If you are self-employed you probably know how challenging it is to provide written quotes, invoice customers and keep track of receipts while on the job site. The right software can let you do all these things and more. In this post I’m going to talk about an app for independent contractors. It lets you send quotes and invoices on the go. I have used QuickBooks and this app gets points for its ease of use and reasonable cost.

QuickBooks Self-Employed is a mobile-friendly app made by QuickBooks. The app has just what you need and it is designed for regular people. You don’t have to be a bookkeeper to use it. It does quotes and invoices on the go, keeps track of expenses and you can set it up to keep track of mileage. Use it to claim you vehicle expenses and saves taxes. The mileage tracker uses the GPS on your smart phone. The expense tracker allows you to snap a photo of each receipt so you don’t have to worry about loosing them. I don’t know about you, but I often forgot to mark the mileage log before I left the driveway.

These are real time-saving features that allow you to focus on your business. Your accountant will be very happy because it will make their job easier and that should save you money. Intuit charges $10 a month for QuickBooks self-employed. That’s only a little more than I pay for a mileage tracker. You can try it out for free for 30 days. Sometimes they offer a reduced rate for 90 days. QuickBooks Self-Employed website
