The Akroo story so far...
Are you working full-time on the tools and then feel you’re working as a part-time bookkeeper for your business at nights or weekends? Or maybe your partner is doing the books and it’s putting extra stress on your relationship. That’s why we built Akroo, to really lighten the load for tradies. Do you find it tough running a small trade or service business? You have the physical work and then there is the administrative side on top – booking jobs, estimating, chasing timesheets (or just trying to remember which jobs you’ve been on!), tracking materials and then the invoicing on top. Akroo handles all the annoying admin to keep you on the tools and earning as much as possible.
Making a change can seem difficult
but our approach is to truly support your business; we don’t believe in emailing support tickets or pressing number three for customer service. We are nimble and it’s all about getting you up and running as smoothly as possible. You might be starting out and doing a few jobs on weekends for friends and family. Or maybe you have ambitions to grow your crew and take on more work. The Akroo iPhone, Android and web apps are easy to pick up and have all been designed to save your time and maximise your bank balance.
Our Founders
Akroo has been put together by a small team led by Nathan Lucas a Chartered Accountant and Mansoor Ali who has worked on the back end of software for many years. We formed a close bond talking cricket and working together on timesheet and invoicing software over ten years ago. These systems were designed for large engineering and architecture companies and we both gained enormous experience and expertise in project accounting and reporting. Nathan watched a close mate struggle to put in and run software for his electrical business of six guys and thought there must be a better way.
After many years of graft the Akroo team have now put together a solution which we believe is the better way. We’ve pulled the integrity from those large office-based systems we worked with and have managed to compact them into agile smartphone apps. The apps aren’t flashy but they are all about getting the job done so you can take command of your trades or services business.
One thing we’ve also experienced over the years is that making a change can be difficult. But we’d love to work with you and your team to get you up and running with Akroo as quickly and smoothly as possible.
