Free tools I built for business owners. No signup, no email needed, no sales call at the end. Each one takes a couple of minutes and gives you a real number about your own business.
InvoiceNow Deadline Checker
Every GST-registered business in Singapore has to send invoice data to IRAS through InvoiceNow. It is being phased in by turnover and finishes in April 2031 — and most owners do not know their date. Three questions and you will know yours, plus which grant you can claim and how long you actually have.
ERP & Automation ROI Calculator
The one to run before you sign anything. A system is not a monthly bill — it is an asset you will still be running in ten or fifteen years, and your accountant treats it as one. So this shows how long it takes to pay for itself, what it is worth at year 7, 10 and 15, what the amortisation does to your profit, and what happens if the project goes badly.
SME Systems Health Check
Ten questions, sixty seconds. Find out how much of your week your business is losing to manual work, get a score out of 20, and see exactly which processes are leaking. Built from the same patterns I write about every week: re-keyed orders, spreadsheet dependency, hero-person risk, and month-ends that drag.
Cost of Manual Work Calculator
Three inputs, one uncomfortable number: what the re-typing, checking and chasing actually costs you per year. Also shows how many full-time staff those hours add up to.
Month-End Close Cost Calculator
How much salary your close burns every year — and what the same close would cost if it took three days instead of fifteen.
ERP Readiness Scorecard
Before you sign anything: eight questions on data, process, ownership and time — the things that actually decide whether a system project works. The honest answer might be “not yet”.
Is My Accounting Software InvoiceNow-Ready?
IRAS publishes 203 accredited solution providers. Search yours and find out whether it already sends to IRAS through Peppol, whether it is still pending accreditation, or whether you need to change something before your deadline.
Free InvoiceNow Packages
Thirteen accredited providers offer a complete free-of-charge package to GST-registered businesses. Three of them expire on 31 March 2027. Compare what each one actually includes before you pay for anything.
InvoiceNow Grants: What You Can Actually Claim
S$1,000 if your turnover is under S$4m, S$5,000 above it, and up to S$25,000 through the Queen Bee route. The real amounts, who administers them, and when chasing a grant is not worth your time.
InvoiceNow Solution Providers vs Access Points
203 accredited solution providers, but only 47 Access Points. The difference decides who you actually need to talk to — and this is where most businesses waste their first month.
A new tool gets added here every month, each one built around a question business owners actually ask me. Next up: a stockout and overstock estimator, and a quote-to-cash leak finder. If there's a calculator or self-test you wish existed, reply to any of my emails and tell me — reader requests jump the queue.
Every tool here is free and stays free. If they’re useful, the best thank-you is a subscription — that’s where the weekly playbooks live.
