Payments scattered everywhere
Deposits, installments, and retainers are difficult to follow when every client pays differently.

The Challenge
Managing client work is one thing. Tracking every payment is another.
A deposit from one client, a milestone payment from another, and a monthly retainer due next week. When payment records are scattered across spreadsheets, messages, and payment platforms, keeping track of what's still owed becomes difficult.
Unclear outstanding balances
Without an organized record, remembering exactly what each client still owes takes extra work.
Fees reduce what you receive
The amount a client pays isn't always the amount that reaches your account.
Freelancer payment management gets complicated when you work with clients directly and through freelance marketplaces. A clear record brings those different payment arrangements together.
Made for Real Client Work
Every project. Every payment. One clear record.
Whether you collect half upfront, divide a project into milestones, or get paid after delivery, keep every payment connected to the right client and project.
