Sound familiar?
The admin that gets in the way of the work you actually do.
Engagements that blur together
Fixed-fee projects, day rates and expenses to recharge all get billed differently, and it is easy to miss something.
Expenses you forget to recharge
Travel and accommodation for a client project get paid from your account and never make it onto the invoice.
Clients across borders
Different currencies and tax treatments make a simple question like “how much did I earn?” surprisingly hard.

Your clients are used to polished documents from big firms. A spreadsheet invoice does not fit.
