Built for tradespeople.
Not accountants.
Invoicing, expenses and tax-ready exports for UK sole trader tradespeople. That's what TradeTally is.
Why we built this
Most accounting software is built for office teams, not plumbers in a van. You end up paying for payroll, multi-currency, stock and reports you'll never touch, just to send invoices and track expenses.
A lot of tradespeople pay for one tool to manage jobs and another to keep financial records. TradeTally does the core sole trader workflow in one place.
TradeTally does one job: invoices, expenses, receipts, and SA103F-ready figures for UK sole traders. No bloat. £12/month.
What it does
- Branded, PDF-ready invoices and quotes
- Expense tracking with receipt scanning
- SA103F-ready figures for Self Assessment
- Tax-ready records and SA103F exports for your accountant or compatible MTD software
- CIS deduction tracking for subcontractors
- Jobs to link quotes, invoices and expenses
- Time tracking
Who it's for
TradeTally is for UK sole trader tradespeople: plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators, gas engineers, handymen.
It suits people who work on site, not behind a desk. Raise an invoice in the van, snap a receipt before it gets lost, check who owes you from your phone.
It's not a good fit for: VAT-registered businesses with complex books, limited companies with employees, or anyone who needs payroll.

The person behind it
Founder & sole operator
Simon Holyland
Plasterer. Builder of TradeTally. Still on the tools.
TradeTally is built by Simon Holyland — a plasterer who still works the tools.
A few years back the invoicing and tax admin was the worst part of the week. Shoe-box receipts, a spreadsheet that never quite worked, and a tax return that always crept up on me. The software aimed at tradespeople felt like it was built for accountants in offices, not for someone finishing a ceiling at 4pm who needs to send an invoice from the van before the traffic gets bad.
So I built the tool I wanted: invoices you can raise on-site, receipts you snap before they get lost, and figures that line up with the SA103F at tax time. Everything is made around how a sole trader actually works — because that's still how I work.
TradeTally is a one-person, UK-based operation. There's no call centre and no account manager — just me, a van, and software that does the admin so you can get back to the job.
