Join other electricians giving it a go before launch.

Knock up a quote in seconds. We’ll even suggest line items and current prices, so you’re not guessing or undercharging.
Send tidy, professional invoices that take card payments online. We’ll log them automatically, remind late payers, and keep everything ready for your Self Assessment.
Link your bank and email so receipts and invoices are matched automatically. Your mileage, tools and fuel spend stay organised and ready for Making Tax Digital.
