For electricians and small contractors in New Zealand
Materials in, job out, paid or still chasing.
Say it from the van. What you bought, what you invoiced, and who has not paid yet — without a glovebox full of receipts.
Materials bought at three trade counters in a week, jobs invoiced later from memory, and receipts that never match what went on which job.
Three messages, and the ledger they write
These are messages you could send today. Underneath each one is exactly what LedgerChat posts — the real accounts, the real directions. Every entry has two sides, and both sides balance.
Materials on account, against the supplier who is owed.
| Account | Debit | Credit |

| Purchases | $530 | |
| Mitre 10 Trade (supplier) | $530 |
The work invoiced, the day it is finished.
| Account | Debit | Credit |

| Sales | $1,550 |
Settled. That customer’s balance returns to zero.

Questions electricians and small contractors ask
- Can I do this with dirty hands?
- Send a voice note. It is transcribed and turned into an entry you confirm with one tap.
- Does it track what I owe the wholesaler?
- Yes. Buying on account credits the supplier; paying them debits it. The balance is always current.
- What about materials for a specific job?
- Record them as you buy them. The month shows what went out against what came in, which is the number that matters.
