Bookkeeping for solo consultants
Less time reconciling. More time billing.
Slatework closes the books for solo US consultants — categorizes transactions, chases late invoices, files the quarterly estimate, and stops you from opening QuickBooks on a Sunday night. $19 a month. Flat.
The night-before pain
You bill. We close the books.
Hate QuickBooks
Slatework closes the books for you — no double-entry reconciliation, no chart-of-accounts redesign at midnight.
Tax-time scramble
Quarterly estimates are calculated from real revenue + real expenses, then filed before the IRS is in the room.
AR aging nightmares
Overdue invoices get a polite nudge, then a firmer escalation, calibrated per client so the chase is never awkward.
QuickBooks is overkill for a solo
One $19 flat subscription. No seat fees, no upgrade prompts six months in, no "premium tier" upsell.
Paid late while you bill
Stripe / Mercury / Wise payouts reconcile to the right invoice the moment they post — Slack-pings for the late ones.
Reconciliation backlog
Daily matching of incoming deposits to open invoices, so the queue never builds while you sleep.
From the pain points above
Three jobs solo consultants used to outsource. Now on autopilot.
No bookkeeper
Your books close themselves, daily
Inflows get categorized, reconciled, and matched to the right open invoice the moment your bank posts them. The Sunday-night ledger queue stops existing.
Invoice chasing
Polite, then firm, then paid
Overdue invoices get a gentle nudge first, then a calibrated escalation, then a firmer tone — sequenced per client so the chase never damages the relationship you’re trying to keep. Override the tone any time.
Quarterly taxes
Estimates filed before the deadline bites
Quarterly federal estimates are calculated from real revenue + real expenses — not a January spreadsheet guess — and filed before the IRS is in the room. The same numbers show up in the Monday summary.
