«At the end of every month, I take those files and upload them to Taki with a simple comment on what it is, and it's done in a few minutes. That's all I have to do each month for expenses.»

Workflow: One upload at the end of the month

Line collects her receipts and expense files as the month goes on. At the end of it Line uploads them all to Taki with a short comment on what they are, and a few minutes later all expenses for the month are done.

Invoices to clients go out from the same chat. An authorised accountant checks the books behind it, so Line can spend her time on the work her clients hire her for.

Recommended package

Working solo like Line?

A consultant or freelancer with a handful of client invoices and the month's expenses fits comfortably in Small, and that is where most one person companies start.

Every package includes the same things: your own authorised accountant from one of our partner firms, VAT, bank integration, and invoicing (annual reporting is extra). You only choose the volume, and you can move between packages as you grow.
