# Freelancers: Your office, free > For freelancers and the self-employed, alone or with one partner: quotes, invoices, clients, booking, and passwords in one place. Since the first two seats are free, it stays free for good. - Page: https://www.ciro-noise.de/loesungen/freelancer - Deutsche Fassung: https://www.ciro-noise.de/loesungen/freelancer.md For freelancers who write quotes in Word, number invoices in Excel, and hunt for clients in the inbox. In CIRO NOISE, the quote becomes the invoice, clients book your free times themselves, and it costs you nothing as long as there are two of you at most. - Free for up to two people - Quote becomes invoice - E-invoicing included ## You are an expert in your craft, not in admin A subscription for every tool: one for invoices, one for scheduling, one for passwords. You write quotes in Word, look up the last invoice number in a folder, and only notice who has not paid when your account looks empty. In CIRO NOISE, you write the quote once. When the client accepts it online, it becomes the invoice in one click, with a sequential number and as an e-invoice. Dunning shows you who has not paid. Every client has a record with quotes, invoices, notes, and follow-ups. Clients book your free times themselves, and your logins sit in the encrypted vault. For you and one partner, it costs nothing. ## How freelancers like you use CIRO NOISE Design, development, or writing: the workflows are the same. ### Design and writing: From quote to paid invoice You send a quote with chapters, the client accepts it via link, and the quote becomes the invoice. - Quotes with chapters and payment schedule - Client accepts online - Invoice in one click, as an e-invoice - Dunning in four stages ### Development and IT: Hours you actually bill You book time to the client's task. At month's end it becomes the invoice, rounded up to the started quarter hour. - Book time to task and client - Invoice from the month's hours - Client logins in the vault - Project room where the client follows along ### Consulting and training: Appointments without the back-and-forth Clients book your free times via a link. After the meeting, your notes become a summary with tasks. - Booking with your own office hours - Notes become a summary - Pitch page for the next quote - Receipts by photo for taxes ## This changes Fewer evenings of admin, no subscription for every tool. - **One tool instead of six subscriptions**: Quotes, invoices, clients, scheduling, pitch pages, and passwords in one place. Free for up to two people. - **The quote becomes the invoice**: The client accepts online, and the invoice is created with a sequential number, as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung. - **You know who still owes you**: Open items at a glance, and dunning reminds in four stages. - **Receipts for taxes by photo**: The AI reads amount, date, and vendor, and your tax advisor gets the DATEV export. ## The tools you start with This is where freelancers usually start: quotes and invoices, client records, notes, and the vault. The quote becomes the invoice, the client record shows what is open, and your logins are encrypted. When someone joins, every other feature is already there. - **Finance**: Quotes, invoices with e-invoicing, dunning, and receipts by photo - **Customers**: Client record with quotes, invoices, and follow-ups - **Meetings**: Notes from client meetings, summary with tasks - **Password manager**: Your logins and your clients', encrypted - **Knowledge & assistant**: “What hourly rate did I agree with client X?” – answer with a source ## Tell Claude.
