How to use OG Job Book

OG Job Book is a focused ledger for a small Australian trade or inspection business. It follows one straightforward path — job → quote → invoice → record payment — and the ABN checksum and GST maths sit right there on the document itself, not tucked away in a settings page. It isn’t tax advice, and it doesn’t lodge anything with the ATO.

Step by step

1. 1

   Open the books

   Create an account on the sign-up page — that starts a free 24-hour trial on your own ledger. One new trial per browser or network every 24 hours. Sign in afterwards to open books you already made.

2. 2

   Start from a sample, or set up your own organisation

   Fill sample books drops a fictional inspection ledger onto your account only — it never touches anyone else’s organisation. Prefer your own details? Pick a template on the organisation form, then save with a business name, address, and ABN. Turn GST registered off and quotes and invoices stop charging GST.

3. 3

   Create a job

   A job needs a description, plus either an existing customer or a new name and suburb. Optional inspection fields (property, vendor, purchaser, report type) print on the quote and invoice. Job notes are for your eyes only.

4. 4

   Quote it, with GST worked out on every line

   Add lines with a quantity, unit price, and tax code. Inclusive GST is simply the total divided by 11, rounded to the nearest cent; exclusive GST is 10% on top. Send the quote, print it, or share a link — drafts stay private to your ledger.

5. 5

   Issue the invoice and record the payment

   Accept the quote, issue the invoice, then record cash, transfer, or card payment as they come in. PayID and BSB details print exactly as entered — this is a display only, not a live bank check.

6. 6

   Print, and export when you need to

   Every document prints cleanly on A4. A GST-quarter report totals sales GST by invoice date for your own records — it is not a BAS and does not lodge anything. Export the whole ledger as JSON, CSV, or a BAS Check-shaped CSV of sales lines.

The in-app How it works walkthrough lights up each part as you go.

What this is

• Every quote and invoice shows GST, GST-free amounts, and the total. Inclusive GST is the total divided by 11, rounded to the nearest cent.
• The ABN is checked against the official ABR checksum, and any mismatch is flagged in plain English — no jargon.
• Customers, a rate card, printable documents, statements, and full exports all live in this one ledger.
• It is not ServiceM8 or any other field-service platform — no scheduling, GPS tracking, staff roster, customer portal, or inventory.
• It does not lodge a BAS and it is not a BAS agent — treat it as a well-behaved ledger, not tax advice.
