A small business journey to success

The founder and CEO of Bookipi Group, Tim Lee has experienced many diverse career changes.

Tim was an actuarial student in Australia. He started his own successful trades business to pay for his studies. As a small business owner, he experienced small business frustrations first-hand and knew that things should be easier.

Tim set out to make small business apps that are enjoyed by thousands of global customers. Throughout the many changes in Tim’s career and start-up adventures, one thing is certain. Tim is determined to build and share simple tools for small businesses.  

Solving small business problems

Tim managed a successful tiling business with up to 14 employees as a tradesman in Australia. Owning a small business is both challenging and rewarding. As a natural problem-solver, Tim wanted to fix things like billing clients which had been hard for himself as a business owner.

As a tradesman, Tim realized that simplicity and being mobile are key priorities for small business owners. He learned how to code and design by himself. He created the simple invoice maker app, Invoice Bee released in July 2016.

Tim juggled the joys of parenting while building Invoice Bee into a successful mobile app. Armed with this success, Tim set his mind on building something bigger. Read the full coverage by 9news here.
