Every Profitable Electrical Business Starts With The Estimate
TradieTally helps electricians estimate faster, quote with confidence, and protect profit before the job starts.
Built by electricians for electricians.
Watch
A quick word from Jayson
The problem
Most sparkies know the tools. Very few know the numbers.
Profit is won or lost before the job starts.
Your estimate isn't paperwork. It's the foundation of the job.
-
Underquote
A rough number, a tight margin, and a customer who walks away happy. Then you do the maths.
-
Miss labour
Quoting tools that don't actually understand how a sparky charges out an hour. So nobody does.
-
Miss scope
GPOs, sub-mains, RCDs. The schedule says one thing, the drawing says another, the price covers neither.
-
Guess pricing
Wholesaler prices moved six months ago. Your template didn't.
-
No margin handle
Markup isn't margin. Most sparkies don't know what gross profit they need on a job, let alone whether they hit it. A year of guesses adds up.
-
No call-out fee
The truck, the time, the diagnostics, all given away as a freebie. Every site visit costs you money before a job is even won.
-
Price on emotion
The customer pushes back on the number. You panic, you think you're about to lose the job, and drop the price before they've finished talking. The job still costs what it costs. The discount comes out of your pocket.
-
Free quotes
Hours of measuring, pricing and writing, half of which never convert. The jobs that do win end up carrying the cost of every quote that didn't.
The solution
Software that quotes the job. Training that teaches you why.
TradieTally is the software you quote in. The Academy is where you learn what to put in the boxes. Use one or both. They were built for each other.
Quotes that hold up to the maths
Labour rate, margin and materials handled the way an electrical estimator actually thinks.
A real charge-out rate
Your real charge-out rate, built from your cost-to-operate, not a guess.
Margin you can actually point to
Tiered margins by job type. Markup vs margin sorted automatically.
No more 'I'll fix it on the next one'
Variations logged the moment they happen. Nothing buried, nothing forgotten.
Looks like a serious business
Every quote out of your business looks like it came from a serious business.

Founder
An electrician who got sick of watching mates undercharge themselves into the ground.
Hi, I'm Jayson. I've been on the tools for 20+ years and run my own electrical business in Australia. In the early days of running the business I priced jobs the same way every other sparky does. A rough number, a tight margin, and a customer who walked away happy. Then I'd do the maths and wonder where the profit went.
Then one Sunday night, sitting at the kitchen table running through the numbers on a job I'd just finished, the lightbulb went on. The reason the profit kept disappearing wasn't more work or tougher customers. It was a system I'd never been taught.
So I built one and learnt it the hard way. Cost-to-operate. Labour rate. Margin tiers. Variations handled cleanly. Once it was locked in, the bank account caught up with the workload for the first time.
TradieTally is that system in software form. TradieTally Academy is the same system, taught to other sparkies. Built by electricians, for electricians. Not by a coach, not by a marketer, not by an accountant who's never run a job.
- 20+ years working sparky
- Runs an Australian electrical business
- Taught hundreds of sparkies the same system
- Founded the TradieTally app
1:1 Paid Sessions
Stuck on an estimate? Book a paid estimate help session.
Sometimes you don't need a whole course. You need a working sparky to look at the specific quote in front of you and call out what's missing.
Estimate Help Sessions are paid 1:1 sessions where Jayson works through your actual estimate with you. No mindset talk. No coaching. Just a second pair of trained eyes on a real job.
What this is not: not coaching. Not mentoring. Not generic business advice.

"I was undercharging by about $30 an hour and didn't know it. Two weeks after the course I rebuilt my labour rate and my last 4 quotes have all been at proper margin. Felt weird at first. Now it just feels right."
Rebuilt labour rate · +$30/hr -
"Honestly the first estimating training I've done that didn't feel like it was written for accountants. Bloody practical. The module on markup vs margin alone is worth the price."
Margin lift on 8 of last 10 quotes -
"Started using TradieTally and the Academy course at the same time. Quoting time is down to about a third. Won two commercial jobs back to back at the new margin and both were happy with the price."
Quoting time down 60% · 2 commercial wins -
"I run the office for my partner's electrical business. The Masterclass gave us a proper estimating standard so I can quote small jobs without bothering him. Game changer for us."
Owner free of small quotes -
"20 years on the tools and I still picked up four things I'd been doing wrong. The Australian framing is what makes the difference. Every other course I'd seen was American."
Fixed long-standing labour rate gap -
"I did the workshop on a whim. Bought the flagship course the next day. Wish I'd done this 5 years ago. Would have saved me a small fortune."

Common questions
Honest answers
If something isn't here, drop us a line at info@tradietallyacademy.com.au.
Who is TradieTally Academy for?
It's for Australian electricians and electrical contractors who want to stop undercharging, quote faster, and run a profitable business. Whether you're a first-year owner or a 20-year sparky, the system is the same. And it works.
I've been quoting for years. Will I learn anything new?
Yes. Most experienced sparkies are surprised by how much margin they've been leaving on the table, usually in labour rate, markup vs margin confusion, or unpriced variations. The Masterclass is specifically built for established businesses that want to tighten the system.
Do I need TradieTally to do the courses?
No. The courses teach the estimating method first. It works in a spreadsheet too. Most sparkies move onto TradieTally because it makes the system 5x faster, but you can use what you learn anywhere.
Is this in-person or online?
All courses are online and self-paced so you can fit them around real work. The Masterclass adds live monthly cohort sessions, and we run live face-to-face workshops in different states across the year.
How is this different from coaching?
We're not a coaching business. TradieTally Academy is a structured training platform. You get the system, the templates, and the software to run it. No vague calls. No mindset modules. Just the practical estimating system Australian electricians use.
How does it work with the TradieTally app?
The Academy teaches the method. The app gives you the software to run it faster. They're built to work together. Every Academy course shows you how to apply the system inside TradieTally so the workflow is one continuous loop.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
If you complete the first two modules of any paid course and don't think it's worth the cost, email us within 30 days for a refund. Practical fix-or-refund. No debate.
How do I get started?
Book a free strategy call to chat through your situation, or jump straight into the 1-hour workshop. Both are good first steps depending on how you like to learn.
