You are the whole business

The admin that comes with being independent

Contracting looks clean from the outside, but the money rarely arrives neatly. Here is where it goes wrong, and how Sole keeps it tidy.

  • Scopes change after the work starts

  • Income is lumpy and tax is your problem

  • Billable work and admin blur together

  • Winning work needs pipeline visibility

  • A real time picture, however many clients you are juggling

    Send professional ABN invoices from anywhere and let Sole chase the overdue ones for you. Use proposals to set out scope, assumptions and payment milestones before a project starts, then move the accepted version straight into billing. Attribute expenses and time to the right client with projects, so you can see what each engagement is really worth. Sole tracks and manages GST as you go and shows a live tax estimate, so you know exactly what to set aside the moment a payment lands. No more EOFY surprises, and no more spreadsheet of who owes what.
