For subcontractors

Bookkeeping for subcontractors, without the paperwork.

Whether you’re on site, on the road or at a desk — construction, IT, consulting or services — SubReady keeps your records straight from a WhatsApp chat.

Subcontracting means you’re the whole business: the work, the invoicing, the receipts, the records. SubReady takes the record-keeping part off your plate. Send receipts, expenses and income over WhatsApp as they happen, and everything is organised for you — ready for your accountant and for Making Tax Digital.

What you get

Receipts

Receipt capture

Photograph receipts the moment you get them. They’re read, categorised and saved automatically.

Expenses

Expenses by message

Type what you spent — “£30 fuel” — and it’s recorded with an instant confirmation.

Income

Income & invoices

Record payments as they land and create invoices straight from a WhatsApp message.

Bank

Bank statement upload

Upload a statement PDF each month and SubReady reads the transactions. It never connects to your bank.

Accountant

Accountant-ready records

Invite your accountant for read-only access and a one-click export pack — revoke any time.

MTD

MTD preparation

Digital records and quarterly figures, kept ready as Making Tax Digital rolls out. More on MTD.

Not just construction

Plenty of subcontractors never set foot on a building site. SubReady works the same whether your receipts come from a builders’ merchant or an app store:

Construction trades — materials, fuel and tools, with CIS deduction tracking where the scheme applies.
IT contractors — software subscriptions, equipment and client invoicing.
Consultants — client income, travel and professional expenses.
Independent professionals — designers, marketers, trainers, advisers and other freelancers.

If you work under the Construction Industry Scheme, SubReady tracks your deductions and statements too. If you don’t, CIS simply stays out of your way.
