The all-in-one software for freelancers
Stop running your business across a spreadsheet and eight browser tabs. Managable puts your clients, projects, invoices, payments, documents, and books in one workspace — with Aether, an AI operator, on the admin.
Client CRM
Every client’s projects, payments, files, and history in one searchable profile — a CRM for client work, not a sales funnel.
Projects & tasks
Run each job with its tasks, files, and budget scoped to the client it belongs to.
Invoicing in any currency
Multi-currency, line-item invoices with your signature stamped on, paid status tracked automatically.
Bank reconciliation
Connect your banks and Stripe; every payout auto-matches the right invoice so your books stay closed.
Proposals & contracts
Draft, sign, send, and track them — then turn an accepted proposal into a project and invoice.
Aether on the admin
Your AI operator drafts invoices and documents, creates tasks, and keeps the books moving.
What is freelance management software?
Freelance management software is one tool that runs the whole business of being self-employed: finding the work in a client CRM, delivering it in projects, billing it with invoicing, and keeping the books with bank reconciliation. Instead of stitching together a spreadsheet, an invoicing app, a contracts tool, and a notes app, everything lives in one connected workspace.
- Clients, projects, and tasks in one place
- Invoicing, payments, and bank reconciliation connected
- Proposals, contracts, files, and a credential vault
- An AI operator that does the repetitive admin
Your "system" is eight browser tabs. Replace it.
Clients in a spreadsheet, files in Drive, contracts in Word, invoices in Stripe, reconciliation in a spreadsheet you forgot to open. Every tab is a place for something to fall through the cracks. Managable collapses the stack into one workspace where the client, the work, and the money are the same record.
The software freelancers actually need (and where Managable fits)
Most "best software for freelancers" lists hand you eight separate subscriptions. Here is the shorter version — the tools that matter, and the one workspace that covers all of them:
- CRM to track clients and history → built in (/clients)
- Project & task management to run the work → built in (/projects, /tasks)
- Invoicing software, multi-currency → built in (/invoicing)
- Accounting / bank reconciliation to keep books current → built in (/finance)
- Proposals & contracts with e-signature → built in (/docs)
- A password/credential vault for client logins → built in (/credentials)
- An AI assistant to handle the admin → Aether (/aether)
Switching from QuickBooks, FreshBooks, HoneyBook, or Bonsai
If you have outgrown an accounting tool or an all-in-one that does not fit how you work, moving is low-risk: import clients via CSV, connect Stripe for history, and start same-day. Managable adds what those tools miss for freelancers — real multi-currency bank reconciliation, a credential vault, and an AI operator — while keeping your data exportable both ways. See how we compare to QuickBooks, FreshBooks, HoneyBook, and Bonsai.
What to look for in software for freelancers
Not all "all-in-one" tools are equal. Before you commit, check that the software actually connects the parts of your business instead of bolting them together — and that it handles the money side, not just the to-do list.
- One record for clients, work, and money — not separate apps
- Multi-currency invoicing and real bank reconciliation
- Proposals and contracts you can sign and track
- Books-ready export to your accountant, Xero, or QuickBooks
- A free plan and no-lock-in data export
Import
Bring clients in via CSV and connect Stripe — your history and contacts are in on day one.
Work
Run projects, send proposals and invoices, and let Aether handle the admin.
Get paid & reconcile
Payments track to paid and auto-reconcile, so your books are always current.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for freelancers?
The best freelance software replaces the spreadsheet-plus-eight-apps setup with one workspace. Managable gives freelancers a client CRM, projects, tasks, invoicing, multi-currency bank reconciliation, documents, and an AI operator — so clients, work, and money live in one place instead of scattered across tools.
Is Managable good accounting software for freelancers?
For the money side freelancers actually handle day to day — multi-currency invoicing, payment tracking, and automatic bank reconciliation — yes. It keeps your books current and exports clean, books-ready data to Xero or QuickBooks for full accounting, so for most freelancers it replaces the invoicing-tool-plus-spreadsheet combo.
How do I switch to Managable from QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Bonsai?
Import your clients via CSV, connect Stripe to pull payment history, and start invoicing and reconciling the same day. Your data stays exportable both ways, so switching is low-risk. See our QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Bonsai comparisons for a side-by-side.
Does it work for self-employed people and sole proprietors?
Yes. Managable is built for one-person businesses — it is accounting software for the self-employed plus the CRM, projects, invoicing, and documents you run a freelance business on.
Can I invoice clients in different currencies?
Yes. Invoice in USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR and more, and Managable reconciles each payment back to the invoice across currencies — ideal for freelancers with international clients.
Is it free to start?
Yes. The Starter plan is free, and paid plans start at $14/mo. No credit card to begin, and you can import your data and send your first invoice on day one.
