Key Capabilities
Smart automation saves time and reduces errors
Professional Invoicing
Create branded invoices in seconds. Add tracked time and expenses automatically, set payment terms, enable online payments, and send automated reminders for overdue invoices.
Time Tracking
Built-in timers for billable hours. Track time per project and client, then convert tracked time directly into invoice line items with one click.
Double-Entry Accounting
Full double-entry system with automated transaction categorisation, bank reconciliation, journal entries, and real-time financial dashboards.
Online Payments
Accept credit cards, ACH bank transfers, and Apple Pay directly from invoices. Clients pay with a single click — you get paid 2x faster on average.
Expense Tracking
Snap receipt photos, auto-extract amounts, categorise expenses, and attach to projects or clients. Bank connections import transactions automatically.
Financial Reports
Profit & loss, balance sheet, tax summary, accounts aging, expense reports, and revenue by client — all exportable for your accountant or tax preparer.
Project Management
Organise work by project, share files with clients, discuss deliverables, track time, and see real-time profitability per project.
Estimates & Proposals
Create professional estimates, convert accepted estimates directly into invoices, and track approval status in your pipeline.
