Accounting for cleaning businesses

Plain Accounts gives Australian cleaning businesses one place for invoices, supplier bills, GST, bank reconciliation and payroll, with a starter chart of accounts made for residential, commercial and specialist cleaning.

Five things that take your time, and how Plain helps

Recurring clients, recurring invoices

Weekly and fortnightly cleans mean the same invoice again and again. Save a recurring invoice template for each regular client and raise the next round of invoices from it in one step.

Knowing who owes you

Today shows money owed to you, how overdue it is and your top debtors, so you can chase the right people first.

Supplies and subcontractors

Code chemicals, consumables, equipment and subcontractor bills to their own accounts, so you can see what each part of the work costs.

Wages and super

Run pay runs with PAYG withholding and super, and payslips, in the same workspace.

GST and BAS

GST is coded on every invoice and bill, and Plain prepares your BAS figures from the ledger. You lodge them through your usual channel.
