Built out of necessity: Blipvoice

Every month I end up duplicating last month's invoice, tweaking a date, exporting a PDF, emailing it, and then a few weeks later hunting for it when the accountant asks. I tried a couple of the big invoicing SaaS tools. They're fine, but for a freelancer with a handful of clients they're overkill. Too many features, too many upsells, and a subscription that quietly eats your margin.

So I built Blipvoice. It does the few things I actually need, and nothing else.

Raise an invoice, clone the last one, mark it paid with the date you actually received the money, run a year-end report for the tax year, download a customer statement with opening and closing balances. When the accountant asks for the books, generate a view-only share link with one click. They can see everything, download CSVs and PDFs, but can't change a thing. Revoke it when they're done.

It's UK-flavoured by default. Tax year runs April 6th to April 5th, late payment wording follows the 1998 Act. Currency, tax rates and year-end are all configurable. No subscription. Just the tool I wanted for myself.

If you're a freelancer, a contractor, or running a small limited company and your current setup is a spreadsheet and a folder of PDFs, give it a look. blipvoice.com.
