Carpenters

Bookkeeping for self-employed carpenters — sorted over WhatsApp.

Timber, sheet materials, fixings and blades recorded the moment you buy them, so sawdust is the only thing left on the receipts.

First fix, second fix, bespoke work — whatever you’re on, the buying never stops: timber and sheet goods, fixings by the box, blades and bits that wear out mid-job. SubReady records each purchase from a photo or a one-line WhatsApp message, and keeps your income side just as tidy.

Made for the chippie’s week

Materials

Timber & sheet goods

CLS, ply, MDF, skirting, door sets — snap the merchant receipt and it’s filed as materials.

Fixings

Fixings & consumables

Screws, glue, blades, abrasives — the small stuff adds up, so it all gets captured.

Tools

Tools & kit

Track saws, routers, replacement batteries — photographed once, recorded properly.

Van

Van & fuel

Fuel typed at the pump, parking and van costs — recorded in seconds between jobs.

Income

Jobs & invoicing

Record payments as they arrive and raise invoices straight from the chat.

Bank

Statement upload

A monthly bank statement PDF upload keeps everything squared — SubReady never connects to your bank.

If you work under CIS

Subbing to builders or main contractors often means Construction Industry Scheme deductions. Send SubReady each deduction statement and the gross, deducted and net figures are recorded and totalled for year-end. Working directly for clients instead? CIS stays out of your way.

Come year-end, invite your accountant by email: they get read-only access and a one-click export pack, and you can revoke it whenever you like.
