Handyman Software for Jobs, Quotes & GST Invoicing

Handyman and property-maintenance businesses in Australia have a paperwork problem that's been getting worse, not better. You're scribbling quotes on the back of an old docket, texting photos of a rotten deck board to a customer, and then losing your evenings trying to match Xero invoices against bank deposits. Plenty of handymen pay $35/month for Xero, $49/month for ServiceM8 or Jobber, and still end up with a glovebox full of Bunnings receipts that never get logged. The result? You don't actually know how profitable each job was until your accountant tells you three months later — if they can even make sense of it.

OneBookPlus gives you one app for your entire handyman business. Build itemised quotes on your phone with labour, materials, and a call-out fee, with GST calculated automatically. When the customer accepts via the quote link, the job drops straight into your week view. Complete the work, snap before-and-after photos, and convert the quote to a GST-compliant invoice with one tap — all before you leave the property. Log your Bunnings and trade-supplier runs against the job with receipt photos so you can see your true margin on every single job. No more guessing, no more double-entry, no more Saturday mornings doing data entry.

Your Daily Workflow

It's 8am and your first job is a gutter clean with a couple of loose fence palings. You walk the property, check the customer's history (you re-hung their back door last spring), and build a quote: $180 for the gutters, $90 labour plus materials for the fence, GST included. The customer accepts immediately. You photograph the blocked gutters and the wobbly fence before you start. Two hours later you photograph the cleared gutters and the repaired palings, attach both to the job, and convert the quote to an invoice — sent before you're back in the ute. Your week view shows a flat-pack wardrobe assembly after lunch and a door re-hang tomorrow, both batched in the same suburb. At the end of the day you check your dashboard: three jobs completed, $640 invoiced, materials logged with receipt photos, and a recurring strata-maintenance job already scheduled for Friday.

Bank Feeds & Accounting

Connect your business bank account through our secure bank-feed integration and OneBookPlus pulls in transactions daily. When the gutter-clean customer pays via the invoice's Pay Now link, the payment is automatically matched against the outstanding invoice — no manual reconciliation needed. Materials purchases from Bunnings and trade suppliers are categorised as job expenses. Fuel, ute insurance, and tool purchases are classified into the right categories by our AI engine, which learns your spending patterns over time. Come BAS time, your GST summary is already prepared: total GST collected on invoices, total GST credits on purchases, and the net amount owing. Export it in one click or share it with your accountant. The days of sorting through a glovebox full of dockets are over.

Getting Started

Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Handyman” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with common handyman service categories, typical job types (gutter cleaning, flat-pack assembly, fence repairs, painting, minor carpentry), and invoice templates that show your ABN. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Jobber, or a spreadsheet. Connect your bank account through the secure bank-feed flow. Most handymen send their first quote within 20 minutes of signing up and have their bank feed running by the end of the day. Switching from ServiceM8 or Jobber plus Xero typically takes a single evening — and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
