schedulers, Task Lists, and Photo Logs.
  • Accounting:
    Budget vs. Actuals, Expense/Income Trackers, and Receipts.
  • Team Data:
    Project Updates and Notes.
Use Case: Creating Project Templates
While FlipperForce already offers templates for individual tools, this update allows you to create a Master Project Template for specific property types.
For example, you can set up a standardized master project for a "3-bed, 2-bath gut rehab." By cloning that project for a new lead, you automatically load your entire project workflow—including your specific Scope of Work (SOW), renovation schedules, and task lists—all at once. This eliminates the need to manually load separate templates into each individual tool, ensuring your new projects are ready for management in seconds.
How to use the new Duplicator:
  1. Navigate
    to your Projects Dashboard.
  2. Locate
    the project you wish to clone (or your designated "Master Template" project).
  3. Click
    the three-dot actions menu on the project card and select Duplicate.
  4. Configure
    your new project by checking the specific data points you want to carry over (e.g., Schedule, Task Manager, Rehab Estimate).
  5. Click the Duplicate Project button to generate your new, fully-configured project.

We’ve completely rebuilt our bulk importer from the ground up. It is no longer just a file uploader—it’s a universal translator for your financial data.
Why the New AI Importer is a Game-Changer:
  • No Templates Required:
    Forget the rigid CSV templates of the past. You can now drop in raw, unstructured CSVs or even PDF bank statements. No more reformatting columns to make your data "fit."
  • Complete Data Mapping:
    We’ve expanded beyond just dates and amounts. The AI now transcribes and maps Accounts, Companies, Categories, and Classes directly from your file.
  • Intelligent AI Categorization:
    Our AI reads your item descriptions and automatically maps them to the correct project category. It knows "Lumber" belongs in Framing and "Faucets" belong in Plumbing.
  • Automatic Transaction Grouping:
    To make reconciliation easy, expenses are grouped by Transaction ID. This ensures your digital records in FlipperForce perfectly match your physical receipts.
4 Ways to Import Your Data
To get the most accurate results, simply choose the source that matches your file:
  1. Retailer Purchase History (Home Depot & Lowe's)
    : Export your "Detailed Purchase History" from Pro Xtra and drop it in. The AI transcribes every single line item, assigning the vendor, category, and material class for you.
  2. Accounting Software (QuickBooks & Xero)
    : Export a project report from your accounting software. The AI maps that data into FlipperForce so your project-level tracking stays in sync with your high-level books.
  3. Bank or Credit Card Statements
    : Upload a monthly statement in PDF or CSV. The AI identifies the vendor, extracts the amount, and suggests the correct budget category.
  4. Miscellaneous Spreadsheets
    : Have a custom tracker or a messy Excel file? The AI scans the file and finds the relevant data regardless of your column order or headers.

Setting the AI Up for Success
While our AI is built to handle "messy" data, a little prep goes a long way:
  • Consistent Naming & Numbers:
    The AI uses "fuzzy matching" to link your file to your FlipperForce settings. If your file uses Company names or Account numbers (like the last 4 digits) that closely match what you have in FlipperForce, the AI can map them instantly. If the data is too vague or doesn't match, the AI will leave the field blank for you to review in the next step.
  • Eliminate Confusing Data:
    Some exports (like Home Depot) provide multiple columns for "Amount," "Tax," and "Total." Deleting these extra columns before you upload prevents the AI from getting "distracted" and ensures it pulls the correct final totals every time.
Verify with the Preview Window
Precision is critical for your lenders and partners. Our new Preview Window lets you verify results before they hit your books.
Using a stacked row layout, we display the Imported Data directly on top of the Original Data from your file. This makes it incredibly easy to spot-check for accuracy and make quick edits. Once verified, click Confirm and your expenses are imported and organized instantly.

