From the missed call to the money in the bank.

Lisa is the admin person you can't afford to hire. She texts back the calls you miss, books the work, sends the quote and the invoice, chases it, and tells you what to put aside for tax. You just tap approve.

The problem

Most of running a trade isn't the trade.

The calls you can't answer up a ladder. The invoices at 9pm. Chasing money you've already earned. Then the tax bill in January. It's a second job, and nobody pays you for it.

And the paperwork is growing. More than 864,000 sole traders and landlords are now in Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: digital records, and an update to HMRC every quarter. From April 2027 it reaches self-employed and property income over £30,000, and from April 2028 over £20,000. Source: HMRC, July 2026 Source: HMRC, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

Meet Lisa

One job, start to finish. Nobody types anything twice.

Lisa is an assistant in an app. Because she booked the job, she already knows the customer, the price and the date, so the invoice, the chasing and the tax take care of themselves.

    Missed call

    You're under a sink. Lisa texts back in seconds and asks what the job is, for a photo and the postcode.

Where other job apps stop

Most apps stop at “paid”. Lisa keeps going.

Getting paid isn't the end of the job. There's the tax on it, and the books at the year end. Lisa does those too, worked out by code to HMRC's rules, never guessed.

Tax put aside on every payment.

The moment a customer pays, she works out the income tax and National Insurance on it and tells you what to move to your tax pot.

A score for your business.

Out of 100, from your own jobs and invoices, with the one thing that would raise it most.

Books for your accountant, in one tap.

Every invoice, payment and cost, tidy and in one place, with a summary they can open on any phone.

One employee, not five apps

Instead of all this:

  • An app for quotes
  • Another for invoices
  • A diary on the fridge
  • A spreadsheet for the tax
  • A carrier bag of receipts for the accountant
  • And your evenings
Lisa

One app that does the work, not one more thing to learn.

You talk to her like a person: “invoice Mrs Patel £450 for the valve” as a voice note from the van. Because she took the booking, she already knows the customer, the price and the date. Nobody types anything twice.

You stay in charge

She does the admin. You make the calls.

Nothing's booked until you say so.

Lisa asks. You tap approve.

She says she's your assistant.

Customers know they're texting Lisa from your business.

Your customers need nothing.

Ordinary texts and links: quotes they can tick extras on, invoices they pay by card or bank, and their own page with everything on it. No app, no account.

Talk to her like a person.

A text or a voice note in the Lisa app. Nothing to learn.

Why we built Lisa

Built in Doncaster by people who run an accountancy practice, and watched tradespeople lose their evenings to paperwork.

Nobody we work with can afford to hire someone to answer the phone, do the invoices and keep the tax straight. So we built the someone.
