Invoicing software for tradies who work on the job, not at a desk. Quote on site, invoice the moment the job is done, and keep track of the materials you use. GST and ABN are on every invoice, and it all works from your phone's browser.
Most accounting software is built around sitting at a desk at the end of the day, reconciling what happened. Tradie work doesn't happen that way — a job gets quoted on-site, materials get used off the van, and the invoice needs to go out before you've forgotten the details. BizFlare is built to work from wherever the job actually is.
Write up a quote on your phone while you're still on the job. Your customer gets a link to accept or decline online, with no account needed — create a quote your customer can accept online. Once they say yes and the job's finished, convert it to an invoice in one click — no re-typing labour, materials or GST. Every quote and invoice carries your ABN and GST breakdown automatically, so there's nothing to fix later. See how to invoice with GST and ABN in BizFlare.
If you carry materials stock — cable, fittings, parts — track the materials you use the same way as any other product. Each product has its own stock level, and every invoice line for a stocked item deducts it automatically, so you've got a running picture of what's actually left, not a guess based on the last time someone did a count.
Set a reorder point for the items you always run out of and low-stock alerts flag them early. Not sure where to set it? Work out your reorder point with the calculator. When you buy from wholesalers, you can also keep track of what you owe suppliers. Stock tracking is optional, so you can quote and invoice without it.
Regular maintenance work — a monthly service contract, a quarterly inspection — doesn't need a fresh invoice built from scratch each time. Set the schedule once, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, and BizFlare generates and sends each invoice. Your ABN, GST and branding carry through every time, and you can pause, edit or cancel whenever you need to. Set up recurring maintenance invoices.
Record each payment against its invoice as it comes in, in full or in part. Every invoice shows as paid, partial or overdue, so you can see at a glance who still owes you without going through old invoices one by one. You can also let customers see their own invoices and quotes by logging in to a portal, instead of emailing you to ask.
Every invoice shows your ABN and the GST is calculated for you (see what a valid tax invoice needs). Through the quarter, log expenses with the receipt attached — fuel, materials, tools — then run your GST summary at BAS time and hand it to your accountant or BAS agent. BizFlare does not lodge BAS.
