FROM REAL SUBSCRIBERS

I decided to give FreelanceOS a try due to the move from HMRC to go to MTD. I have tried loads of apps, big and small and just couldn't find the right fit until one of my freelance colleagues suggested I give FreelanceOS a try.

The interface and dashboard is clear and clean, the receipt scanning works flawlessly. I created a web app on my phone and it looks just like an actual app!

While I did have some teething issues and questions (Really down to being stuck in my ways doing what I had done for years), David was always on the end of an email with a speedy response and the right answer!

Whilst it misses out the direct MTD link im certain the paperwork produced will be more than enough to make life and the transition to MTD a breeze

Its also nice to support someone else from the industry, making something for the industry!

Came across the creator David in a Facebook group and thought I'd try FreelanceOS out after having some pain points with my previous systems.

Having one software that both functions as a calendar scheduling jobs in and then billing these jobs afterwards was a gamechanger. Then you add in the receipt scanning and the ability to forecast how much revenue will be brought in over the coming year. I’m now much happier and confident with my business and spend less time on admin.

Switching over, I've had some feedback to give FreelanceOS and it's all been implemented quickly and effectively which gives me additional confidence this is the software to use moving forward.

No brainer to give the software a try risk free and if you like it as much as me, you might find yourself with more time to do things other than work!

ABOUT

Built by someone who
actually does the work.

I've worked in the events industry for over 20 years - ending up as Operations Director responsible for £5m of equipment before stepping back into hands-on freelance work.

What surprised me was how poor the tools were once I left that environment. Companies had proper systems. Freelancers didn't. I found myself back on notebooks, spreadsheets, and invoice templates.

So I built something for myself. If you work job-to-job like I do, that's what this app is for.

FAQ

Common questions

Is FreelanceOS suitable for self-employed and sole traders in the UK?

Yes - FreelanceOS is built specifically for UK-based freelancers and sole traders who bill clients per job. It handles invoicing, expense tracking, mileage logging, and quarterly reporting aligned to the UK tax year and HMRC requirements.

Can FreelanceOS replace spreadsheets for tracking jobs and expenses?

Yes. FreelanceOS replaces the combination of spreadsheets, invoice templates, and mileage logs that most freelancers piece together. Jobs, expenses, mileage, invoices, and client details are all connected in one place - so nothing gets missed and year-end tax prep takes minutes rather than hours.

Is FreelanceOS Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliant?

FreelanceOS keeps full digital records of your income, expenses, mileage and VAT - which is the core legal requirement of MTD. It produces an SA103-formatted summary and quarterly breakdowns ready to feed into HMRC bridging software (such as 123Sheets or Easy MTD VAT) or hand to your accountant. FreelanceOS itself does not submit returns directly to HMRC - for that step you'd still need bridging software or an accountant, which is how most freelancers in this price bracket file.

Does FreelanceOS handle VAT for VAT-registered freelancers?

Yes. Toggle on VAT registration in Settings and FreelanceOS will calculate VAT on invoices, separate net/gross totals, capture VAT on each expense, and roll everything up into a VAT-aware quarterly report. The report is ready to feed into HMRC bridging software for the actual MTD VAT return submission.

How does the mileage tracker work?

Record every business journey and FreelanceOS calculates the claimable amount at HMRC's approved mileage rates - 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles (from 6 April 2026), then 25p thereafter. It keeps a running log by fiscal year that you can export for your self-assessment tax return.

Is FreelanceOS good for AV technicians and events industry freelancers?

FreelanceOS was built by an AV and events industry professional specifically for the way event work operates - shift-based scheduling, multiple jobs, kit hire costs, and quick invoicing after the event. It's used by AV technicians, riggers, lighting engineers, event coordinators, and other events industry freelancers.

Is FreelanceOS suitable for self-employed tradespeople?

Yes. FreelanceOS works well for any sole trader who quotes for jobs, buys materials, and invoices clients on completion - electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, decorators, and similar trades. You can log a job, add the labour and materials as line items, capture receipts for anything you bought on site, track your mileage between jobs, and generate a professional invoice at the end. Materials costs have their own expense category mapped directly to SA103 Box 17 so your tax reporting is accurate without any extra work.

Does FreelanceOS work on mobile?

Yes - FreelanceOS is designed mobile-first and works on any smartphone or tablet. You can log jobs, scan receipts with AI, track mileage, and manage invoices entirely from your phone. It can be installed as a Progressive Web App so it works even without a signal.

How much does FreelanceOS cost?

FreelanceOS costs £11.99 per month or £119.99 per year, saving 17%. There's a free 14-day trial with no credit card required - full access to everything from day one.
