Bill every hour.
Keep every rupee.
Track hours, invoice clients, get paid on time — and keep the money you earn. HourSlip catches the TDS your clients deduct, plans your advance tax, and hands your CA an ITR-ready year-end pack they can sign off in one sitting. GST-registered or not.
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 money you keep at the end of the year. Nothing gets re-typed, and nothing leaks on the way.

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.
