Most business owners know they're spending too much time on admin. Very few know what that time is worth in dollars, per year, against what other businesses their size are dealing with.

Calculate Your Admin CostFree. Takes about two minutes.
Manual admin hours
What your team's time on admin tasks is actually worth at your rate and how you compare to the Australian average.
Leads not converting
Revenue walking out the door because follow-up is slow, inconsistent or missing entirely.
Time lost re-entering information
What it costs when your tools don't talk to each other and someone has to do it manually.
Quoting and proposal time
The hidden hourly cost of producing quotes the same way, every time, from scratch.
Most small business owners we talk to are genuinely good at what they do, they've just hit a point where the business has grown faster than the systems holding it together. The good news is this stuff is fixable.
Someone gets in touch, you mean to follow up, then a busy day gets in the way and the moment's gone. This is a system that doesn't keep up with you.
Invoicing, follow-ups, updating spreadsheets, it waits until the family is asleep. You built this business for more freedom, not less. Something needs to change.
The team can't move without asking you first. Nothing is written down. If you step away, things slip. You're the glue — and it's exhausting.
We look at where time is being lost, where things are getting missed, and where the business is relying too much on one person. Then we make it simpler, clearer and easier to run.
Making sure every enquiry gets a response automatically, at the right time — so nothing slips through while you're busy doing the actual work.
Connecting your CRM, booking system, email and accounting software so you stop entering the same information in three different places.
The tasks you do the same way every time... you know the ones - reminders, scheduling, data entry. We find them and take them off your plate.
Creating simple processes and documentation so your team can get on with things without having to ask you every time.
Not a lecture on ChatGPT but a practical look at which parts of your day could genuinely be handed to AI so you can stay focused on the work only you can do.
Sometimes it's not one big thing — it's ten small things adding friction every day. We map the picture and fix what's slowing you down.
We know you're time-poor. So we've made this as easy as we possibly can — no lengthy onboarding, no jargon, no homework for you to do before we get started.
We spend 20 minutes understanding where your team is spending time and where the biggest bottlenecks are. You tell us what's eating your week. We ask a few questions and by the end of the call we'll tell you honestly what we think your biggest opportunity is.
If it feels like a good fit, we'll pinpoint the highest-value opportunity to recover time and improve efficiency. It's specific to your business, explained in plain language, and designed around what will make the biggest difference to your week.
We do the heavy lifting: setting things up, connecting the tools, testing everything. If there's a clear fit, we implement the agreed solution and help your team adopt it. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
I started TradeBetter with my wife Deborah because between us, we've spent decades working in and around businesses of all sizes — from small owner-led operations to larger companies and everything in between.
We've seen the systems that make businesses hum. We've also seen what it looks like when there are no systems at all, and how much that costs the people running them in time, stress and the stuff that actually matters outside of work.
We're also parents to three young kids, so we understand how much a few saved hours a week can change things.
Tell us how your week runs. We'll listen, ask a few questions, and share honestly what we think would help. 20 minutes. Practical advice. Clear next steps.

Now, back to those evenings.
These aren't unusual problems. They're the same things slowing down most small businesses at this stage of growth and they're all fixable.
Customer information entered into multiple systems
New client, new job, new invoice — typed into three different places by hand.
Inboxes being used as task managers
Things get actioned, forgotten or buried. Nothing has a clear owner or a deadline.
Manual follow-up processes
Chasing clients, sending reminders, checking in on quotes — all done by memory.
Reporting that takes hours every week
Numbers pulled from different places, formatted manually, sent to the same people every time.
Processes that rely on memory instead of systems
If you stepped away tomorrow, nobody would know how half the business actually runs.
Workflows that break when the owner is away
The business runs fine — until it doesn't, because everything still runs through you.
