The Story

Tradify was started in Auckland in 2010 by electrician Curtis Bailey, who was tired of drowning in paperwork after long days on the tools and built a simple app to help tradies spend less time on admin and more time earning. Today, Tradify is the #1 business management solution for trades across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK – helping tradies become as good at business as they are at their trade.

The Numbers

  • Team of 122 staff with offices in Auckland & London 

  • Supporting customers across NZ, Australia & the UK 

  • The highest-rated business management software built specifically for trades 

  • Now part of The Access Group

Plot Twist

People think they're an accounting tool – they're not! They're the system that runs the day-to-day operations of a trades business, handling everything from quoting and scheduling to job tracking, invoicing, and payments. Think of it like a helper app that keeps tradies organised so they can spend more time actually fixing, installing, and building things instead of doing admin.

The Good Stuff

They help tradies work smarter, save hours on admin, understand profitability, and get paid faster. Plus, as part of The Access Group, the whole team gets taken on "The Big Break" – a 4-day holiday together once a year. 

From one electrician's paperwork frustration to the easiest-to-use, most-loved app for tradies worldwide – these Auckland legends prove that the best solutions come from people who've lived the problem.
