One sole trader's week

A self-employed tradesperson finishes three jobs. On Sunday evening they open a spreadsheet, type out three invoices, check who still owes money, send two awkward reminders and try to remember what was quoted. It takes the evening.

None of those tasks needs judgement. They need doing on time, the same way each time.

The back-office jobs that automate well

Invoices. When a job is marked done, the invoice is drafted from the quote and sent for your approval or straight out.

Late payments. A polite reminder goes out on a schedule. A firmer one follows. You see who has replied and who has not, and you decide when a person should step in.

Copying details. The customer's name, address and job notes move from the enquiry to the diary to the invoice without being retyped.

The weekly report. A short summary lands in your inbox: enquiries in, quotes sent, jobs booked, invoices paid and outstanding.

What not to automate

Anything involving a dispute, a refund or a change of terms. Those want a person and a record of what was agreed.

Start where it hurts

Do not try to rebuild the office. Pick the task that eats the most time, get it working, then look at the next. If you only chase late payments better, that already changes the cash in the account.
