IndieHQ was created to solve a real problem: helping independent professionals manage their finances without the complexity of traditional business software.
“I built IndieHQ because I needed it myself. Simple as that.”
— Founder, IndieHQ
From frustration to solution - how a nursing professional's side hustle led to building the invoicing tool freelancers actually want to use.
As a self-taught developer working agency nursing shifts, I struggled to track expenses, invoices, and payments. Excel sheets were messy, email chains were chaotic, and existing tools like QuickBooks felt overwhelming and expensive.
I realized thousands of freelancers face the same challenge - they need simple tools that work, not enterprise software built for large companies. Why should tracking a £50 expense require learning complex accounting software?
IndieHQ was born from this frustration. A modern, fast, and intuitive app that helps freelancers manage their business finances without the complexity, cost, or learning curve of traditional tools.
To help freelancers and independent professionals transition from emails and Excel sheets to a modern, intuitive app that makes financial management faster, tidier, and more stylish.
“We believe that managing your business finances shouldn't require a degree in accounting or hours of training. It should just work.”

As a self-taught developer with a nursing background, I understand what it's like to work independently and manage multiple income streams.
Working agency nursing shifts while building websites and apps for friends and colleagues gave me firsthand experience with the challenges freelancers face every day.
The constant juggling of expenses, and payments - all while trying to focus on the actual work - was frustrating and time-consuming.
That's why IndieHQ exists: to give you back time to focus on what you do best.
