Work logged, invoices sent, money in
Real work run through Cake Invoicing by independent professionals who'd rather be doing the work than chasing the paperwork.

I switched from another USA based accounting software to Cake Invoicing. It is simple and only does what I need. In fact it changed my work flow, now I just log my time for the task, press a button and the invoicing is done. It used to take me hours every month to invoice, now it takes minutes. Thank you Cake Invoicing!

Basic on purpose
Tasks. Invoice. Done.
Cake Invoicing sticks to the essentials: log the work, turn it into an invoice, record the payment. No feature maze, nothing to configure, nothing in the way.
Tasks & time
Log billable work in seconds against a client and service: rates, quantities, and back-dated entries. Every task gets an auto reference ID.
Clients & services
Keep client profiles with saved services and hourly or flat rates, so each task prices itself the moment you log it.
Invoices & PDF
Build an invoice from unbilled tasks in any date range, then send it or download a clean, professional PDF.
Payments & history
Record partial or full payments and keep a running history. Task and invoice statuses update themselves as money comes in.
Metrics & reports
See what's outstanding, what's been paid, and revenue trends at a glance, with reporting you can break down by client.
Your data, your call
Export everything as re-importable JSON or delete your account outright. No lock-in, and nothing held hostage.
How it works
From finished job to paid invoice in three steps
1
Log the work
