GlidePath Money

For side businesses & the self-employed

Run the business side of your money — without hiring a bookkeeper.

Freelance, an Etsy shop, a weekend gig, a single-member LLC: the Personal + Business tier turns the transactions you already track into invoices, a year-round Schedule C, mileage and home-office numbers, and a year-end pack your CPA opens in one folder — every figure traceable, computed on your machine.

Bookkeeping, not tax advice — the judgment calls stay with you and your CPA.

The business toolkit, one piece at a time.

Everything in Personal — the planning, the balance-transfer and subscription tools — plus the /Business workspace below.

Invoices

Create branded invoices, then file the ones that get paid.

Add a client and a few line items and you get a clean PDF with your own logo and brand color, ready to send in about a minute. When one gets paid, mark it Paid and GlidePath finds the matching deposit in your business account — one click records it as income on your Schedule C. The on-screen preview is exactly what your client receives. Walk through it →

Schedule C P&L

A Schedule C that’s basically done by December 31.

Map your spending categories to IRS Schedule C line numbers once, and every business transaction you categorize during the year flows to the right line automatically. The year-end report is a one-page P&L plus a clean CSV your CPA can work straight from — no retyping numbers off a PDF. See the full flow →

Mileage log

A mileage log built for tax time.

Log each trip — date, miles, business purpose — or bulk-import a whole year from MileIQ, Everlance, Stride, or any mileage CSV (kilometres convert automatically). GlidePath multiplies by the standard mileage rate for that tax year. Pick the standard-mileage or actual-expense method; it keeps you from accidentally double-dipping.

Home office

The home-office deduction, both ways.

Enter your office and home square footage and see the simplified method ($5/sq ft, up to 300 sq ft) next to an actual-expense estimate, so you can see which is likely worth more before you (or your CPA) decide.

Asset depreciation

Equipment depreciation, tracked.

Bought a laptop, a camera, a work vehicle? GlidePath tracks Section 179 and the MACRS 5- and 7-year schedules so the deduction shows up on the right year’s Schedule C instead of getting forgotten.

1099 prep

See who might need a 1099 before January.

GlidePath totals what you paid each contractor and flags who crossed the reporting threshold — so filing season isn’t a scramble to reconstruct who you paid and how much. (Corporations and card/PayPal payments are exempt — confirm before you file.)

Accountant pack

Hand your CPA one folder, not a shoebox.

One click builds a year-end ZIP — the P&L, the supporting worksheets, the category CSVs, and a plain-English README. Email it to your accountant and they have everything in one place, already organized by Schedule C line.

From “I did the work” to “my taxes are basically done.”

The pieces above aren’t separate apps stapled together — they’re one workflow on one ledger. Here’s the whole loop, start to finish.

One side-business year, end to end Acme Web Studio · a one-person design shop

  1. Bill the work. Create a branded invoice for the project and send the PDF.
  2. Get paid. The client’s deposit lands in your business account and imports like any other transaction (CSV, forwarded email, or the browser extension).
  3. Record it. Mark the invoice Paid; GlidePath matches the deposit and files it under Schedule C gross receipts in one click — never silently, you confirm the match.
  4. Categorize as you go. Your business expenses already map to their Schedule C lines, so the P&L fills in across the year.
  5. Hand it off. In December, the Accountant Pack ZIP bundles the whole thing for your CPA — or you transfer the numbers straight onto the form.

Income comes from the real deposit in your account, not from the invoice itself — so what lands on your Schedule C is what actually hit the bank. Cash-basis, verifiable, and computed entirely on your machine.

The branded sheet your client receives — marker by marker. Add a client and a few line items, and this is exactly what downloads as the PDF.
GlidePath Money invoice preview for Acme Web Studio billing Northwind Traders, with five numbered markers: business identity, invoice number and dates, the bill-to client, the line items, and the total.
  1. Your business identity Your logo, name, and contact details sit at the top of every invoice — set them once and they’re always there.
  2. Numbered and dated A running invoice number plus the issue and due dates, filled in for you.
  3. Who you’re billing Save each client’s details once, then pick them from a list the next time you bill them.
  4. Line items that add up Describe the work with a quantity and rate; GlidePath totals each line and the invoice for you.
  5. Total — and one-click income When the client’s deposit lands, mark it Paid and file it as Schedule C income in a single click.
The Schedule C that workflow produces

Acme Web Studio’s year, organized to match IRS Form 1040 Schedule C — income up top, expenses mapped line by line, with depreciation and the home-office deduction folded in. (Sample data; figures are illustrative.)

GlidePath Money Schedule C preview for a sample one-person design studio: $31,000 gross receipts and $31,000 gross income; expenses for advertising, contract labor, depreciation, office, supplies, travel, meals, and utilities totaling $11,420; a $750 home-office deduction; and $18,830 net profit.

Every figure traces back to a categorized transaction on your business account — nothing typed twice.
