Schedule C Software is my pet project.The financial tools currently available to the service industry (hair stylists, barbers, masseurs, estheticians...) are horribly broken and rarely used by the professionals in these industries. Accounting tools with a steep setup and learning curve, poor user experience, or a focus on invoice creation are simply not well suited for the pay as you go service industry. The apps available today fall way to paper notepads or clunky spreadsheets. Schedule C is changing the paradigm by creating a client centric model that fits right into the service professionals daily routine. Customer service and productivity are actually improved with access to real-time client insights. Financial data is automatically captured and recorded, with detailed reporting becoming available with no data entry or fumbling with accounting software.The goal of Schedule C Software is to build productivity tools that are incredibly easy to use and adopt, and deliver financial reporting and insights with no effort needed from the service professional.
