Running a club shouldn't feel like a second job

If this is how it works today, you already know where the evenings go.

Spreadsheets everywhere

Bookings in one sheet, hours in another, money in a third — and nobody's quite sure which is current.

Double-bookings on WhatsApp

“Is the aircraft free Saturday?” times fifty, with conflicts only spotted when two members turn up.

A paper diary & a shoebox

Maintenance scribbled in a logbook and receipts in a shoebox the treasurer dreads each year-end.

One system, end to end

Everything your club needs, in one place

Stop juggling calendars, chat threads and shoeboxes of receipts.

Bookings & scheduling

Book the asset, not an argument

Members reserve aircraft, boats or shared kit online. Availability, conflicts and club rules are handled automatically — no more double-bookings.

  • Live availability across every asset
  • Conflict and rule checks built in
  • Members self-serve from any device

Maintenance & compliance

Nothing slips through the cracks

Raise defects (even straight from a usage log), schedule checks, and track every expiry — insurance, ARC, radio licence, life-limited parts — before it bites.

  • Defects linked to the bill that fixed them
  • Expiries surfaced ahead of time
  • A clean, auditable maintenance history

Members & payments

  • Recurring subs and per-use charges
  • Tax invoices with payment instructions
  • Members see their own statements

…and the rest of the toolkit

Bookings & scheduling

Members book aircraft, boats or shared kit online — conflicts and rules handled, with calendar invites and live feeds so bookings land in their own calendar.

Usage & hours logging

Capture tacho/hobbs or engine hours per trip and bill chargeable time automatically.

Defects & maintenance

Raise defects (even from a usage log), schedule fixes, track quotes and link the bill that paid for them.

Compliance schedule

Insurance, ARC, radio licence, life-limited parts — every expiry tracked and surfaced before it bites.

Members & roles

A full member directory with stacked roles (Treasurer + Maintenance), qualifications and access control.

Invoicing & charges

Raise one-off or recurring member charges, group them into tax invoices with your bank payment details.

AI document reading

Drop in a supplier invoice, bank statement or certificate — AI reads it, files it and proposes the bookkeeping.

Bank reconciliation

Import statements, auto-match transactions and keep the books straight without the spreadsheet pain.

Reports & tax

P&L, balance sheet, aged receivables/payables and sales-tax returns (VAT/GST) you can prepare, archive and mark as submitted — aligned to your financial year.

Incident reporting

Log safety incidents and occurrences with follow-up actions — a clean audit trail for your committee and your insurer.

Cash forecast

A rolling 24-month cash forecast built from your real rates, hours and recurring costs — see trouble long before it arrives.

AI assistant & voice

Ask how to do something or about your own data — or just speak: book a slot, log your hours or report a defect hands-free, with a confirm step before anything changes.

Noticeboard & announcements

Members post notices and reply; owners pin urgent announcements — aircraft grounded, base closed — to everyone's dashboard.

Works on your phone

A mobile-first layout for the hangar or pontoon: book, log usage, view documents, report defects and pay — from your phone.

Fair by design

Meter the usage, split the cost fairly

Every shared asset has its clock. Log the hours and SquadRota turns them into the right charge for each member — automatically, with no spreadsheet arithmetic and no arguments about who owes what.

Full accounting, built in

No bookkeeping software. No bookkeeper.

SquadRota keeps your club's books end to end — so everything lives in one place and you save the cost of separate accounting software and the hours of manual reconciling.

Double-entry ledger kept automatically as you raise charges, pay bills and reconcile the bank.
AI reads supplier invoices and bank statements and proposes the postings — you just confirm.
Sales tax handled — VAT, GST or local tax: configurable rates and periods aligned to your financial year, return-ready figures.
Bank reconciliation with auto-matching keeps the accounts straight.
Year-end accounts produced for you — send the pack to your accountant or file directly.
P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, aged receivables & payables on tap.
Purchase orders and supplier credit notes — quote → PO → bill → payment, tracked end to end.
Member and external-client invoicing, statements and aged debt in one ledger.
Take card payments online (Stripe) so members can settle their invoices in a click.

Get paid, then reconcile itself

Members pay by card — the books keep themselves

Turn on card payments (powered by Stripe) and let members and external clients settle their invoices online in a click. Every payment, fee and payout is recorded and reconciled for you — no manual matching.

Members pay online

A “Pay by card” link on every invoice and emailed statement. Members settle from the dashboard or their phone, and the invoice is marked paid automatically.

External clients too

Invoice non-members — trial lessons, charter, visiting work — and take their card payment the same way, straight against the client invoice.

Fees handled, not hidden

Stripe's processing fee is posted as its own expense, so the invoice still reconciles in full and you can see exactly what card payments cost.

Bank reconciliation

Stripe pays out to your bank in batches. SquadRota matches each payout to the deposit on your statement — one line, not a guess per invoice.

Stripe reconciliation

A dedicated view ties your Stripe clearing balance to your live Stripe balance — gross receipts in, fees and payouts out — so it always agrees.

