Your messiest clients, your cleanest books.
Trame is simple enough that sole traders actually use it. Their invoices and expenses reach your FreeAgent as they work, with the CIS and VAT already right. Not on FreeAgent? Take a tax-year export for Xero or QuickBooks, receipts attached.
For bookkeepers and accountants with trades clients.
Syncedjust nowIt reaches your FreeAgent as they work.
Your client connects FreeAgent once. After that it crosses over on its own, so there is nothing to chase at year end and nothing to key in twice.
- Invoices as your client issues them, with the VAT
- CIS withheld against labour, not materials
- Deposits netted, so income is never double counted
- Payments marked off when the invoice is paid
Not on FreeAgent? Take the export.
Choose a tax year or one quarter. The export includes categorised invoices and expenses, with a header sheet, in the file your software already reads.
- Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent import files
- Choose a UK tax year or a single quarter
- Expenses categorised for CIS and SA103
- Deposit invoices netted, so income is never double counted

Your clients actually keep the records.
A busy sole trader will not always keep up with accounting software built for a bookkeeper. Trame gives them a simpler way to keep the records you need. They can send quotes and invoices, and log expenses as they work. So there are records to export when you need them.
- Simple enough that a sole trader actually keeps it up
- Expenses logged with a photo of the receipt
- Mileage and vehicle costs captured as they happen
- Less to reconstruct at year end
A simpler way for clients to keep records.
Your client uses Trame for quotes, invoices and expenses. It reaches your FreeAgent on its own, or you take an export for your accounting software. Either way you spend less time chasing records and entering them again.
They keep day-to-day records in Trame.
Day to day, your client quotes, invoices and logs expenses in an app made for tradespeople. It is simple enough that they keep it up, so the records are there when you need them.

- No bookkeeping knowledge needed on their side
- Records exist by the time they reach you
