A warm welcome from Claire and Lee.
Hello and thank you for visiting our website.
As business owners we totally understand the benefit of out sourcing the work we're not good at, and focusing on the work we are good at. Which is why Tradermate was set up to help support small to medium size businesses and sole traders look after their finances.
Between the two of us we have over 30 years of experience working in finance, management and the trade industry.
Claire, a CIMA chartered accountant and Lee a qualified bookkeeper met whilst working at Checkatrade.com.
Claire left her role as Head of Finance after the sale of the business to Homeserve having been at the company for 9 years.
Lee spent 5 and half years at the company helping to manage and train a team of 30+ in the rather large sales ledger department.
When away from work, we will often be found motor homing in the Dorset countryside, at the races or looking after our hives of bees.
Jargon Free and Simple.
We take away the hassle of “paper work” and focus on keeping you up to date with your numbers using our specialist knowledge of Xero's award winning cloud accounting software.
Bookkeeping is the fundamental element of your entire accounting function. Getting this right means we can deliver accurate management accounts on a monthly basis so you can see how your business is performing, who owes you money and how much you owe.
We keep it as simple as possible so you can get on with what you do best.

One Shot / One Opportunity.
Our call answering and chat box management ensures you never miss the chance to speak to new clients.
Stopping for lunch and seeing you have missed calls from unknown numbers is (what we have been told) one of the most frustration parts of managing a trade business.
If you're missing calls, or calling people back to be told they have found someone else then let's have a chat.
Write, Create, Post, Repeat.
Managing your social media channels is often the last thing you have time for.
Hands up, if you have created your Facebook Business account, invited all your friends and are now just about managing a post every 3 months.
You're not alone. Regular posts through social media let you reach a wider audience, send visitors to your website, show off your handy work and let people know your business is still trading.
If your social media needs a little TLC, give us a call.
