It’s likely that garden maintenance could be seen as seasonal, especially in the UK where climates are so variable.
But with most seasonal gardening work, whether it’s a lawn mowing service or lawn care service that’s being offered, when the sun is shining, the gardener is stretched to capacity and managing the admin tasks of the business often gets overlooked.
For patio designers and hedge cutters alike, this is exactly why Pocket PA was created. It was designed specifically for any busy self-employed micro business owner who is fantastic at what they do but just doesn’t have spare time to waste doing all the boring admin tasks that are required to run a profitable and thriving business.
This powerful business tool is web-based and can be accessed on your phone, tablet or computer come rain or shine. It’s incredibly easy to use and starts with a beautifully colour-coded diary to show you exactly where you are each day to keep your time management on point.
All of your clients will be stored in this perfect app for professional gardeners and a full list of all the services and prices you offer means you can clearly see how profitable and productive each one is.
This structured one-stop solution to running your business on the go means you don’t have to use multiple apps and feel overwhelmed and disorganised with your business tasks.
Getting organised and on top of both your appointments and your money is simple with Pocket PA as it's easy to use and you won't need a maths degree.
The app also has a Directions button to help you get quickly between your clients homes and the automated business mileage tracker lets you reclaim this expense by directly logging it into your expenses area for your accountant to increase your allowable profits.
1-click visual dials show you exactly what you are earning every week, month or year based on the bookings in your diary.
This helps you to understand your finances and it’s coupled with and easy to use business expense tracker. This lets you snap, sort and store all your business receipts in one place on the cloud so they can be accessed 24/7.
Once you have entered in all your payments and recorded any business expenses, Pocket PA will tell you what your profit is going to be so you can always understand the financial health of your business.
Your clients will love your talents in weed-control but your accountant will love you even more when you send them your income and expenses each year!
When you use Pocket PA, everything gets tracked as you go along as you input the info, and you won’t be left with a huge shoe box or carrier bag, bulging full of old receipts and grass cuttings for him to look through!
All your money info is stored and you can automate it to be sent to your inbox each week, month or year in a spreadsheet so you always know where it is when you need it.
Seeing who still owes you money is vital when you are busy out and about, and with Pocket PA there is a single red button to press, to show you exactly the jobs which have been completed but not yet paid for.
And we know that getting paid faster is always a priority in any micro business, and the app is perfect for this because it allows you the option to take a card payment - no card reader needed.
Or you can send personalised invoices at the touch of a button. Clients can then make the payment online directly to your account and this will automatically get tracked onto your income dial.
So, come rain or shine, this app is the perfect companion for any busy gardener who loves their annuals and perennials but not their work admin.
