- Know your numbers: pricing, profit & taxes
- See what needs your attention today
What's inside
- Start HereYour welcome page: a 5-step setup checklist, a map of how the tabs fit together, a guide to every tab with clickable links, and the color legend.
- DashboardToday at a glance: revenue, booked pipeline, balances and profit; open inquiries, upcoming shoots and anything overdue; four action lists and three charts.
- JobsEvery job from first inquiry to paid. Pick a package and the price fills in; deposit, balance, payment status, gallery due date, delivery status and job profit all calculate.
- ClientsEveryone you work with, with their contact details, lead source, number of jobs, booked revenue, paid to date, balance owed and last/next shoot.
- PaymentsEvery deposit, balance, tip and refund. Each payment updates its job's Paid to Date, Balance and Payment Status.
- Delivery BoardYour editing queue: galleries to start, in progress and delivered in the last 30 days, sorted by what's due first, with your on-time rate and average turnaround.
- Session PlannerA printable shoot plan for any job: the job card (client, date, location), then the timeline, shot list, gear and to-dos.
- InvoiceA printable quote, invoice or receipt for any job, built from its package, add-ons, discount and payments, with the balance due.
- ReportsYour year in numbers: profit and loss by month, expenses by category, quarterly tax set-aside, revenue by session type, lead sources and top agents.
- PricingYour cost of doing business: what you need to earn per year, your hourly floor and minimum price per session, and a package builder that flags any package priced below your floor.
- ExpensesBusiness purchases by category, with business-use %, an optional job link (it counts toward that job's costs) and receipt links.
- MileageBusiness drives and your mileage deduction, using the rate in Settings.
- Plan ItemsShot lists, timelines, gear and to-dos for each job, plus reusable templates by session type (Wedding, Family, Listing Photos and Newborn to start).
