What counts as a service business here?

Any business that bills customers for work and pays other people to help deliver it. Agencies, studios, production companies, contractors and trades, consultants, independent professionals, local recurring services, and freelancers all run the same money shape: invoices out, vendor bills in, margin per job.

I run a production or creative studio. Is there a page for me?

Yes. Production and creative studios fit the agencies and studios shape: you bill brands and customers, you pay crew and vendors to deliver, and you want margin per project. Start on the agencies page and tell us if your workflow is different.

Do I have to pick one industry?

No. These pages are examples of the same product from different angles. Whichever one is closest to how you work, the ledger underneath is identical. Pick the nearest shape and go.

Can I bring my existing data across?

Yes. Wrenbase imports customers, vendors, invoices, and transactions from CSV. If you run on spreadsheets today, that is exactly what imports cleanly.

The shape you share

Different trades. Same money in, money out.

Money comes in from customers and goes out to the people who help you deliver, in different tools that never agree, so the one thing you want, what a job actually made, waits until you rebuild it in a spreadsheet. Wrenbase puts both sides on one ledger, so that number is just there.

You bill customers

Retainer, project, hourly, or milestone. Different cadences per customer, all on one schedule that sends itself.

You pay people to deliver

Subcontractors, freelancers, production crews, software vendors. Bills come in through one screened inbox.

You want to know the margin

What you billed minus what you paid out, live per project, not assembled from spreadsheets at month-end.

Not just admin

Doing the money and knowing the money, same act.

Because every invoice and bill lands on one ledger, sending them is also how you learn where you stand. Cash Pulse reads both sides and tells you what's coming in, what you owe, and whether you're ahead this month, no separate bookkeeping step, no waiting for your accountant.
