Built for sparkies, not accountants

Generic bookkeeping software doesn't know what a cable tray is. We do.

Trade-specific categories

Cable & Conduit, Switchgear, Test Equipment, Tools, Subcontractors — pre-loaded and ready. No more guessing.

Real-time GST estimate

Always know what you owe the ATO before the quarter ends. No surprises, no last-minute receipt hunts.

Every receipt, automatically organised

Every photo you send lands in your dashboard — supplier, total, GST, and category all extracted. No more end-of-quarter scramble.

Made in Brisbane

Built by people who understand QLD electricians, subbies, and what the ATO actually cares about.

Simple, honest pricing

No lock-in contracts. Cancel any time. Prices in AUD.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download an app?

No app required. Sparky Books works through your normal WhatsApp. If you can send a text message, you can use Sparky Books.

Is the GST data accurate enough to use for my BAS?

Our AI extraction is highly accurate for clear photos. We always recommend reviewing your data with your accountant or BAS agent before lodging.

What if my receipt photo isn't perfect?

We handle blurry, angled, and crumpled receipts reasonably well. If extraction fails, we'll tell you and let you retry or edit manually.

Can I also upload receipts from my computer?

Yes. The dashboard has an upload page where you can drag-and-drop or browse receipt images. WhatsApp is just the fastest way.

What about Xero or MYOB?

Xero and MYOB integrations are on the roadmap — they'll be part of Pro when it launches. For now, all your receipt data lives in the dashboard where you or your accountant can review it.

I'm not an electrician — can I use this?

The categories are optimised for electrical contractors, but any Australian tradesperson or sole trader can use it. The trade-specific categories can be ignored or mapped to your needs.
