@bentossell Hey Ben, thanks for asking! Momenteo is an accounting tool -- which mean in the end we output double entries for your accountant like he expects to.
What special about it is that we managed to broke down freelancer accounting to a simple question: what have you done today?
Using a calendar, you input what work you have done, any expenses you made and travels you did. From that, we generate all you need - invoices, tax report, accounting reports, reminders to your clients, online payment forms, etc.
Our goal is to keep it that simple.
Momento was originally a tool I developed for myself when I was a freelancer. It eventually grew into its current shape. I won't spam the full story here, I wrote a quick article about how it happened: https://www.momenteo.com/from-fr...
@bentossell Nice! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out either here, in-app support chat (I'll make sure to be the one to answer you!) or Twitter!
@dominicgoulet, so glad to see Momenteo featured on PH's awesome community. It always feels good to see startups from our Québec City hometown making some noise online. Like many others, I read your origin story blog post yesterday (congrats on the HN front page feature btw). Now that I know Momenteo's inspiring roots and where it comes from, I can't help but ask: where is it going? Where do you see Momenteo in, say, two years? I'd love to know a bit more about your vision for the product!
Cheers and congrats again. :)
@the_fln Thanks for the kind words!
Most importantly, We plan on addressing the #1 freelancer pain: getting paid. A lot of freelancers (about 50%) suffered last year from late payments and overdue invoices. We have a great plan to address this issue in a more clever way than just allowing you to be paid by credits card which *should* get you paid faster!
We also have plans to improve collaboration between the freelancer and his accountant. We currently have an accountant's portal, but we know there is a lot much more we can do than share the data between the two of them.
@dominicgoulet, I tried Zoho in the past as a freelancer and now am using Xero for the company. Will look into Mementeo's features for sure if I get freelancing work again. With Zoho, I truly had problems, Xero works well but is kind of expensive for a freelancer.
Late payment is always a problem, super curious to see how you'll address this :)
@martinroldan Thanks for the input! Xero is a fantastic system for SMB, but as a freelancer you probably use only a part of it and what you don't use is most probably getting in the way. Our goal is exactly that: provide what a freelancer needs. Nothing more, nothing less. At the right price.
