Know what you owe before the deadline tells you.
Steady tracks your income and expenses, sends your invoices, and calculates what to set aside for quarterly taxes; updated automatically as you earn. Built by a corporate accounting manager who got tired of watching talented people dread January.
No card required. Cancel any time, keep your data.
Nobody hands you a system when you go freelance.
You got good at the work. Then the invoices piled up, the receipts went into a folder you stopped opening, and someone mentioned quarterly taxes like you were supposed to already know.
That is not a discipline problem. It is a missing system, and it is the exact thing accountants build for companies every day, just never for you. Steady is that system, sized for one person.
Everything the money side of your business needs, in one place.
Know your quarterly number
Steady calculates what to set aside based on your real profit and your filing situation, and updates it every time money moves. No more guessing at thirty per cent and hoping.
Get paid without chasing
Send branded invoices, set payment terms, and see at a glance who has paid and who is overdue, with alerts when a client owes more than you are comfortable carrying.
Catch what fell through
Check what you logged against your real bank or platform statements. Reconciliation is how you find the subscription that never cancelled and the payout that never landed.
See what you actually made
Profit and loss, income by source, and recurring expense detection — reports in the format a CPA expects, not a chart that means nothing in April.
Hand your accountant something clean
Generate a read-only link with your transactions and filing details. No login on their end, no editing, expires automatically. January stops being a scramble.
Keep your own data
Export everything — every transaction, category and tax payment — to Excel or JSON whenever you want. Your records belong to you, not to the software.
Set up in about ten minutes.
Tell Steady how you earn
Pick your income sources and the categories you spend in. Freelance fees, sponsorships, ad revenue, software, travel, whatever is actually true for you.
Log what comes in and goes out
Add transactions as they happen, attach receipts, and mark anything recurring so it fills itself in next month.
Check your number before the deadline
Open the Tax Center any time to see the quarter's profit, what to set aside, and what you have already paid. That is the whole loop.
Some quarters you want a second set of eyes.
Four times a year, I go through your books myself. I catch the expenses filed in the wrong place, check your set-aside against your actual situation instead of a flat percentage, flag anything your accountant is going to ask about, and confirm the quarter is clean before the deadline.
It is the difference between software that gives you a number and someone who can tell you whether the number is right.
Limited spots; I am one person, and the review is genuinely done by me.
3 free reviews up for grabs. All fields are required.
Start clean, not scrambling to catch up.
A one-time build: your chart of accounts, your income and expense categories, and up to three months of history entered properly, so you are starting from clean rather than from wherever you actually are. Multiple clients or projects? I will do 6–12 months instead.
Ends with a 30-minute call where I show you what I built and what to do each month going forward.
A done-for-you bookkeeping cleanup, start to finish.
Let's talk about your business.
Pick a time for a free 30-minute call with me. Tell me where you're struggling (messy books, cash flow, pricing, taxes, or just not knowing where to start) and we'll work out what would actually help.
Start with your number.
One free calculator, no signup. And when you want the whole system written down, the kit.

The Freelancer Money Kit
What to charge, how to get paid, what you can claim, your numbers, and the January handoff. The rate worksheet, a master invoice, five chase emails, the deduction guide, a one-page P&L and the CPA checklist, in one 16-page kit.
Hi, I'm Marisa.
I am a corporate accounting manager. For more than ten years I have done the books for construction firms, manufacturers, healthcare companies and tech businesses; the kind of spreadsheet work most people would call boring, and I genuinely like.
What I kept noticing was that the systems those companies take for granted were never built for individuals. A freelancer earning $60,000 has almost every accounting problem a small company has, and none of the infrastructure. So they guess, they dread the deadline, and they decide they are bad with money.
They are not. Nobody built them the system. That is the whole reason Steady exists.
You do not have to figure it out alone.
A private group of self-employed people comparing notes on rates, taxes, slow-paying clients and the occasional "is this deductible" panic. Free to join, and I am in there answering questions.
