Common questions
Can I send staged invoices for long building projects?
Yes. Create multiple invoices against the same customer and project, tracking each stage from foundations through to final fix.
How do I manage material receipts from builders merchants?
Photograph receipts on site with your phone. TradeTally stores them digitally and categorises the expense for your tax return.
Is TradeTally suitable for larger building firms?
TradeTally is built for sole traders and small firms. The Professional plan covers unlimited invoicing, expenses, and SA103F exports.
Can I create quotes and convert them to invoices?
Absolutely. Build a detailed quote with line items, send it to your customer, then convert it to an invoice with one tap when the work is agreed.
