Sound familiar?
The jobs that cost you twice.
You did the work. The paperwork is where the money leaks.
Friday invoice you forgot
Job finishes, you're shattered. By Monday the price is fuzzy. It's invoiced late, paid later.
Greggs bag of receipts
Faded, crumpled, half unreadable. HMRC doesn't care they went through the wash.
CIS guesswork
20% or 30%? Manually working it out, getting it wrong, and your accountant's fixing it in January.
Chasing on WhatsApp
"Just checking in..." Three weeks after you finished. Like you did something wrong.
Dayrates fixes all of this. In under 10 minutes a day.

Real reviews
What tradespeople say.
“I was using spreadsheets and WhatsApp to keep track of jobs. Dayrates lets me create quotes and invoices on site, track what's been paid and keep all my receipts in one place. It's saved me a lot of time every week and I no longer worry about missing paperwork at the end of the month.”
Scott Johnston · Self-employed electrician
“The CIS tracking was the main reason I signed up. I was constantly trying to work out deductions manually. Now everything is recorded in one place and my accountant gets what they need without me spending hours sorting receipts. Creating invoices takes not even a minute instead of half an hour.”
David · UK tradesperson
