Common questions
Can I track plant hire costs alongside my groundwork invoices?
Yes. Log plant hire as an expense against the job. TradeTally keeps labour income and costs clearly separated for your tax return.
Does TradeTally handle retention on groundwork contracts?
Create a main invoice and a separate retention invoice. Track both against the same customer with different due dates.
How do I invoice for day rate groundwork?
Add day rate as a line item, multiply by days worked, and send the invoice: simple and professional.
