Freelance graphic designer
Client: Clara L., freelance graphic designer and illustrator (self-employed for 5 years).
Background
Clara works with around ten regular clients and several one-off projects each month. Before Dirigeoo, she managed everything with Excel spreadsheets, her online bank and a few separate invoicing tools. Tracking payments and cash flow was time-consuming and stressful, especially when juggling several projects.
The problem
- Scattered management: Excel for invoices, another file for cash flow tracking.
- Frequent late payments, with a risk of going overdrawn.
- No overview of her business: which projects bring in the most, which clients are late paying.
- No easy way to simulate her taxes.

The Dirigeoo solution
- Centralised data: all invoices and quotes brought together in a single dashboard.
- Automated payment tracking: Clara is notified as soon as a payment is made or becomes overdue.
- Cash flow dashboard: a clear view of money coming in and going out, with 30-day forecasts.
- Corporate tax simulator: she can calculate her corporate tax directly from the platform, with a simulation in just a few clicks.
Results
- Time saved: bookkeeping cut from 5 hours a week to just 1 hour.
- Full visibility: Clara can track incoming payments and pending quotes, and anticipate her financial needs.
- Peace of mind: no more stress about late payments or tax deadlines.
- Higher productivity: Clara spends more time on creative work and on her clients.
Testimonial
“Before Dirigeoo, I spent hours cross-checking my Excel spreadsheets and checking my payments. Today, I can see everything at a glance and focus on my creative work. It’s a real copilot!”
