Customise your invoices and get paid faster

Customise quote and invoice templates in a way other freelancers can only dream of. Unless they have Pandle too. Set credit terms, schedule automated payment reminders, and use Pandle Pay to get paid up to 3x faster. It’s easier to focus on a project when you’ve been paid for the previous one.

Predict the future and your tax bill

You don’t want an unexpected tax bill taking the wind out of your sails. Pandle automatically recalculates your freelancing tax estimate each time you add or update a transaction. Remember to upload receipts and invoices for any allowable expenses. We don’t want you paying more tax than you should.

Bookkeeping is boring and time-consuming

So we automated the tedious bits. It means you can do things like enter transactions without hours of typing, and categorise payments automatically. Spend more time promoting your freelance services and less time on data-entry. It’s a kind of magic. Don’t come for us Queen, we’re big fans.

A bookkeeping support team in your pocket

You’ll connect with all sorts of people who can help you as a freelancer. Why should your bookkeeping be any different? Pandle might be accounts software, but it’s supported by real people. Our support team are here whenever you need them.

Bookkeeping software

Brilliant accounting software

I recommend Pandle to anyone who asks for invoicing software. Simple to use, intuitive and the support is quick and efficient. Recently had some queries that were quickly answered by James and Henry.

Awesome experience

Awesome experience, customer support is great, interface is simple and intuitive whilst being powerful enough for everything you might need, whilst keeping the stuff you don’t out of sight. Truly the first accounting software I’ve used and actually got on with…oh and did I mention the supports great!

Sam

Great package for a small business start-up

We are a small business start-up. Your online bookkeeping package is just what we needed to get going. Simple, intuitive and easy to use. Lots of help provided. No snags found so far. Thanks!

Goodbye frustrating XERO, Hello Pandle

After years of frustration with Xero, I finally found Pandle. Super user friendly, live chat support by kind and professional staff, everything is smooth and easy. Special mention goes to their staff member Beth. I highly recommend Pandle.

Connor from Pandle web support was great
Had a technical issue with the Pandle service causing some of my balances not to match up, despite all transactions being correct. Connor assisted with liaising with the developer team to rectify the issue in a timely manner and kept me updated via web chat. Super useful to actually have a way of contacting human support that responds quickly and is helpful in fixing issues – rare in today’s technology sphere.

FEATURES

Accounting tools for freelancers

Some things are worth the risk. Like that takeaway on your way home. Your accounting software should be risk-free. Pandle’s accounting tools and features help you manage your financial records more accurately.

Reduce bookkeeping errors

Help for tired eyes

Lock completed transactions to avoid accidental edits creating painful errors. Duplicated something you shouldn’t have? Edit multiple transactions in bulk to make changes all at once.

Keep everyone in the loop

Instead of in the dark

Create general notes, or attach them to transactions, customer or supplier profiles, and accounts so everyone’s on the same page. Keep it profesh though. It’s easy to overshare.

Save more time

Don't repeat yourself

Schedule recurring invoices, automatically calculate currencies, manage multiple businesses… You’re on fire (not literally). You need software that can keep up.

Manual data entry not your thing? Same here. Connect your bank accounts and payment platforms, and watch transactions appear in your bookkeeping. Or just let it happen whilst you do something else. Up to you really.

Automated Bank Feeds

You money maker

Don’t waste hours copying transactions. Connect accounts to Pandle to create bookkeeping entries automatically, exactly as they appear in the bank. You might even get an early night.

Customised bank rules

Bespoke banking

Create custom bank rules to categorise transactions, match payments and assign tax rules so your banking is organised as if by magic. You can take the credit. We’ll let you have it.

Effortless imports

Not angry uploads

Download bank statements, and upload them straight into Pandle to enter transactions without all the typing. Create custom formatting templates so columns are ordered correctly.

Sharing is caring, but everyone has their limits. Collaborate seamlessly with your accountant and other people in your business. Stay in control of who sees what. Resist the urge to shriek “unlimited power”.

Add unlimited users

Without paying extra

Restrictive user licenses? No thanks. Add as many user profiles to your Pandle account as you need to, without being charged extra just for having a little help around the place.

Control access to data

Like a GDPR bouncer

Protect data from prying eyes. Set permissions to manage individual or group access. Assign roles and allow read-only or editing rights to control what users can see and do.

Collaboration tools

Don't miss a trick

More organised than the first page of a notebook. Access documents simultaneously, and add notes to specific records or as a general reminder, so everyone knows what’s what.

We all love seeing the money come in. Nobody loves extra admin. So we made invoicing easier. Customise invoice templates, accept payments, schedule recurring transactions, and automate payment reminders.

Customisable invoices

So you can be you

Stay on brand everywhere, even invoices and quotes. Upload your logo and edit template text to help you make the right impression. Wonky PDFs are a thing of your past.

Get paid 3 x faster

Show me the money

Add a payment button to every single invoice so customers can pay you more easily. Schedule automatic payment reminders to give them a nudge, and protect your cash flow and sanity.

Customers and suppliers

Organised, not chaos

Create customer and supplier profiles to populate documents consistently. Set default payment terms and manage credit limits. Simpler than a day at the spa.

Manage inventory in the same place you do your bookkeeping. Use Items to automatically track stock levels in real-time, and create invoices and quotes faster by selecting pre-populated details.

Unlimited items

Room to grow

We don’t cap how many listings you can create. Enter as many items as you need to. No more memorising prices and tax codes, or writing out descriptions more than once.

