Running a trade business means juggling receipts from half a dozen suppliers, quoting jobs on the hoof, and trying to work out whether a job actually made you money once the dust settles. Spreadsheets and shoeboxes of receipts quickly turn into a year-end headache, and the paperwork is the last thing you want to face after a long day on site.
LedgerSwiftly brings the back office into one place that travels with you. Snap a receipt and the app pulls the vendor, amount and tax for you. Turn tracked expenses into professional invoices and quotes, email them straight to your client, and convert an accepted quote into an invoice with one tap. Tie every receipt, invoice and quote to a property and client so you always know which job cost what, and watch your profit margin per job update as you go.
It works for electricians, plumbers, builders, landscapers, decorators and contractors of every kind, whether you run a single van or a team across several sites. Invite your foreman, apprentice or bookkeeper into a shared workspace, keep a team calendar of jobs and deadlines, and let the supplier price comparison tool show you where each material is cheapest. At year end, hand your accountant clean CSV and PDF reports, tax summaries and profit and loss statements, ready to go.
No accounting degree required, no spreadsheets, and no chasing attachments. LedgerSwiftly keeps the numbers tidy, so you can get back to the work that pays the bills.
Track parts from wholesalers like City Electrical Factors and Edmundson, bill materials and labour per job, and email professional invoices the moment a fix is finished. Tie every receipt to the property so each rewiring job shows its true profit.
Log merchant receipts from Plumbase and Wolseley, compare copper and fittings prices across suppliers, and quote bathroom work in minutes. Convert an accepted quote into an invoice with one tap when the job is done.
Manage multiple sites at once, each as its own property with its own budget and receipts. Reconcile bulk material buys across several invoices, share a team calendar of deliveries and deadlines, and hand your accountant clean profit and loss reports at year end.
Track plants, paving and hire equipment against each garden or grounds job, quote landscaping work with branded PDFs, and let clients accept online so you know where you stand before you break ground.
Log paint and supplies from Dulux Decorator Centres, keep a supplier directory that builds itself from your receipts, and send quotes for redecoration work that clients can view and accept from their phone.
Log maintenance, repair and refurbishment costs against each rental property, invoice tenants or contractors for work done, and see the profit and loss on every property in your portfolio at a glance. Reconcile contractor expenses across several invoices so nothing is double-counted.
LedgerSwiftly fits a lot more businesses than these. If you track receipts, send invoices or quotes, and want to see the profit on each job, it will work for you. These are just a few examples.
