Live Solution

Onboard a subcontractor once.

  1. Forms
  2. Databases
  3. Documents
  4. Time tracking

The overflow work arrives and you bring in a freelancer. Their agreement gets adapted from the last one, their rate lives in a message thread, and at month end nobody can say what the job cost against what it billed. Fill the form below and watch the paperwork and the rate land on the same record.

Contractor details

A live preview. Your details stay in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.

The payoff

Watch the paperwork build itself.

Fill the form and the details become a contractor agreement, plus a record on your contractor register.

Fill the form above to see it.

The agreement, the rate, and the hours share one record.

In Ascend the onboarding form writes to your contractor register, the agreement generates from that record, and the rate you set carries onto the hours logged against that work. Create a free workspace and run your own.

Run your own — free

Papered, rated, and billable in one pass.

The onboarding form writes to the contractor register, the agreement generates from that record, and the rate carries onto every hour they log.

1. They send their own details

Send the onboarding form link. Their trading name, contact details, and agreed rate arrive typed by them, which is the difference between a correct entity name and a guess.

2. The paperwork generates from the record

Generate the contractor agreement from the record, and attach the IP assignment template to the same database when you need both. The register shows who is papered and who is still outstanding.

3. Their hours land somewhere that bills

Set up a job for the subcontracted work at the agreed rate. Hours logged against it carry that rate, and the entries filter by job, client, and date range when you reconcile the month.

One workspace

The paperwork is the part that goes missing.

A signed agreement, an assigned IP clause, and an agreed rate are what protect the work you hand over. Keeping them on the contractor record means you can see at a glance who is papered before the next brief goes out.

  • The contractor types their own entity name and contact details.
  • The agreement generates from the contractor record you already hold.
  • The register shows who is papered and who is still outstanding.
  • A job holds the agreed rate, and the hours filter by job and client.

Paper the next contractor in one pass.

Open a free workspace, publish the onboarding form, and send the link with your next overflow brief.
