Sound familiar?
The admin that gets in the way of the work you actually do.
Invoices sent late, or not at all
The work is done, but the invoice sits in your head for a week. Every day it waits is a day longer until you get paid.
Not sure who has paid
Checking your banking app against a spreadsheet to work out which client still owes you is nobody’s idea of fun.
Receipts everywhere
Software subscriptions in your inbox, coffee receipts in your wallet, equipment bills on your desktop. Tax time becomes a scavenger hunt.
Tax-time panic
You know roughly what you earned, but pulling exact income and expense totals together takes days you would rather bill for.
