Time Is Money; Make It Count

As a freelancer or small business owner, you know time is money. There are a lot of financial tasks that, while necessary, are also time-consuming. This is especially true if you’re not experienced in finance-related operations.

To optimize your business’ performance, you should spend the majority of your time on the tasks you specialize in. Streamlining your finance-related responsibilities frees you up to focus on your customers and other critical areas of your business.

The average small business saves up to 80 hours per month by using Hiveage. To put that figure into perspective, it’s the equivalent of two workweeks per month. That equates to 24 weeks per year! What more could you accomplish if several months’ worth of invoicing was lifted from your workload?

It also enables you to track the hours you spend in real time. You can start the timer when you begin working, pause for breaks, and finalize it when you’re ready to log the hours.

Sometimes your services involve certain expenses, such as lunch with a client or equipment needed to complete key tasks. Your work may even require you to travel. Hiveage makes tracking expenses and mileage a breeze.

These features offer a more detailed and accurate view of how you spend your time and resources so you can bill your clients properly or use the information to file your taxes. Once you’re done tracking your time, you can use Hiveage to conveniently generate automated invoices or estimates!

Invoice With Simplicity and Speed

As a freelancer or small business owner, it’s important that your customers view you as professional and organized. It’s hard to come across as reputable or credible if your finances are a mess.

Chaotic invoicing processes increase the chances of things slipping through the cracks. Not only can this make you look disorganized to your customers, but it can also result in delayed or missed payments.
