Mizoho is a mobile app for logging income and expenses when you work for yourself. Since 2019 our team of 20 has handled 1234 completed jobs for 980 clients, and 220 of them came back for a second one. Below are six examples of how the app was configured for different trades and working patterns.
A sole trader in Headingley needed to separate materials bought for each job from general van costs. We set up job tags, a receipt photo step and a weekly summary that shows what was invoiced against what was spent.
Camera hire, travel to shoots, editing software and venue fees all needed their own categories. The photographer now logs each cost on site and exports a clean monthly list ready to pass on to an accountant.
A part-time courier working around Roundhay and Chapel Allerton records trip distance and fuel in one entry. The app keeps a running total of miles and shows how fuel spending moves from week to week.
Payments from several clients arrive at different times. We built a view that lists sent, paid and overdue invoices, so a freelance writer can see at a glance which payments are still outstanding after 30 days.
A stall holder with uneven takings across the year wanted to see patterns. The app groups cash and card sales by month and plots them next to stock costs, which helps with planning purchases for slower weeks.
A private tutor wanted to avoid a surprise at the end of the tax year. We added a set-aside figure that updates as income is logged, with a reminder before the January self-assessment deadline.
Send a short note about your trade, how you invoice and what you find hardest to keep track of. We reply within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday.
