Accounting programs for self-employed

In Spain there are more than 3 million freelancers and the figure does nothing but grow. However, anyone who has belonged to this job category knows that it is not an easy way to work.

They usually have few vacations, live without the security of a fixed income and the administration buries them in paperwork.

One of the most complicated things for a freelancer is to take their accounts and file their taxes. However, technology is facilitating these procedures and there are already some solutions in the market that are very useful. These are the 3 most important:

Declaring: This is a platform in which the self-employed manage their taxes and their accounting through an intelligent virtual advisor. With the free version the self-employed can file their main taxes without having any fiscal knowledge and can do it in a few minutes. In its paid version, a virtual consultant helps the self-employed in their accounting with alerts and automated tax advice (based on own algorithms). It is very economical and useful software.

Sage one: Fast and easy online billing program designed for SMBs but also can use standalone. The self-employed can create invoices and make budgets, while managing VAT and IRPF. It is very focused on billing and has a very affordable monthly price.

Quip: A program that facilitates the invoicing of the self-employed with an easy and simple environment. Like Declaring, you can take your accounting, make your bills and file your taxes. The good thing is that you can connect with your bank, the bad thing is that you do not have tax and accounting advice.