Contact Manager

New Bulk Company Importer

We have added a new bulk import tool to the Companies & Contacts feature to help you get your business data into the platform faster. Instead of entering vendors one by one, you can now upload a list and let our AI handle the data entry.
How it Works
We have made the workflow simple so you can upload an unstructured list of your companies, and our AI will handle the formatting to ensure you have a smooth import.
  • Navigate to the Page:
    Go to Companies -> Companies - Bulk Import, or click this direct link: tools.flipperforce.com/companies/bulk-import.
  • Upload:
    Select any unstructured CSV or PDF document from your computer.
  • AI Extraction:
    Our AI automatically identifies and extracts the Company Name, Email, Phone, Address, License ID#, Tax ID#, and Notes.
  • Review & Save:
    Verify the results on-screen and click "Import" to populate your catalog.

Why it Matters
Importing your companies and contractors is the first step to streamlining your project workflow. Once they are in your Company catalog, you can immediately:
  • Assign Contractors to Schedules:
    Easily coordinate start and completion dates for renovation items.
  • Track Project Expenses:
    Tag specific vendors to expenses to see exactly how much you are paying each contractor.
Coming Soon:
Up next, we will be revamping our Expense Importer with a similar AI-powered workflow, making it even easier to bulk import and categorize your project costs.
We’ve rolled out a small, but impactful update to the way you categorize and track your project spending.
To streamline your data entry, we’ve replaced the standard selection menus with a new "Type-to-Search" dropdown system.
Untitled Project
What’s New?
When you are recording expenses or managing transactions, you’ll notice a more responsive experience in the Account, Company, and Project Category fields. This improvement is available both within the Create Transaction modal and directly inside the Expense Table.
  • Faster Filtering:
    Instead of scrolling through long lists, simply start typing. The menu will instantly narrow down options to help you find the right Account, Company or Category.
  • On-the-Fly Creation:
    If you’re entering an expense for a new Vendor or Account that isn't in your system yet, you can now add them directly from the dropdown menu without leaving your current screen.
  • Inline Editing:
    These searchable fields are embedded directly into the Expense Table, making bulk updates to your project accounting smoother and more intuitive.
This update is designed to reduce friction in your daily bookkeeping, keeping your data organized with less effort.

Accounting Reports

Expense Tracker

Enhanced Date Range Filters & Accounting Controls

Based on your feedback, we've rolled out new Date Range filters across the Expense Tracker and core Accounting Reports, giving you total control over how you view and manage your project spending.
🕒 New Date Range Picker
The Expense Tracker now features a versatile date range selector (shown above). Instantly filter your data by:
  • Quick Presets:
    Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, or Last 30 Days.
  • Period Views:
    Current Month/Year vs. Last Month/Year.
  • Custom Range:
    Total flexibility to select any specific window.
Date Filter on Expense Tracker
📊 Upgraded Accounting Report Filters
To streamline your reporting, we’ve integrated these filters into several key areas:
  • Expense Summary & Category Reports:
    Now include the Date Range filter.
  • Vendor & Invoice Reports:
    Added Date Range and Company filters.
  • Account Expense Report:
    Added Date Range, Account, and Company filters—plus a new Company column for better visibility.

Project Dashboards

Project Dashboard Performance Boost

We’ve refactored the Main Project Dashboards to significantly improve loading speeds.
As many of our users have scaled to hundreds (or even thousands) of projects, the dashboards were becoming slow due to the volume of data being processed. This update optimizes how that data is handled:
  • High-Volume Accounts:
    Users with hundreds of projects will see a major speed boost when navigating the dashboard.
  • Small Accounts:
    For accounts with only a few projects, the dashboard should now load instantaneously.
This update ensures FlipperForce remains fast and responsive, regardless of how many deals you are managing.
We’ve launched two new reports to make reconciling your FlipperForce data against your bank and credit card statements seamless.
Global Transaction Report
This report consolidates every transaction across your entire portfolio into a single master list. It is particularly useful if you use one business bank account or credit card to pay for expenses across multiple projects. By using the Account Filter, you can match your charges line-by-line against your bank statement without having to jump between individual project screens.
image
Project Transaction Report
This provides a high-level view of all financial activity for a single project. It is the quickest way to audit a specific project's health and ensure every expense is accounted for.
How It Works
You can find these new reports in two locations:
  • Global Transactions:
    Go to the Global Accounting Reports section.
  • Project Transactions:
    Go to the Accounting tab within any project and select Project Reports.
Both reports include filters at the top to help you drill down by Financial Account (Bank/Credit Card), Date Range, and Company.
Why Reconciliation Matters
Reconciliation is the only way to ensure your Final Profit Statement is 100% accurate. By matching FlipperForce expenses to your actual bank activity, you catch duplicate charges, identify missing receipts, and ensure your books are 100% accurate for tax season and business partners.

