- **Invoicing & Payments** — Branded PDF invoices, Stripe payments, automated reminders, multi-currency, partial payments
- **Financial Intelligence** — Revenue forecasting, project profitability analysis, balance sheets, tax estimation

Plus: real-time chat, workflow templates, case study builder, team permissions matrix, and calendar scheduling.

- **Solo freelancers** — designers, developers, copywriters, consultants
- **Creative agencies** — teams of 5–50+ managing multiple clients
- **Consultancies** — advisory firms tracking engagements and billing
