SmokoBooks for carpenters.
Quote it, build it, bill it. Books sorted at smoko.
SmokoBooks is a Windows app for Australian carpenters and joiners: itemised quotes for decks, pergolas and fit-outs, invoices that match them, materials logged as you buy them, and a clear picture of what you're owed and what's set aside for tax.

Built around how carpenters actually work.
Itemised quotes from your price list
Keep your rates and common materials in a price list and drop them into a quote in seconds.
Variations for the extras
Client added a step and a handrail? Issue a variation so it's quoted, agreed and billed.
Tool and asset register
Track the saws, nail guns and the ute, with warranty dates and the instant asset write-off flagged for your accountant.
Vehicle log
Log business trips against jobs for the cents-per-kilometre claim.

Questions carpenters ask
I'm a sole trader. Is it overkill?+
It's built for exactly that: one person, one ute, one set of books. Setup takes ten minutes and there's nothing to configure that you don't use.
Can I try it first?+
Yes. The Solo plan starts with a 14-day free trial; your key is emailed straight away and nothing is charged until the trial ends.