Task Manager

New Task Template Editor!

We have introduced a centralized area to manage and edit your Task List Templates. Previously, templates could only be edited by loading them into a project and resaving. Now, users can modify existing templates directly within the Workspace Settings.
What’s New:
  • Direct Template Editing
    : Modify task names, descriptions, and structures instantly within your Workspace Settings.
  • Subtasks Support:
    Templates now support our new Subtasks feature for multi-level checklist organization.
  • Multi-Template Loading:
    Save time by selecting and loading multiple templates into a project simultaneously.
  • Cleaner Workflows:
    Keep your library up-to-date and organized without repetitive "save-as" workarounds.
How to Get Started:
  1. Navigate to the Workspace Settings (the gear icon in the upper right corner).
  2. Click on Task List Templates.
  3. Select the template you want to rework, add your tasks or subtasks, and hit save.

Whether you're a Solo user or scaling a Team, this update ensures your Task workflows are as streamlined as your projects.
We’ve added a new Subtask feature to the Task Manager to help you organize granular project details without cluttering your main task list.
You can now create checklists within any individual task to manage smaller to-dos and "boots on the ground" details in one place.
How it works:
  • Add Subtasks:
    Within any task, look for the new Subtask option at the bottom. Simply click the "Add Subtask" button to build your checklist.
  • Reorder:
    Use the drag-and-drop handles to reorder your subtasks as needed.
  • Templates:
    Subtasks are automatically saved when you create or update a Task Template, so your checklists are ready to go for every new project.

From Feedback to Launch in 36 Hours
This feature is a direct result of a recent conversation with one of our users. They mentioned that their Task Manager was getting a bit too cluttered with minor details, so we got to work immediately. Our team was able to move from that initial feedback to a live, working feature in less than 36 hours.
We love collaborating with our community to build tools that solve real-world problems, so keep the feedback coming!
Reconciling receipts against your actual bank transactions can be a tedious manual process. We’ve introduced a new
Transaction Grouping
filter to the Expense Tracker to help you verify totals instantly and stay organized.
💳 Simplify Your Reconciliation
The new Transaction Grouping view bundles individual expense items under a single Transaction header. This allows you to:
  • Match Totals Instantly:
    Compare the "Total w/ Tax" for a group of expenses directly against your bank statement or receipt total.-
  • Reduce Clutter:
    Toggle between a bird's-eye view of transactions and a granular view of detailed expenses.
  • Audit Faster:
    Quickly verify that a multi-item transaction from a Vendor matches your actual out-of-pocket spend. Easily search
image
🔍 Search Transactions by Amount
To further speed up your workflow, we've optimized the Search feature. If you see a specific charge on your bank statement, you can now simply type that Transaction Amount into the search bar to instantly pull up the matching record in FlipperForce. No more scrolling through endless lists to find that one specific transaction.
Transaction Search
🛠️ Custom Grouping Options
While Transaction grouping is the primary use case, we’ve added several other "Group By" filters to give you total control over your data. You can now group your expenses by:
  • Month:
    See your spending trends over the life of the project.
  • Invoice #:
    Quickly pull up all costs associated with a specific billing reference.
  • Account:
    Reconcile spending across different credit cards or bank accounts.
  • Company:
    Track exactly how much you are paying specific contractors or vendors.
  • Category & Class:
    Analyze where your money is going (e.g., Demolition vs. Plumbing).

The Bottom Line
These updates are designed to turn a tedious bookkeeping chore into a quick, effortless task. By grouping your expenses and making them searchable by dollar amount, we’re helping you ensure your project accounting is 100% accurate and audit-ready.
