Stop paying two companies for one workflow

Most freelancers and small studios end up running QuickBooks for the books and HoneyBook for the clients — two subscriptions, two logins, and a monthly ritual of exporting invoices from one to reconcile in the other. BuddyWorkflow does both jobs in one place, so the money you make stays with the people doing the work.

Your invoices already know about your books

Send an invoice, and a paid invoice lands in your books automatically — no CSV exports, no double entry, no reconciling two dashboards at month-end. Every client record shows invoices, payment history and notes in the same view.

Honest, at-cost fees

Your books are free forever. When you get paid, bank transfers are free and cards are passed through at Stripe's exact cost with zero markup — no surprise add-ons. We never skim an uncapped percentage off everything you collect.

Common questions

Can BuddyWorkflow replace both QuickBooks and HoneyBook?
Yes. Bookkeeping, invoicing, a client CRM and marketing analytics all live in one login, so you can retire both subscriptions and keep everything in sync automatically.
Is the bookkeeping really free?
Your books are free forever — no trial wall. You only pay at-cost processing fees when a client pays you, and Pro adds automation, custom branding and pipeline.
What do the payment fees look like?
Cards are passed through at Stripe's exact cost with zero markup, and bank transfers are free — we never take a cut of your payments.

Reduce your admin. Increase your savings.

Free forever for your books. We pass Stripe's real processing cost straight through — never marking up the rate the way others keep the spread — and Pro removes our fee entirely.
