Frequently asked
What's the best accounting software for freelancers?
If you're a full-time accountant for an agency, QuickBooks Self-Employed works. If you're a freelancer, gig worker, or side hustler who just needs to track income, expenses, mileage, and what you owe in taxes, Stash is faster, cheaper, and built around your actual workflow.
Do I need accounting software as a freelancer?
Once you make $400+ in self-employment income, the IRS expects you to report it and pay self-employment tax. Tracking everything in a spreadsheet works until tax season, then it doesn't. Stash logs income and expenses as they happen and tells you what you owe in real time.
How is Stash different from QuickBooks or FreshBooks?
QuickBooks and FreshBooks are built for businesses with employees, clients, and invoices. Stash is built for one person tracking gigs across DoorDash, Uber, Venmo, Cash App, and direct clients — with a tax estimate that updates every time you log income.
Can I deduct mileage with Stash?
Yes. Log each trip (or import them) and Stash applies the current IRS standard mileage rate so the deduction shows up automatically on your Schedule C preview.
