AND.CO

AND.CO allows you to create professional looking invoices from scratch or choose from a number of templates. With the free plan, the templates aren’t editable but pro users are able to edit them to suit their needs. In addition to invoices, you can create and send proposals to clients for approval as well as requests deposits before the work starts. It’s accessible through a desktop app as well as most modern web browsers.

Time tracking

It has built in time tracking that allows you to log all the time spent working on client projects. You can log it against specific projects in real-time or edit it after the fact and automatically generate invoices based on hours worked time. Use the desktop app for Mac, the web interface, or the mobile app to ensure time logging is always accurate. Finally, share time sheets with clients so they always know exactly how much time you’ve spent on the project.

Expense tracking

AND.CO allows you to track expenses on two levels. First, you’re able to connect your credit or debit cards and sort expenditure within the app. If you don’t like that approach or it doesn’t work for you, simply forward your receipts via email or capture them through the mobile app. Once they’re loaded into AND.CO, categorize them and view a breakdown of all your expenses to stay on top of them.

Task management

My Desk automatically pulls in all your activities and looming deadlines to create an intuitive task management flow. As you accomplish each individual task, simply check it off to keep your task list up to date. You can also create custom lists and customer views so that you can see specific tasks for specific projects. When you have other miscellaneous tasks, simply create a new task and retain a bird’s eye view of everything that needs to be done.

Reporting

No invoicing tool is complete without reports. AND.CO gives you the ability to view three important reports. The first one is your income statement with all the billed and collected revenue from your business. The second one is your expense reports. The last one is your tax report. They can be further filtered by certain criteria such as clients, categories, and time frame.

Freelance contract

The company partnered with the Freelancers Union to create contracts that’ll serve the needs of freelancers. The contracts are easily customizable, support e-signing, and you get notifications when they’re viewed or signed. Finally, you can generate invoices directly from the terms of the signed contract.

AND.CO doesn’t offer separate add-on services because everything is contained within one of their plans. They do have a large integration ecosystem powered by Zapier. With it, you’re able to connect thousands of different apps. It has direct integrations with payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, and WePay.

After confirming your email address, you’re able to customize key elements like business name, logo, and colors. From there, it has a checklist that guides you through every aspect of the app and gives you a $20 credit towards the Pro plan once you’ve completed the checklist. Dashboards share important information without overwhelming you and the menus are clearly labeled which cuts down on the learning curve.
