A real exchange — the way you already text.
Tell Amy the gross and the rate and she calculates the deduction and net, stores all three, and adds the contractor PO number to the invoice.
Every CIS invoice keeps the gross, deduction, net and PO together, so the subbie paperwork is straight when the contractor or HMRC asks.
Snap the Travis Perkins or Screwfix receipt, send it on WhatsApp, and Amy reads it, categorises it and files it as an expense.
Xero and QuickBooks are accounting software — the ledger your accountant works in. TradesOffice is the bit before that: it captures your invoices, expenses and mileage as you work, so there's something clean to hand over. Plenty of builders use TradesOffice and still have an accountant — we just make sure the records are already done. No app to download, no new number, £12.99 + VAT a month.
