Stop guessing.
Start knowing.
Every account. Every transaction. Every dollar — categorized, visualized, and connected directly to your studio's invoices. No spreadsheet. No guesswork.
No credit card required. Connect your bank in under 2 minutes.
The Real Problem
You built a studio. Not a financial mess.
You check your bank app. Then your payment dashboard. Then a spreadsheet you haven't updated in three weeks. Then you make a guess.
You don't know if that deposit was from Invoice #88 or the retainer from two months ago. So you don't know if you're profitable.
Tax season arrives. You spend two weekends reconstructing what already happened instead of building what's next.
Your competitors know their numbers. They make faster decisions. They grow. You're still reconciling.
The Financial Command Center fixes this — completely.
One dashboard. Real-time data. Connected to every invoice you've ever sent.
Connected Banking
Every account.
One dashboard.
Always current.

Transaction Intelligence
Not just a list.
A picture of
your money moving.
Every transaction is categorized, color-coded, and searchable. Drill into any row to see the full story. Filter by date, vendor, or amount in seconds.
And when a transaction is client income — seashellOS connects it directly to the invoice that generated it. No other studio platform does this.
Budget System
Set limits. Watch progress.
Never overspend silently.
Monthly budgets by category. Actual spending tracked in real-time from your bank feed. Alerts before you hit the ceiling — not after.
Spending is pulled directly from your connected bank feed — automatically, no manual entry.
Real-Time Tax Estimates
Quarterly taxes —
never a surprise.
seashellOS tracks your income and calculates your estimated quarterly tax liability in real-time. Not once a year. Not at 11pm in April. Right now, as you earn.
Estimates are calculated from your connected bank data and invoices. Not tax advice — consult your accountant.
Your bank data,
connected to your
actual studio revenue.
When a deposit hits your account, seashellOS matches it to the invoice that generated it. Automatically. No manual tagging. No guessing which payment is which.
- Invoice-to-deposit matching, automatic
- Income categorized by client, project, or service
- Reconciliation happens in the background
Cash Flow Dashboard
The complete
financial picture.
At a glance.
Income vs expenses, month over month. Net cash flow trending up or down. Seasonality patterns that help you plan for slow months before they happen.
Bloomberg-quality financial intelligence. Studio-scale pricing.
Why seashellOS
