Personalized financial dashboards and coaching designed for freelancers.
This business provides a unique blend of personalized financial dashboards and one-on-one coaching for freelancers. The founder builds custom Google Sheets templates with Apps Script automations that track income, expenses, and estimated taxes, then coaches clients on how to use them effectively. The service starts at a one-time setup fee of $150-$300 including the dashboard build and an initial coaching call. Monthly coaching subscriptions ($75-$150) offer ongoing support, dashboard updates, and accountability. Marketing focuses on content (blog, social media) targeting freelancer communities, leveraging SEO and partnerships with gig platforms. With a part-time commitment of 10 hours per week, the founder can serve 5-10 clients monthly, generating a scalable side income. The business requires moderate development skills, financial knowledge, and consulting ability, making it accessible after some self-study.
The independent workforce is growing rapidly, yet most financial tools ignore the irregular income patterns of freelancers. Recent tax law changes and gig economy expansion have heightened the need for affordable, personalized financial guidance.
