Been using WorkMade for a few months now, so I’m going to go ahead and write my honest review:
For starters, this is a brilliant, long-overdue idea. For me, the weirdest and most daunting part about going full-time freelance was the accounting side of things. Keeping track of all of my income and expenses sounded like a foreign and tedious chore that I was not thrilled about doing. Thankfully, I discovered WorkMade right as I was transitioning away from my desk job, so now I don’t have to worry about any of that at all. Sweet!
The app itself is very simple to sign up for, and the detailed FAQ answered pretty much all of my questions from the get-go. The UI is clean and beautiful, and easy to use.
Pros:
- In-app invoicing with automatic reminders (ditching PayPal never felt so good)
- Auto-calculates write-offs
- Paying quarterly taxes is stupid easy
- Instant payouts to your personal bank
- Extremely responsive support
Cons:
- Bugs with invoicing ( ex. not sending reminder emails or emails in the first place)
- Can’t get a physical debit card (yet)
- Can’t use on desktop
- Doesn’t work with S-Corps (maybe one day?)
- Some features are rudimentary
^ My main gripe with the cons is that many of the features are still in an infancy stage, since this company is only about a year old. I’ve had a few bugs with invoicing (that, thankfully, were solved right away), but still it’s a little nerve-wracking to be dealing with app hiccups when we’re handling someone’s money/livelihood.
However, I firmly believe that as this company grows and irons out some kinks, that this could be a very powerful freelancing app that rivals some of the bigger (and more expensive) bookkeeping services on the market today.
