Best websites for the self-employed
These sites keep track of billable hours, invoices, taxes, and tasks that need to get done.
FreshBooks.com keeps track of your billable hours and invoices, and offers customers “an easy way to settle up electronically.” Like most of the other sites on this list, FreshBooks offers free services and charges only for more extensive help.
Outright.com can be your tax accountant. It handles the math on “complicated tax forms” and can remind you when quarterly payments are due and where to send them.
Google.com/voice cuts out the confusion for customers if you use multiple phone lines—cell, house, etc. This free service enables you to share just one number but takes calls on any phone you choose.
