One Template for Every Type of Work
Consultant, graphic designer, handyman, tutor, photographer, personal trainer — the list of self-employed work is long. You shouldn't need a different invoicing tool for each. Line items are fully flexible: describe any service, set a quantity and rate, and the invoice does the rest.
Professional Invoicing Builds Credibility
A well-formatted invoice signals that you run a real business. Clients take you more seriously when your billing looks polished — your name, logo, clear line items, and a defined payment deadline. It sets expectations and reduces the chance of late payments.
Clean Records for Tax Season
When you're self-employed, your invoices are your income records. A history of numbered, dated invoices with clear amounts makes tax filing straightforward. No more digging through emails or bank statements to reconstruct what you earned.
Track What You're Owed
Your dashboard shows outstanding invoice amounts, overdue balances, and payment history at a glance. Stop wondering who owes you what — the numbers are right there.
What You Get
Works for Any Service
Line items adapt to whatever you do. Bill for consulting hours, a photography session, a home repair, or a tutoring package — describe the work, set the price, done.
Professional Templates
Choose from 8 polished layouts that make your invoices look like they came from an established business. Upload your logo and pick a color palette to match your brand.
Saved Clients for Repeat Billing

Payment Status Tracking
