Between the French client on standard VAT, the European client on reverse charge, and sometimes a non-EU client paid in dollars, a developer freelancer's invoicing quickly becomes a headache. Add retainers on a fixed fee, monthly invoices in consulting, and it is easy to lose track of late payments.
Our ranking, from the most suited to micro-business or EURL to the most complete if you already work with an accountant.
