Questions from tradies and subcontractors

Compare plans
Is Bilbee built for a sole trader or a whole crew?

It's built for an Australian sole trader managing their own invoices, expenses and tax records. It isn't a job-dispatch, staff-rostering, payroll or inventory system.

Can I take a deposit before starting work?

Yes. Once a quote is accepted, raise a deposit invoice for a percentage of it. When you convert the quote later, the balance takes the linked deposit invoices into account.

Can I reuse prices for common jobs?

Yes. Save products and services in your catalogue and use them on quotes and invoices, so you don't have to re-enter the same descriptions and rates.

Which plan do I need?

Free includes five issued invoices a month, unlimited quotes, expense records, receipt uploads, bank CSV import and tax tools. Standard adds unlimited invoices, time tracking, automatic reminders and 10 receipt inbox reads a month. Pro adds unlimited receipt inbox reads, scheduled sends and optional recurring auto-send.

Does Bilbee lodge my BAS or TPAR?

No. Bilbee prepares records and worksheets for you to review. Where relevant, it can generate a TPAR from recorded contractor payments. You or your accountant still handle lodgement.

Do a different kind of work?

Less admin. More time for your business.

Add your business details, send an invoice, record an expense. The estimate does the rest.
