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
- Bill the work. Create a branded invoice for the project and send the PDF.
- Get paid. The client’s deposit lands in your business account and imports like any other transaction (CSV, forwarded email, or the browser extension).
- 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.
- Categorize as you go. Your business expenses already map to their Schedule C lines, so the P&L fills in across the year.
- 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.
- Your business identity Your logo, name, and contact details sit at the top of every invoice — set them once and they’re always there.
- Numbered and dated A running invoice number plus the issue and due dates, filled in for you.
- Who you’re billing Save each client’s details once, then pick them from a list the next time you bill them.
- Line items that add up Describe the work with a quantity and rate; GlidePath totals each line and the invoice for you.
- 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.
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.)
Every figure traces back to a categorized transaction on your business account — nothing typed twice.
Already file a Schedule C? This is for you.
