If you bill by the hour,
you need this.
Solo freelancer or 500-person agency. Doesn't matter. If time is how you make money, your current setup is costing you hours every week. We know because we lived it.
You wear every hat. Stop letting billing be the ugly one.
You're the salesperson, the developer, the project manager, and the accountant. Four jobs. One person. The billing part should take minutes, not hours. Every hour you spend chasing invoices is an hour you didn't bill.
- ✓ One-click timer. Start work, stop work. That's the whole process.
- ✓ Invoices generated from your tracked hours in seconds
- ✓ Clients pay directly from the invoice via Stripe. No "check's in the mail."
- ✓ See which clients make you money and which ones waste your time
Contractors are not employees. Stop using payroll tools for billing.
Every contractor has a different rate, a different schedule, and a different tax situation. Gusto and Rippling don't handle this. A spreadsheet barely handles this. Miru was built for exactly this.
- ✓ Different rates per contractor, per project. Finally.
- ✓ Contractors log their own hours. You approve them. Done.
- ✓ Invoices generated from approved time. No re-keying.
- ✓ Export everything your accountant needs for 1099s
Your spreadsheet invoice makes you look amateur.
Consultants, designers, writers, coaches. You're good at what you do. Your billing should reflect that. A PDF template you found on Google in 2019 is not a billing system.
- ✓ Branded invoices with your logo. Look like you have an accounting department.
- ✓ Billable vs. non-billable hours tracked separately
- ✓ Expense tracking that makes tax season less painful
- ✓ Revenue reports that show you when you're undercharging
Your spreadsheet broke at 10 people. Admit it.
More people, more clients, more projects. The spreadsheet died months ago and you're pretending it didn't. Miru scales from 5 to 500 people at $1/person. Not $12. Not $15. One dollar.
- ✓ Role-based permissions so interns can't see client rates
- ✓ Project profitability that tells you which work is worth doing
- ✓ Leave management without buying yet another HR tool
- ✓ Six report types. Real answers, not vanity dashboards.
Stop renting your tools from people who don't care about you.
Enterprise SaaS means a $50K/yr contract, a 12-month lock-in, and a "customer success manager" whose job is to upsell you. Miru is open source. Self-host it. Own it. Fire your vendor.
- ✓ Your infrastructure. Your servers. Your data. Period.
- ✓ SSO/SAML so your security team stops complaining
- ✓ Full API for the integrations your team actually needs
- ✓ SLA guarantees for when you need someone to call at 2am
