From receipt to Monthly Pack.

  1. 01

    Snap it

    Photograph the receipt at the merchant counter, the hire desk or the fuel pump. On-device scanning reads the merchant, date and total.

  2. 02

    Check it

    Confirm what the scan captured. Anything unclear is marked Needs Review, so nothing slips through between jobs.

  3. 03

    Categorise it

    Tabulo suggests the category, down to cable and flex, equipment hire or fuel. Works and van cards stay separate.

  4. 04

    Done

    At month-end, export the Monthly Pack and send it to your accountant or bookkeeper.

This is what lands with your accountant.

One tap on Export Monthly Pack creates a single file with everything for the month. Below is the real layout, filled with a fictional trade business's July.

Built on Tabulo Marine. Made for the trades.

Tabulo Trader runs on the same engine as Tabulo Marine, now live on the App Store. It's rebuilt around the trades' own costs: materials, tools and equipment hire, vans and fuel, subcontractors and premises.

  • Builders
  • Joiners and carpenters

Before it launches

When is Tabulo Trader available?

It's in final testing now. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know as soon as it's on the App Store.

What will my accountant or bookkeeper receive?

One ZIP file: an Excel workbook with Expenses and Cash Float sheets, a Monthly Summary, Analytics, Cash Float and Validation reports as PDFs, and every receipt photo. You send it by Mail, Files, AirDrop or any app you like.

Does it handle returns and refunds?

Yes. Full and partial refunds are recorded as separate lines against the original purchase, so the totals show what you actually spent.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. Scanning, sorting and exporting all happen on your iPhone, in a basement, a new build or the middle of nowhere.

Where are my receipts stored?

On your device. Tabulo doesn't upload your receipts or exports anywhere; you decide where each export goes.

What is the best way for a tradesperson to keep receipts?

Photograph them at the counter, before they end up in the van door. Tabulo Trader reads each one, files it under trade categories such as materials, tool hire, fuel or subcontractors, and separates works and van cards. At month-end the whole month exports as one pack for your accountant or bookkeeper.

Does it work for my trade?

It covers around 45 trades, from electricians and plumbers to roofers, landscapers and mobile mechanics, each with its own category list. You can add your own categories on top.

Can I record refunds and returns?

Yes. Full and partial refunds sit on their own lines against the original purchase, so the monthly totals show what you actually spent rather than what you paid out at the counter.

Do I still need an accountant if I use Tabulo Trader?

Yes. Tabulo Trader organises your spending and produces the records an accountant works from — it does not file your accounts or give tax advice.

Tabulo Marine is available now. The same Monthly Pack, built for yacht crew and boat owners.
