Could an app help freelancers plan for irregular income and upcoming bills?

A planning app could help freelancers organise expected income, confirmed receipts and future bills. It should distinguish a forecast from money already available, especially when customer payment dates are uncertain.

Users need to edit assumptions and see how a delayed invoice changes the picture. Connections to bank or accounting data require suitable services and permissions. Private financial information should be minimised and protected.

Start with a manual planning view and test late payments, cancelled work and irregular expenses. The app can support organisation and scenario planning without recommending investments, promising financial outcomes or presenting estimated tax figures as professional advice. Any move into regulated functionality requires appropriate specialist review before that scope is offered.
