Cannot pay a subcontractor at all

The tax estimate and simplicity are good, but the moment my situation got even slightly more complex the product could not stretch and I had to work around it.

Happy, with a small wish or two

The right level of simplicity for a freelancer. Invoices look professional, expenses are easy to log, and the tax position is always visible, which is all I actually wanted.

Made freelancing feel manageable

As a designer I want to spend my time designing, not doing books, and it handles the finance side quietly in the background so I barely think about it until I need a number, and then it is there.

Got my tax under control

A good, sensible tool for a small self employed income. It never makes me feel out of my depth the way full accounting software did, which is exactly why I stuck with it.

Right amount of software for a solo business

It handles the finance side of a one person business well and got my tax under control. A couple of things could go further, but for the price and simplicity it is a strong choice.

Finally in control of my finances

My income is lumpy and I always struggled to set aside the right tax, but the running estimate updates as I invoice and expense, so I now move money aside every month rather than panicking each quarter.

Good basics, the Self-Employed switch was bumpy

Fine for a very simple solo income, but I found myself wanting a little more detail in the reporting and the expense categories even for a business of one.

The mileage tracking pays for it

I drive for a living and mileage is my biggest deduction, and it logs every trip automatically on my phone, so at tax time the deduction is right there rather than me guessing from a half filled logbook.

Phone first, which suits me

I do not need a business accounting system, I need to invoice, track expenses and know my tax, and it does exactly that and no more, which is why I stuck with it where the full product felt like too much.

Good idea, outgrew it fast

It works for a genuine business of one, but I grew past that quickly and hit a wall, and moving up felt harder than it should have with the support I got.
