From paid invoice to ledger in one step
Most invoice tools stop when the PDF is sent. You still copy the deposit into a spreadsheet or accounting app - and that is where tax set-asides and month totals fall behind.
Omonido closes that gap on-device: update payment status, save, and the ledger updates so Cash flow can reflect what actually landed.
The double-entry tax people skip
When a client pays, two things matter for freelancers: income went up, and some of that cash may need to be treated as reserved for taxes. Doing only one of those in a notes app leads to false surplus.
Syncing both at payment time keeps the story consistent without a separate bookkeeping session for every deposit.
What "Save & sync ledger" does
When you mark an invoice paid (or partial) and save, Omonido posts or updates a client income transaction linked to that invoice, and posts a tax reserve transfer using your Settings percent.
If you later reduce or clear the paid amount, the studio adjusts those linked ledger rows so you are not stuck with stale income.
Review the month afterward
Open Cash flow to see paid this month, AR still outstanding, tax reserve, and surplus. Overdue invoices and a thin tax reserve can surface as alerts during Beta.
Add expenses in Transactions so software and contractor costs sit beside invoice income. That is how "the month worked" becomes a real question instead of a guess.
A simple weekly habit
1) Create or update invoices as work ships. 2) When money hits your account, mark paid and save. 3) Log major expenses. 4) Skim Cash flow once a week. That loop is the product - not a dashboard of vanity charts.
