One of the hardest parts of being a freelancer is keeping track of finances. When I first started freelancing I had real problems with cash flow, I wasn't getting paid becuase I wasn't invoicing in a timely manner. It causes your clients problems if you invoice when they've closed their books on a project, and I found using spreadsheets became a nightmare as soon as I got busy. Happily I had an IT consultant in my business (me) so I looked for a solution and came up with Kashflow. Now I invoice accurately within a day or two of a job finishing and know what's been paid and what hasn't. Completing company accounts at year end is so much easier too. if you want to try Kashflow for free follow my affiliate link below!
