Meet Daymo the Tradie
Daymo’s accounting admin was cutting into time with his wife and kids
Daymo runs his own carpentry business and employs a few fellow tradies to work with him on building projects. He is doing quite well, however to keep his business successful he often slaves away after hours on the kitchen table. His family playing second fiddle to bookkeeping. Daymo finds himself toiling through the night to get the books done and he endlessly shuffles his confusing pile of receipts and invoices. With his wife Helen and kids becoming a little tested by his long hours, Daymo needed an accounting solution to keep his family happy, have more time to relax in the evening and keep his business humming at the same time.
Perpetually baffled by endless acronyms like STP and BAS, Daymo was looking for a simple, automated way to ditch the paperwork, run his business smoothly and keep his family happy. Daymo decided he needed accounting software for tradies and decided to start a free trial to see how it went. With Reckon One now taking care of his business compliance, he no longer stays up all night. His PAYG is taken care of and it doesn’t really matter if he forgets what GST is. He can pay his employees from anywhere with online payroll software and invoicing takes a matter of seconds. Most importantly, he now gets to spend his evenings as he wants – eating dinner with his wife and watching Netflix with the kids. Watch the video >

Meet Benny the Physio
Benny’s passion for travel meant he needed the ability to manage his business on the go
Benny is a young, single and carefree sports therapist who now owns and runs his pride and joy – a physiotherapy clinic. With a passion for yoga, meditation, rock climbing and travel, Benny is worried about one thing in particular – freedom! With the responsibilities of staff, compliance, invoicing and STP reporting, Benny’s excel spreadsheet and meagre financial know-how began to show their limitations.

Picking it up easily, he now manages to balance his active lifestyle with his business responsibilities.
