The Word and Excel way
One file for customers, another for invoices, quotes buried in email. GST on a calculator. Who's paid lives in your head. Someone asks about the Hamilton bathroom job and you start searching.
You don't need an accounting system to send an invoice.
Quote the job. Do the job. Invoice the job. Get paid. Keep the GST straight. Daybook does that and nothing else.
The ways people do it
The accounting software way
Built to run a whole set of books, and you use one screen of it. Another Sunday night to send three invoices.
The tax app way
Good for tax returns. Invoicing is one tab, and it isn't built around the job.
Daybook
Quote to invoice to paid. One job. Phone first, laptop too. GST worked out. Your customer opens a link. No account for them.
Left out on purpose
Payroll. Stock. A full ledger. Crew dispatch.
Test. Do I need more accounting software, or a faster way to quote, invoice and get paid?
