Trial 7 days
Bookkeeping starts on site, not at the end of the month
You already do most of what’s needed: agree on a price, receive an advance payment, buy materials, travel to the site and receive the final payment.
Payment before work starts
You need to see how much you’ve received, what’s still due and what to include in the final settlement.
Materials from different shops
Receipts quickly go missing, leaving you to track down expense amounts and VAT details later.
Tools and a work vehicle
Not every purchase is recorded the same way: some equipment becomes a fixed asset.
Employees and subcontractors
Invoices for outsourced services, payroll and payments need to stay separate and organised.
Several jobs at once
You need to see which client has paid, where a document is missing and what still needs to be completed.

Our recommendation for getting started
If you manage your own bookkeeping, start your first period with Premium.

I work with an accountant
You keep the context. Your accountant sees the organised data.
There’s no need to send receipts via WhatsApp, bank statements by email and invoice lists in a separate Excel file. Give your accountant access to the same system you use every day.
Give your accountant access to pats.lv.
Keep issuing invoices and photographing receipts yourself.
Your accountant sees documents, transactions and bank information in one place.
Transaction Check
helps spot discrepancies before closing the period.

Working together
Less time searching for documents. More time to review.
The sooner a receipt, invoice or payment enters the system, the less you’ll need to remember later about which job it belonged to and why the expense arose.
