You bill for your time, chase a few invoices, and hand one clean file to your CA at year-end. Finocket’s freelancer setup keeps it that light — invoicing, expenses and TDS on your receipts, without shop-keeping features in your way.
Your first day
- Sign up as a freelancer — the wizard stays short and skips what you don’t need.
- Invoice your first client — professional PDF, UPI QR, your own numbering.
- Record the payment — TDS included — when a client withholds 10% under 194J, the invoice still closes correctly.
Your rhythm
Daily — log payments as they land (voice entry works), snap receipts into expenses. Weekly — send estimates, convert the accepted ones, nudge one overdue invoice on WhatsApp. Monthly — retainers post themselves; if you’re GST-registered, GSTR-1/3B are ready from your invoices. Yearly — the Hand-to-CA file, your 80C picture under Personal finance, and the old-vs-new regime compare before you file.
