Any advice for how to keep track of my accounting: expenses, income, invoices, etc? I am clueless when it comes to this stuff.

Katie, I just started using a tool called paymo and you can use it to invoice (which I haven’t done yet), keep track of your time, project plan and so much more. 

There are designs that I’ve worked on in the past that are HUGE time suckers and wasters. So I mostly started using this to help keep my design time in check.  

There is a free version you can try just go to paymo.biz 

For last years designs I’ve started keeping track with paper and pen and am just now getting that info into a spread sheet for tax purposes. 

Hope that helps.

Blinksale

Invotrak

Invoices Made Easy

Billing Orchard

SimplyBill

Time:59

Bill4Time

Pay Simple

Cashboard

Invoice2Go

Harvest

Trac

Billable

BambooInvoice

CurdBee

Never hurts to be thorough! Lol 😉

There are a lot of tools for tracking projects, expense, income, invoice, time, etc.

These are the tools I would suggest for each:

Project Tracking – Replicon Project tracking software

invoice – Invoicera

Expense and time – Time clock

Hope it helps…
