Does this sound like your business?

The working day ends.
The admin carries on.

You’ve done the work. There are still quotes to finish, receipts to sort, customers to update and numbers to piece together.

THE EVENING CATCH-UP

“I’ll do the paperwork later.”

Job details sit in messages, quotes need finishing and invoices are waiting to go out.

THE JOB MARGIN

“Did that job actually pay?”

Extra materials, another visit and small purchases make it harder to see what you earned.

THE BANK BALANCE

“How much of that can I use?”

The balance includes customer deposits and money you may need for costs or tax.

THE CONSTANT CHECKING

“Where did I put that?”

You’re looking for a receipt, checking a payment or sending the same paperwork again.

Tools2Done brings those records together so you can spend less time reconstructing the picture.

One connected place to run the business

See the work.
Follow the costs. Understand the result.

Everyday records become useful business information. Keep the details with the job, track its costs and payments, and use that information in your accounts.

KEEP ON TOP OF THE WORK

Know what needs doing next.

Keep customers, job details, quotes and dates together. The dashboard highlights overdue invoices, quotes awaiting a response and work that needs booking.

UNDERSTAND EACH JOB

See where the margin is going.

Allocate expenses and receipts to a job. Compare its forecast cost with actual spending, and see what is invoiced, paid and still outstanding.

UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS

Keep your accounts in view.

Review revenue, job costs, overheads and profit. See the work coming through and its forecast result alongside the work already completed.

PLAN WHAT YOU DO WITH THE MONEY

Know what needs keeping aside.

Review recorded cash, customer deposits, applicable tax reserves and your operating buffer before deciding what to spend or take out.

For example: you buy materials for a job.

Record the expense against that job and attach the receipt. The cost becomes part of its actual spending and the records behind your business accounts. You can see the purchase in context when you review the job’s result.

Seven days free. No card required.

From the individual job to the whole business

Make decisions with
your accounts in front of you.

See how completed work has performed, what your overheads cost and what future jobs are expected to contribute. Follow the supporting records when you need the detail, and give your accountant separate read-only access.

Your reports build from the records you enter. Keeping costs, invoices and payments up to date gives you a more useful picture.

A clearer answer to “what’s left?”

Understand the money
behind the bank balance.

See the customer deposits still held against jobs, the reserves you have configured and the cash buffer you want to leave in the business.

For limited companies, the Director Finance Centre also brings together your loan account, salary, dividends, tax pots and estimated withdrawal capacity.

Cash and withdrawal figures depend on your records and settings. Tax and withdrawal estimates are planning aids to review with your accountant.

What belongs to the work?

Track protected deposits by job and eligible material spending against them.

What needs setting aside?

See applicable tax reserves and your chosen operating buffer.

What does that leave?

Review the cash position and, for companies, estimated dividend capacity before taking money out.

Look organised. Keep customers informed.

Give your customers
a place to check in.

Their own portal brings together quotes, scheduled work, project photos, invoices and the documents you choose to share.

Customers can accept or decline a quote, check dates and review their balance. You keep the paperwork connected to the job and present it with your business identity.

Their job.
Their paperwork.
In one place.

Why Tools2Done exists

I wanted the work
and the numbers together.

I’m Jason. I run Wye Valley Home Services and built Tools2Done to manage my own jobs, customer paperwork, expenses and accounts.

I wanted to know what each job was costing, how the business was doing and what money needed keeping aside. Tools2Done brings those parts of running a trade business into one place.

The accounts, job-cost and customer tools described here are the features behind that approach. Try them with your own work and decide whether they help you.

Start small. See whether it helps.

Questions before you try it?

Here’s what to expect.

Will I need to set up every feature straight away?

No. Start with your customers, jobs, quotes and costs. Choose optional modules to suit your business. The reporting picture becomes more useful as you add and maintain the relevant records.

I already have an accountant. Where does this fit?

Tools2Done helps you manage the day-to-day work and maintain the records behind your accounts. You can give one accountant separate read-only access to relevant financial areas, and prepare an accountant pack with the supporting detail.

Can I use it as a sole trader or limited company?

Yes. The core business tools serve UK trade businesses. Director finance, dividend tools and Company Year End are for limited companies. Your business structure and selected modules determine which tools are relevant.

Will I be charged at the end of the trial?

No card is required to start. Your seven-day trial begins after email verification. If you do not subscribe, operational access pauses without automatically charging you.

Can I get my records out?

Yes. Download a browsable offline business archive with CSV records and supporting files such as receipts. You can also export key reports.

Are banking and online payments included automatically?

The app has banking and online invoice-payment tools. Live bank access depends on a supported connection being available and configured; online invoice payment requires Stripe configuration.

Does it replace tax advice or file returns for me?

Financial and withdrawal figures are planning estimates based on your records and settings. The current company year-end tools prepare reviews and an accounts preview; they do not submit to HMRC or Companies House. Live MTD Income Tax submission is not enabled, and workforce payment records are not an HMRC payroll filing service.

Can I manage more than one business?

One owner login can switch between separately subscribed businesses, each with its own records. Reduced additional-business pricing is available once the primary business is actively subscribed.
