Software for people who work with their hands
We built TradeTally because invoicing and job costs should not eat the evening after a long day on site. You deserve tools that feel like part of the job—not a second career in finance.
What we kept hearing
Paper receipts in trucks. Invoices retyped from notes. No single place that said what was billed, what landed in the bank, and what the job actually cost. Generic accounting tools were either too heavy or skipped field workflows entirely.

Rough week, typical trade business
- Hours on quotes and re-keying line items
- Chasing payment without a clear status
- Margin guessed instead of measured
- Year-end scramble to reconstruct what happened
What we focused on
Fewer tools
Customers, invoices, quotes, and expenses live together.
Field-first flows
Fast capture so you can log and move on.
Plain language
No jargon wall between you and your numbers.
Exports
When someone else needs the file, you can send it.
What we are building
A calm place to run the business side of a trade: who owes what, what you spent, and whether the job was worth it. We ship improvements in small steps and care more about reliability than hype.
How we work
Respect your time
Short flows, obvious screens, no dark patterns to trap you in a plan you do not want.
Solve real jobs
We prioritize what shows up in support and on site—not feature bingo for a slide deck.
Iterate
Shipping beats perfection. We would rather fix the rough edge you report than wait for imaginary completeness.
Principles
Users first
If it confuses someone on a job site, we rethink it.
Data care
Security and privacy are defaults, not a marketing bullet afterthought.
Craft
Polish in the details: tables that line up, copy that sounds human.
Straight dealing
Pricing and limits in plain text. No fake countdowns.
