People often ask us what the Geseto app looks like once it is actually in use. This page answers that with eleven real-world setups, from a wedding photographer logging mileage to a translator splitting invoices across three currencies. Each one shows what the person needed and how they set the app up.
Each card below describes one freelancer's situation. Open the details to see what we configured and what changed in their day-to-day bookkeeping. Names are first names only, and the figures are kept general.
Photography
A Leeds photographer drove to venues across West Yorkshire most weekends and lost track of fuel and mileage. We set up trip categories and receipt capture so every journey is logged in under ten seconds.
Translation
A translator invoiced agencies in pounds, euros and dollars. We built a view that shows each payment in its original currency and in pounds, so the monthly total is never a guess.
Web Development
A web developer ran four client projects at once and could not tell which one paid best. We tagged income and costs per project so profit per job is visible at a glance.
Design
A graphic designer was paying for nine software subscriptions and forgot half of them. We grouped recurring costs into one list with renewal reminders, which made the unused ones easy to spot and cancel.
Writing
A copywriter dreaded the January self-assessment bill. We added a running tax pot that sets aside a chosen share of each payment, so the money is already put away when the deadline arrives.
Fitness
A personal trainer took cash, bank transfers and card payments across gyms and park sessions. We created quick-entry buttons per client so each payment is recorded right after the session ends.
Video
A video editor bought cameras, drives and lenses through the year. We set up an equipment category with photo receipts attached, giving a clean list to hand over at tax time.
Tutoring
A maths tutor taught evenings and weekends and wanted to see whether the hours were worth it. We built a weekly chart of income against time spent, which showed which students were most worthwhile to teach.
Consulting
A consultant had several invoices sitting unpaid for weeks. We added due-date alerts and a simple overdue list, so chasing payments became a five-minute Monday task instead of a vague worry.
Illustration
An illustrator working from a spare room was unsure how to split electricity, broadband and rent between home and business. We set up shared-cost rules with a fixed percentage, applied automatically to each bill.
Year-End Reports
A freelance marketer needed to send a tidy summary to their accountant each April. We built a one-tap export grouping income and expenses by category, with receipts linked, so no spreadsheet clean-up is needed.
If you are wondering what happens after you get in touch, here is the order we follow. Most setups take a few short conversations, not weeks of back-and-forth.
We ask how you earn, how you get paid and what currently goes wrong. We usually reply to a request within an hour during opening times.
Together we list your income types and cost types, then turn them into categories that match how you already think about your work.
We set up tags, recurring costs, reminders and any currency or mileage rules, then walk through each screen with you on your own phone.
After a few weeks we look at your entries together, fix anything that feels clumsy and adjust the categories if your work has shifted.
Tell us how you earn and what you track today. We will suggest a layout and explain it in plain terms before you commit to anything.
