Is Afirmo right for tradies and trades businesses?

Yes. Trades businesses (electricians, plumbers, builders, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, roofers) are one of Afirmo's strongest fits.

Why it suits trades:

• Quick on-site invoicing from your phone
• Vehicle expenses, fuel, and tools categorised correctly with home office and vehicle allowances
• Stripe and bank reconciliation for fast customer payments
• GST returns prepared for you (most trades are GST-registered)
• Subcontractor payments handled in the expense flow
• NZ-based team familiar with the trades sector

What to flag on the call:

• If you have schedular tax requirements on subcontractors (common in construction)
• If you have multiple vehicles or a fleet
• If you run multiple trading names or branch locations
