Invoicing, expenses, and SA103F tax exports built for UK tra

May 31, 2026 Built it because I needed it — TradeTally for UK tradespeople

I'm a plasterer. And I was a mess with my books.

Receipts stuffed in a toolbox, invoices written on scrap paper, no clue who'd paid me and who hadn't. Every January I'd spend a weekend hunched over a spreadsheet trying to make sense of it all, dreading the Self Assessment deadline.

I tried the obvious stuff. Xero, QuickBooks, FreshBooks. They're powerful, yeah. But they're built for accountants, not for someone who wants to spend the day on the tools. Cost a fortune and I needed a YouTube tutorial just to send an invoice.

So I built TradeTally.

It does three things, and does them well:

1. Invoices - send one from your phone in 30 seconds. Professional, VAT-ready, with payment tracking.

2. Receipts - snap a photo, throw the paper away. Mileage tracking too.

3. Tax - come January, your SA103F is practically done.

No accounting jargon, no hidden fees. One flat price. 14-day free trial, no card needed.

It's early days - just me building this - but it already handles invoices, expenses and tax prep for UK sole traders. If you're a sparky, plumber, plasterer, builder, or any kind of trade and your current "system" is a shoebox, give it a try.

Would love any feedback from the IH community.

I'm a tradesman myself and I couldn't keep my own books straight. Receipts everywhere, no idea who'd paid me, dreading Self Assessment every year. I tried the big apps — Xero, QuickBooks — and they were confusing
