Features

Everything between “job done” and money in the bank.

Tally covers the money side of a small creative business: quoting, invoicing, getting paid, logging what you spend and keeping books that make sense at tax time.

A tour of the four parts.

Quote it, invoice it, get paid.

Accepted quotes turn into invoices in one click. Clients pay by card, Apple Pay or SEPA transfer from a link on the invoice, and reminders go out without you.

  • Quotes with e-signature and an expiry date
  • Recurring invoices for retainers, with deposits and part payments
  • Euro, sterling and US dollar invoices; reverse-charge wording added for EU clients
  • Reminder schedules per client, written in your own words

Receipts that file themselves.

Photograph a receipt, forward an emailed bill to your Tally address, or let the bank feed spot it. Tally reads the supplier, date, total and VAT for you to check.

  • Receipt capture in the mobile app and by email
  • Mileage log with the rates you set
  • Rebill expenses to a client with or without a mark-up
  • Team members submit, owners approve (Studio and Practice)

Reports you can actually read.

Profit and loss, ageing, VAT summaries on the cash or invoice basis, and exports your accountant can import. Tally prepares the figures; you or your accountant file them.

  • VAT summary per period, with the figures for each box
  • A rough tax set-aside so year-end isn’t a shock
  • CSV and PDF exports, plus a year-end pack for your accountant

Tally is bookkeeping software, not a tax adviser. Estimates are a guide only.
