For painters and decorators

SmokoBooks for painters.
Fast quotes, clean invoices, receipts that don't go missing.

SmokoBooks is a Windows app for Australian painting businesses: quote by room or by the job, send the invoice when the last coat is on, log the paint and sundries you bought that morning, and see what's owed and what's due at BAS time.
