What it does not do
So you can decide quickly.
- No bank feeds. Syncing with banks is the most common complaint about other tools. We match online payouts to your deposits instead.
- No legal notices, liens or collections. You get example wording to edit; a lawyer or licensed agency handles the rest.
- No tax forms or tax advice. The exports are made to hand to an accountant.
- No text messages or mailing service. Email and print-ready PDFs.
- No phone app to install. It runs in any browser, phone included.
- US dollars only, for now.
