How it works →What is bookkeeping costing you?
Move the sliders. With contado the week's bookkeeping is about 15 minutes — a few screenshots and a swipe.
An estimate, not a promise: it assumes you keep doing today's bookkeeping by hand, and spend about 15 minutes a week with contado instead. It counts your time at your rate — it is not money contado pays you.
Know who owes you
Every unpaid job, grouped by client, aged. One tap when the cash arrives — or a screenshot clears it automatically.
- Every open job, grouped by client and aged.
- “Got cash” is one tap — the money entry writes itself.
- Two weeks unpaid gets a gentle flag — never a nag.
In January, your Schedule C is basically done.
Schedule-C categories on your expenses, a mileage estimate, proof of income, and a CSV your tax preparer opens directly.
Your books, your data, nobody else's.
- We never sell your data. No ads.
- No bank login — you upload your own screenshots.
- Export everything, anytime, free.
- Delete your account any time — everything erased for good.
