Before and after
Nothing here is clever. It is the same five jobs every studio does each month, done once instead of every time.
| Task | Before | With Tally Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Making the invoice | Copy last month’s spreadsheet, change the numbers, export a PDF, attach it to an email. | Tracked hours and expenses fill in by themselves. Look it over and send it. |
| Getting the sums right | Tax and totals worked out by hand, and checked twice because it is always the one you miss. | Tax, totals and currency are calculated as you type, and shown on the page the client receives. |
| Chasing payment | The same slightly awkward email on day 15, day 30 and day 45, written from scratch each time. | Polite reminders go out on the schedule you set, and stop the moment the invoice is paid. |
| Knowing where you stand | A tab called “Who owes me” that is two weeks out of date. | One screen: sent, opened, due, paid. Overdue invoices come first. |
| Tax time | A folder of PDFs and an evening in March. | One export that your accountant can open without asking you questions. |
