For Mobile Professionals

Track Cash Income.Know Which Clients Are Worth the Drive.

You drive 40 minutes to a client, do the work, drive back, and have no idea if you made money on that visit. Velvet Ledger does that math for you, including travel time and gas — and keeps every client in your own book that's yours to keep and export anytime.

Sound Familiar?

You're not alone. Here's what mobile professionals tell us:

Making $80K/year but can't prove it
Apartment applications denied because 70% of your income is cash with no paystubs to show landlords.
No idea which clients are profitable
Client A pays $300 but requires 45-min drive. Client B pays $200 with 5-min drive. Which is better? You don't know.
Spending 8+ hours/month on spreadsheets
Tracking income in one tab, expenses in another, formulas breaking every time you add a row.
Travel costs eating your margins
You think you made $5,000 this month, but after gas, time, and unpaid travel, it's really $3,200.
The Tool Fragmentation Problem

How Many Apps Are You Juggling?

Most mobile professionals use 4-6 separate tools: Square for payments, spreadsheets for tracking, Calendly for scheduling, QuickBooks for taxes, and mental math for profitability.

The hidden cost: Every time you switch between apps, you lose ~23 minutes of focus. For mobile professionals managing clients between appointments, this adds up to 3-5 hours/week—time you could spend with paying clients.

The real question: Can you answer "which clients are worth my drive time?" in 30 seconds? If not, your tools aren't working for you.

Velvet Ledger consolidates everything

Contacts, income tracking, time tracking, profitability calculations, expense management, and income proof reports. One app instead of six. Test it at $0, upgrade to $9.99/mo when you're ready.

Between stops, type it the way you'd say it — "Tyler paid $300 Venmo for the install, follow up next week" — and Velvet Ledger files the payment, the client, and the follow-up. No forms, no "I'll do it tonight."

Plain words, sorted for you

It picks out the amount, the date, the payment method, and which client you mean — no fields to fill.

Capture between stops

Income, appointments, and notes logged in seconds — before the next job and before you forget.

Nothing falls through

Turn "I'll log it later" into "it's already logged" — so your numbers and follow-ups stay current.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already use Square for payments. Why do I need this?

Square shows revenue. Velvet Ledger shows profitability (revenue minus travel time, supplies, expenses). Huge difference. Square tells you "you made $5,000 this month." Velvet Ledger tells you "Client A made you $180/hr, Client B made you $95/hr — focus on Client A."

Can I track cash income?

Yes. Add cash transactions manually or import from bank deposits. Generate professional income proof reports for landlords, mortgage lenders, or loan applications.

How long does setup take?

Usually minutes to get started, then you can refine as you go. Import clients, log income and expenses, and add more detail when it’s worth it.

Does this work for booth renters?

Absolutely. Track booth rent as a fixed expense, see profitability per service type, compare multiple booth locations if you rent at different salons.

What if I have multiple income streams?

Perfect use case. Track mobile services + product sales + online courses all in one place. See which income stream is most profitable per hour.

Is my data secure?

Yes. EU-hosted. No data selling. No bank connection. Minimal analytics.
