Essential Tools for Freelance Finance Experts (And Why GigLink Is the One You Can’t Skip)

Freelance finance professionals are in high demand — from accountants and bookkeepers to CFOs and financial analysts. But thriving in the freelance world takes more than just technical expertise. You need the right tools, systems, and platform to streamline your work, attract high-quality clients, and get paid on time.

That’s where GigLink leads the way.

2. 🧾 Xero, QuickBooks & MYOB

These remain the backbone for many finance freelancers. Whether you're managing client books, running payroll, or lodging BAS, you’ll want to stay sharp with the platform your clients use — and ideally, be certified in one or more.

3. 📈 Fathom or Spotlight Reporting

For finance freelancers who provide advisory services, tools like Fathom or Spotlight Reporting can turn client data into slick dashboards and powerful reports.

4. 📎 Dext or Hubdoc

Automate receipt and invoice capture with tools like Dext or Hubdoc. These save hours of data entry and sync directly with accounting software.

5. 🤖 Excel + Power Query / Google Sheets + Add-ons

Still the most flexible tools in your kit. Whether you’re building cash flow models or cleaning large data sets, Power Query and add-ons like Sheetgo or Layer give freelancers the edge.

6. 📤 Loom / Zoom / Calendly

Communicate clearly, present reports, or onboard clients remotely with tools like Loom (for video walkthroughs), Zoom (for meetings), and Calendly (for scheduling).

7. 🧮 Rounded

For solo finance freelancers who don’t want to spend time on their own accounting, Rounded is a freelancer-friendly app that tracks income, expenses, GST, and invoicing.