Inventory software

Organise like a pro

Create untracked items to manage the services your business buys, sells, or doesn’t need to track – without complicating things. Unlike the magician who stole your shoes.

Monitor stock levels

Be unproblematic

Automatically update your records each time you create an invoice, and get alerts if there isn’t enough stock to fulfil an order so you can decide what to do next.

Log each and every business trip from the small journeys to the long-haul drives. Automatically record your miles as you go, or manually enter your route on the days when your phone battery didn’t make it.

Claim mileage expenses

Never miss a trick

Automatically work out mileage claims based on the distance travelled and vehicle used. Save them in your accounts. The boss begged us not to joke about giving expenses the green light.

Record every mile

Eyes on the road

Enter journeys manually, reuse previous routes, or use the automatic tracker to record trips from start to finish. Just pause it before you go through the drive through. Now give us a chip.

Create vehicle profiles

Oh, you love your cars

Create a profile for every vehicle your business uses. Select the car (van, motorbike, tank…) from the list to populate your next entry and claim mileage at the correct rate every time.

You can watch cat videos when you’re on the bus. You should be able to run your business from there too. Manage invoices, upload receipts, track mileage and take care of your banking with Pandle Mobile.

Invoices and quotes

Everywhere you go

Don’t let things pile up so there’s work waiting when you get home. Definitely don’t miss out on work because you were out. Create, send and manage invoices wherever you are.

Record expenses

You receipt hoarder

That old shoe box should be thrown in the bin. Snap receipts and upload them to the relevant transaction. Enter journeys to track mileage. You’re a paperless expense wizard, baby.

Manage your banking

No manic panic

Review transactions, allocate payments, tag projects, mark invoices as paid, categorise expenses and assign tax codes. So you can concentrate on shouting “Honey I’m home.”

Track the profitability of every project in real time, without taking a stab in the dark. That’s a major health and safety issue. Create separate projects even if they’re for the same client, and tag transactions and documents.

Manage project budgets

For the big spenders

We don’t want you out of pocket, or making awkward calls to your client. Our beautiful colour coded financial reports allow you to watch those budgets like a hawk. Or an owl.

Track profitability

Watch that cash

Record expenses and upload receipts to the right projects to manage who owes you what. Compare income and spending to see where you’re taking a hit, and what keeps the lights on.

Control cash flow

And reduce stress

Do you have everything you need to complete a job? Plan ahead to see how much cash is needed and when, and work out whether to bill clients up-front, as you go, or on delivery.

Claim expenses like it’s second nature. Photograph and upload receipts, and import documents and email attachments. Save them in the general folder or attach them to the relevant transaction. Organised, isn’t it?

Track your expenses

Don't miss out

Claim every business expense you’re entitled to. Snap receipts, and upload any relevant documents you receive. Cat photos can be sent straight to our marketing team.

Paperless records

Sustainability, sweetie

Receipts under the bed. Behind the sofa. In random drawers. Under the cat’s litter box. How about uploading receipts straight into Pandle, in any document format you need?

Stress free tax returns

But still boring

We can’t make tax returns fun, but we can make them easier. Well-organised documents enhance the accuracy of your bookkeeping. You’ll be your accountant’s favourite client.

Frozen with indecision? Not sure what to do for the best? Check the real-time status and performance of your business finances with easy-to-understand reports. Make well-informed business decisions the norm.

The full financial picture

Like a business selfie

Pandle automatically updates your financial reports in real-time, so you’ll always have the data you need to make reliable decisions. It’s a much better look than random guesswork.

Plan your growth

Without crystal balls

View trends, set goals and understand cash flow fluctuations so you can plan ahead. Predict the future of your business without having to guess its star sign.

Deeper understanding

Know your figures

Financial analysis deeper than the Mariana Trench. But easier to access. View reports in real-time, send them to someone else, and export data to get into the nuts and bolts of things.

We love our team of bookkeepers. Speak to them using Live Chat support in just a couple of clicks, or find product tours and dedicated guides in the Pandle Help Centre. You have a question; we have the answer.

Live Chat Support

Feel at home

Have a burning question? Ask away and receive an answer in less than 10 minutes. We won’t go full cheese and call our bookkeepers superheroes. But they’re very nice and helpful.

Improve data accuracy

Exterminating errors

Mistakes are rubbish and stressful and time consuming. Pandle will flag anything that looks like it could be an error, so you can take a second look. It doesn’t work on your ex. Soz.

Articles and guides

Extra! Extra!

Read guides and articles, watch videos, take product tours, or check out our FAQs. Get to grips with every aspect of running a business and using accounting software.

Manage VAT with less stress. MTD-compliant VAT records, and returns you can submit directly to HMRC. Less time on VAT, more for your cat. Disclaimer: other household pets and hobbies are also available.

Know what you owe

No more VAT scaries

Finding out your VAT bill can be more startling than the camera opening in selfie mode. Pandle updates your VAT calculation in real-time, so you always know what’s coming.

Reclaim VAT

It makes sense

Pandle’s algorithms will flag any transactions that might have the wrong tax code so you can double-check you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to. Like Robin Hood for VAT.

Save time

Still dull. But quicker.

Tedious data entry? No thanks. Hopping back and forth from spreadsheets to software? Nah. Keep MTD-compliant VAT records in the same software you use to submit your return.

LIVE CHAT SUPPORT

Talk to our bookkeepers. Someone has to.

Get the most out of Pandle with built-in tours, guides and live chat support provided by real people.

It’s like putting a bookkeeper in your pocket. Just don’t leave any snacks in there with them. We can’t guarantee their safety.