Refunds & chargebacks

Refunds and disputes flow through automatically: the ledger is corrected and the invoice reopened, so your accounts stay honest.

Money settles in your own Stripe account, not ours. Card payments are available from the Club plan up.

AI built in

Let the paperwork read itself

  • Supplier invoices: supplier, lines, tax and bank details extracted and coded automatically.
  • Bank statements: transactions parsed and matched for reconciliation.
  • Certificates: insurance, ARC and tax-registration documents captured into the right records.
  • An in-app assistant to answer ‘how do I…?’ questions as you work.

Frequently asked questions

What is SquadRota?+

SquadRota is web-based management software for shared-asset clubs — flying clubs, boat syndicates and other groups that share expensive equipment. It handles bookings, usage logging, maintenance and defects, compliance, members and full club accounting in one place.

Who is SquadRota for?+

Flying clubs and group-owned aircraft, boat syndicates and sailing clubs, and any membership group sharing assets that need booking, maintenance tracking, compliance and billing.

Do I still need separate bookkeeping software or a bookkeeper?+

No. SquadRota includes full double-entry accounting — it keeps the ledger as you raise charges, pay bills and reconcile the bank, with AI reading your invoices and statements. There's no need for a separate bookkeeping package or a bookkeeper, which saves time and money.

Can SquadRota produce year-end accounts?+

Yes. It produces a year-end accounts pack you can send straight to your accountant, or file directly — alongside P&L, balance sheet, trial balance and sales-tax figures.

What can it report on?+

Asset usage and utilisation, fuel usage, member utilisation, pilot/member currency, bookings demand, defects, compliance and safety incidents, plus full financial reports and a 24-month cash forecast — all exportable.

Does SquadRota handle sales tax (VAT/GST) and invoicing?+

Yes. It supports tax-registered clubs — UK VAT, GST or local sales tax — with configurable rates and reporting periods, raises member invoices (including recurring schedules) with your tax number and bank payment instructions, and posts the bookkeeping automatically. Each return can be saved and archived, so previous submissions stay viewable exactly as filed.

Can it read supplier invoices and bank statements automatically?+

Yes. SquadRota uses AI to read uploaded PDFs — supplier invoices, bank statements, insurance and registration certificates — extracting suppliers, amounts, dates and account details, and proposing the entries for you to confirm.

Can members and clients pay by card?+

Yes. Card payments are powered by Stripe and money settles in your own Stripe account, not ours. Members and external clients get a 'Pay by card' link on their invoices and statements and can pay online in a click; the invoice is then marked paid automatically. Card payments are available from the Club plan upwards.

How does card payment reconciliation work?+

Automatically. Stripe's processing fee is posted as its own expense so each invoice still reconciles in full. Stripe pays out to your bank in batches, and SquadRota matches each payout to the deposit on your bank statement — and a dedicated Stripe reconciliation view ties your clearing balance to your live Stripe balance. Refunds and chargebacks flow through too, correcting the ledger and reopening the invoice.

Do members need an account?+

Members can be invited to log in to book assets, log usage, see their statements and pay, with role-based permissions controlling what each person can do. There's a mobile-first layout so they can do it from their phone.

Do bookings go into members' own calendars?+

Yes. Booking confirmations include a calendar invite (.ics) so a booking lands straight in Google, Apple or Outlook calendars, and every member can also subscribe to a live calendar feed of their club bookings.

Can I add extra assets or members without changing plan?+

Yes. On the Pro plan you can add capacity blocks — extra assets or members in fixed bundles — self-serve from your Subscription page. They're added to your subscription pro-rata and can be removed again at any time.

Is there an AI assistant?+

Yes. An in-app assistant answers how-to questions and questions about your own data (your balance, your bookings, what's due for maintenance), and can report a defect, make a booking or log usage on your say-so — including by voice, hands-free — with a confirmation step before anything is changed.

How much does SquadRota cost?+

There's a free plan for small groups (one shared asset and up to four members), then paid plans — Starter, Club and Pro — that add capacity and features. Every paid plan starts with a 60-day free trial and needs no card. Pay annually for the equivalent of two months free. See the Pricing section for current prices.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a card?+

Yes — every paid plan comes with a 60-day free trial, and no card is required to start. You can stay on the free plan indefinitely, or pick a paid plan during or after the trial. Nothing is charged automatically.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?+

Nothing is deleted. If you move to a smaller plan and you're over its limits, your most recently added assets or members are simply locked (kept safe and read-only) until you upgrade again or add a capacity block — your earliest records stay active.

Can I switch from QuickBooks, Sage or Xero?+

Yes. SquadRota can import your existing book-keeping data — contacts, and opening balances — from QuickBooks, Sage, Xero or a CSV, so you can move across without starting from scratch.

How do I get started?+

Sign up free, tell us a little about your club in a short guided setup, choose a plan (or stay free), and you can start adding assets and members straight away.
