Quotes and invoices
If you're writing dockets during the day and typing them up at nine at night, that stops. Quotes go out the same day they're asked for, and invoices raise themselves when the job's done.
We automate the tasks that take time out of your week and focus away from the what you set up the business to do. It runs on the accounts and tools you already have, no new sign ups, no complicated software, just what you have operating to its full potential.
Working with small businesses around the world.
Fifteen hours is what we took off the first business we did this for. Two working days, back.
What we do
We're not selling you a platform. We look at where your week actually goes, then build something that does that part without you.
If you're writing dockets during the day and typing them up at nine at night, that stops. Quotes go out the same day they're asked for, and invoices raise themselves when the job's done.
Reminders send themselves on a schedule you set, in wording you'd actually use. Payments match against the right job, so you can see what's owed without opening three things.
Whatever arrives by email, WhatsApp, phone or a notebook lands in one list, and posts into your accounts without anyone retyping it.
The questions you answer twenty times a week get answered automatically, in your voice. The ones that need a person get flagged for you.
If there's no system at all, we build the whole thing. A website, a way to book, a way to pay, an app if it earns its place, and the ads to bring people to it.
How it works
You'll deal with both of us the whole way through. There are only two of us, so there's nobody to hand you off to.
The call
Half an hour, no deck. What gets typed twice, what gets forgotten, and what only you know how to do. You leave with a straight answer and a price.
The build
Inside your own accounts, using the tools you already pay for. You approve how it behaves before it touches a real customer.
The switch
A screen share, as long as it takes, until you've run it yourself. Then we watch it for a fortnight and fix anything that misbehaves.
No new app, no new login, no monthly fee to us for software you can't see. Everything sits inside the accounts you already own and pay for, which means it keeps working whether or not we're still involved. If you already use one of these, we build on it.
Before you book
Some of the businesses that call us don't need anything built. They need one setting turned on, or one habit dropped. We'd rather say that on the first call than sell three weeks of work nobody needed.
It costs us the job. It's the reason people pass our number on.
Work
Two very different businesses, and roughly the size of what we take on.
Buon Forno · Food importer and exporter
Wholesale orders were coming in by email and going into a paper diary, then getting typed into the accounts a second time. We rebuilt the run so orders land in one place and post straight through, and invoices raise themselves on delivery. Nobody retypes an order now.
Make Your Mark · Personal trainer
Mark had no website, no booking system and no way to take a payment that didn't involve him. We built the lot: a site, his own app, workout scheduling, billing that runs itself, and the ad spend to bring people in. He got off the software he was renting and picked up new clients at the same time.
The team you are working with
.
Chartered Accountant, trained at Big Four accountancy firms. Grew up in a family business, which is where all this started — their processes were the first thing we automated.
Ran finance strategy and operations at ExpectAI in London, building AI that cut energy costs for small businesses. Now doing the same for the rest of the running costs.
Before you ask
Usually not. We build around what you already pay for. If something genuinely has to go we'll say so and show you the maths, and you can still say no.
No. Everything runs inside your own accounts, on tools you already own. There's nothing extra to open in the morning and no licence you're renting from us.
Some of it. Reading messages, drafting replies, pulling information out of documents — that's where AI earns its keep. The rest is plumbing between systems that should already be talking to each other. We'll tell you which is which, because one of them is a lot more predictable than the other.
No, it's usually the easiest kind of job. Plenty of the businesses we talk to are running on a docket book and a phone. There's nothing to migrate, so there's nothing to break.
Everything runs on accounts you own, and it's written down. Another developer can pick it up. You're not locked to us.
If a task is costing you under an hour a week, automating it usually isn't worth what it costs. We'll say so on the call.
We're based here and we'll come to you if you're local. Everything else works over a screen share, so where you are doesn't change the job.
Half an hour, no deck, no obligation. You'll get a straight answer on whether this is worth doing, including if it isn't.
