Start freeThe Freelance Money Problems We Actually Solve
Irregular income, messy books
Some months are feast, some are famine - and personal and business money blur together in one account.
The fix: A dedicated ledger with Visual Accounting Mode shows income and expenses in plain language, so you always know what the business actually earned.
Receipt chaos
Deductible expenses hide in shoeboxes, email inboxes, and glove compartments - then disappear at tax time.
The fix: Snap a photo and OCR receipt scanning turns it into a coded expense. On Professional, AI auto-categorization files it for you.
Quarterly tax anxiety
No employer withholds taxes for you, and the April surprise can be brutal if you have not set money aside.
The fix: Tax-ready reports and expense categories mapped to deduction lines keep you current all year, not just in April.
1099 paperwork
Paying subcontractors means tracking who got what and generating the right forms.
The fix: Contractor management tracks every payment, and Professional generates 1099 & W-2 forms when you need them.
