From hour worked
to ITR ready.
Track hours, raise GST invoices, reconcile TDS, plan advance tax, and walk into March with an ITR-4 pack your CA can sign off on in one sitting. India's 15M+ self-employed professionals deserve software that knows Section 44ADA.
All five workflows, one tool.
Most freelance stacks are five tabs, a spreadsheet, and a March panic. HourSlip is one continuous loop — your tracked hours become your invoices become your tax filings become the ITR pack you hand your CA. Nothing gets re-typed.

Why I built HourSlip.
Why a freelancer built a finance tool for Indian freelancers — and the promise behind it.
I freelanced for Indian clients for years — and dreaded every March, rebuilding a whole year of GST, TDS and invoices from a folder of PDFs.
HourSlip is the tool I wished existed: one ledger that tracks your hours, raises GST-correct invoices, and keeps your tax filing-ready — in rupees, April to March.
Every hour you spend reconstructing your books is an hour you weren't paid for. HourSlip gives that time back — handling the GST splits, TDS and advance tax the way India actually works, so March stops being a scramble.
