Know Exactly How Much You Earned This Year
No more end-of-year surprises. See your income month by month, client by client.
Ask most freelancers how much they earned last quarter, and they'll say "let me check my invoicing tool" or "I think around..." — followed by a guess.
That's dangerous. You can't plan your business on guesses.
Log every payment
Every time a client pays you, create an income entry in Backlog. Title: "March retainer — Acme". Amount: €2,500. Client: Acme Studio. Done.
It takes ten seconds. And now it's recorded permanently.
The 12-month grid
Your dashboard shows a row of green cells — one for each month — with your total income. At a glance, you see which months were strong and which were slow.
Open a client profile and you see their income row: exactly how much they've paid you, month by month, for the last year.
No more spreadsheets
You don't need a separate invoicing tool just to know how much you earned. Backlog isn't an invoicing tool — it's your financial memory. The truth of what came in and what went out, always up to date, always one click away.
This is what Backlog does.
One workspace for your entire freelance business. Join the waitlist.
