Invoice clients, keep receipts, know what you have earned.
Designers, consultants, writers and creators: Keel keeps the money side of project work in one place, without bookkeeping software built for a finance team.
The jobs around the job — the ones that do not get done on site.
Quoting a projectTurning scope into a number the client accepts — and a document that says what is included.
Client invoicesClean, numbered invoices with the details a company’s accounts team needs to pay you.
Expenses and receiptsSoftware, equipment and travel — kept with the proof, so the deduction survives.
Who has paidKnowing which invoices are outstanding without keeping a spreadsheet up to date.
Income you can actually spendYour balance is not your income: some of it belongs to the tax office.
Year-end recordsHanding your accountant the year in one file instead of a folder of PDFs.
What Keel does for you.
Everything below is in the version on the App Store today.
Estimates
Quote the work
Write the estimate on site and send it while the customer is still standing there. When they say yes, it becomes the invoice in one tap — Today flags accepted quotes ready to convert.
Invoices
Invoice the customer
Clean PDF invoices with taxes, discounts and payment terms, sent by email, Messages or WhatsApp. Add a payment QR code; line items you have used before are suggested, priced from your own history.
Customers
Know your customers
A small CRM built in: each customer’s jobs, invoices and payment history in one place. When someone is late, Keel drafts the reminder — you approve it before anything is sent.
Expenses
Track expenses
Every expense recorded with its category and its receipt, under the job it belongs to — so you can see what each job cost.
Who owes you
Know who owes you
Today opens with what needs your call: overdue invoices, accepted quotes, finished work waiting to be billed. The Outstanding widget shows who has owed you the longest.
Freeboard
See what is actually yours
Freeboard is your cash minus a tax reserve, the bills you have committed to and a buffer you set — the amount you can actually spend or pay yourself. A planning estimate, not tax advice.
Keel does not import from your bank or file your return. It keeps clean records and estimates what to set aside, so the return is quick to do.
