QuickBooks Self-Employed

In the past, just about everyone you knew probably worked a nine-to-five or part-time job for one business or another. However, these days, more and more people are taking on side hustles and starting companies. If you work for yourself—whether you're a freelancer, an independent contractor, or run your own small business—QuickBooks: Self-Employed allows you to conveniently organize your finances.

QuickBooks: Self-Employed, developed by Intuit, is a comprehensive mileage and expense tracking app for self-employed workers of all kinds. The app turns tedious financial work into a breeze, and it's also an excellent way to discover potential tax deductions.

QuickBooks: Self-Employed lets you input all of your pertinent business-related data, like income, expenses, outstanding invoices, completed transactions, and more. As a registered user, you'll have instant access to this data at all times, allowing you to make smarter business decisions with confidence. And QuickBooks: Self-Employed is all about customization; you can categorize and organize your finances in whatever manner you prefer. The app provides you with profit and loss reports, so you can easily track how your business or side hustle is progressing.

I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no: you don't have to input all of your financial data manually. You can connect the QuickBooks: Self-Employed app to your bank accounts or credit cards and automatically import your expenses. After all, you're a busy, self-motivated individual; you shouldn't have to waste time punching in every little transaction. The app also makes life easier for you come tax season. It will automatically sort all of your expenses into tax categories throughout the year, and it will even give you due date reminders for quarterly taxes and predictions for what you'll owe.

Speaking of tax season, it will be much easier to get through if you've held onto receipts for anything you intend to write off.

With QuickBooks: Self-Employed, you can snap pictures of important receipts, and the app will automatically save them and match them with their connected expenses. Forget filling up your wallet, car, or office with hundreds of printed receipts—it's no longer necessary when you have QuickBooks.
