About Trade & Tally
Built by a developer, for people busy running a business.
I’m Owen. My background is in building business software and making messy systems easier to use. Trade & Tally is where I bring that experience to the practical problems smaller businesses face every day.
I’m not an accountant. For tax questions, I’ll point you towards HMRC and qualified advisers rather than pretend a calculator has every answer.
