Expense and cost tracking
Log every expense with a receipt and tie it to the job, so your books and job costs stay clean.
Tradescraft captures costs by category with receipts attached and ties them to the job they belong to. GST treatment and payment method are recorded on every expense, so your books reconcile and you can see what a job really cost.
Every dollar out, on the right job
Fuel, materials, subbies, tools, fees - logged with the GST and tagged to a job, so your job costing is real and your spending is ready for the accountant.
Spending you can tie back to the work
Log what you spend against a category and, where it belongs, a job - so the true cost of a job includes its materials and subbies, not just the hours. GST is captured on every line and the running total sits up top, so the numbers your accountant needs are already there to sync to Xero.

Common questions
- Can I attach receipts?
- Yes. Each expense can carry its receipt, with the category, GST treatment and payment method recorded for clean reconciliation.
- Can I tie an expense to a job?
- Yes. Log a cost against the job it belongs to, so you can see what a job actually cost - materials, hire, subcontractors - not just what it billed.
- Does it capture GST on expenses?
- Each expense records its GST treatment and payment method, so your books reconcile and the right tax is accounted for.
- Do expenses flow through to my accounting?
- Expenses feed your job costing and reports, and keep their receipts for your accountant. To push a supplier cost into Xero, raise it as a bill or purchase order - those sync across as accounts-payable.
