For builders
Builders juggle long jobs with stages, variations and subbies. The right app keeps quotes, variations and progress claims tied to each job so nothing gets missed at invoice time.
What to look for
In Australia
In Australia MYOB is still widely used alongside Xero. GST is 10%, and payroll needs Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting to the ATO.
