From tradies who switched
"I used to wait until Sunday night to do my invoices in Xero. Now I send them from the job before I even pack up. I get paid on Monday instead of Friday."
Chris M.
Plumber, Brisbane
Previously: Xero (still uses for accounting)
"SMASH for the invoicing, Xero for the accountant. Best setup I've had. My bookkeeper loves it because everything is clean when it gets to her."
Tara B.
Electrician, Sydney
"Tried to use Xero on the job. On a phone it's painful. SMASH just works — I say what I did and it's done."

Where Xero is strong
Full accounting suite
Xero handles payroll, bank feeds, tax returns, and everything your accountant needs. If you run a complex business, Xero is excellent.
Ecosystem integrations
Connects to hundreds of third-party apps — point-of-sale, inventory, payroll, CRM. Great for established businesses with complex workflows.
Accountant-friendly
Your accountant almost certainly uses Xero already. It's the standard for collaborative accounting in Australia.
Where SMASH wins
Built for the job site
SMASH was designed to be used in one hand, standing next to a ute. Xero was designed to be used at a desk. For on-the-job invoicing, there's no comparison.
Voice beats typing
Talk for 30 seconds and your invoice is done. No menus, no fields, no keyboard. SMASH removes the friction that stops tradies invoicing on the spot.
No learning curve
SMASH learns your rates from your first few jobs. No chart of accounts, no setup, no training. Download and go.
Coming together
Xero integration is on the SMASH roadmap. Soon you'll be able to push invoices straight from SMASH into Xero — job site to accountant, seamlessly.
Export & integration
When the Xero integration launches, every invoice you create in SMASH will push automatically into your Xero account — line items, GST, client details, all of it. Your accountant gets the full picture, job by job, in real time. No re-entering data. No spreadsheets. No chasing receipts. Everything you've already invoiced in SMASH will be there waiting.
See it on the roadmapThe real cost of waiting
Every invoice you delay until you're back at a desk is money that takes longer to collect — and a job detail you're more likely to forget. Tradies who invoice on the spot get paid an average of 4 days faster.
