Section 1: Begin Registration & Choose Account Role

To start your registration process, open the TaskGenius Web Platform on desktop or launch the TaskGenius Mobile App on iOS or Android. On the main welcome screen, click Create Account or tap Sign Up.

Select the role that fits your account setup:

  • Administrator / Business Owner: Choose this option if you are establishing a new organization, configuring company billing, managing field crews, or viewing high-level Gantt timelines.
  • Field Worker / Contractor: Choose this option if an admin from an existing trade business has invited you to complete site logs, track labor time, or receive assigned dispatch cards.

Section 2: Complete Profile & Select Subscription Tier

Next, fill in your essential user profile information and configure your initial organization parameters:

  • Full Name & Work Email: Use your official company email address for automated notifications and invoice dispatching.
  • Mobile Phone Number: Used for SMS dispatch alerts, password recovery, and optional multi-factor authentication.
  • Business Trade & Company Name: Enter your trade specialty (e.g., General Contracting, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing) so TaskGenius auto-configures relevant default labor categories.
  • Subscription Plan & Seats: Choose between Free Tier (1-2 seats), Pro Tier (unlimited tasks, keyhole privacy), or Business Tier (full Gantt engine & custom exports).

Section 3: Verify Your Email & Activate Account

To prevent unauthorized account creation and safeguard project data, TaskGenius mandates instant email verification before workspace initialization.

Verification Checklist:Check your inbox for a message from noreply@taskgenius.app and click the secure verification button. The link expires in 24 hours.

Section 4: Log In & Complete Workspace Setup Wizard

With your email verified, return to the login screen, enter your credentials, and run through the 3-minute onboarding wizard:

  1. Upload Company Logo: Personalizes customer-facing invoice PDFs and client approval links.
  2. Configure Labor & Billing Rates: Set hourly site rates for standard shifts, overtime, and specialty trades.
  3. Invite Team Members & Contractors: Send email invitations with pre-configured role permissions (Admin, Manager, Field Worker, 1099 Contractor).
IRS Compliance & 1099 Keyhole Privacy Protection

TaskGenius automatically enforces strict data isolation for independent 1099 contractors. When onboarding contractors, keyhole access ensures they only see tasks explicitly assigned to them. Background GPS tracking is disabled by default for 1099 roles to ensure full compliance with IRS guidelines.

3Frequently Asked Questions
