As a freelancer, your financial records are essential—for tax returns, proving income, and client disputes. Boxkite automatically backs up your Xero data to Dropbox, ensuring you never lose your invoice history or expense records.
As a freelancer, you're your own finance department. Every invoice, every expense, every payment needs tracking for tax returns and potential HMRC enquiries. Losing this data would mean reconstructing years of records—or losing legitimate deductions.
Unlike employees, you need to prove your income for mortgages, loans, and sometimes clients. Complete, verifiable financial records make this easier. An independent backup provides evidence that can't be disputed.
HMRC opens an enquiry into your self-assessment from three years ago. You need to show every invoice, expense receipt, and mileage log that supported your return. If you've "cleaned up" old data, proving your figures becomes difficult.
A client claims they paid an invoice you show as outstanding. Or they dispute ever receiving the work. Without complete invoice and payment records, it's your word against theirs.
You claimed legitimate expenses but can't find the original receipts or invoices. If HMRC asks for proof, you lose the deductions—and potentially face penalties for unsupported claims.
A past engagement is questioned under IR35. You need the original contract terms, invoices, and payment records to demonstrate the working relationship. Incomplete records make your case harder to prove.
Every invoice you've ever sent, backed up automatically.
All deductible expenses documented for HMRC.
Client payment records for disputes and income verification.
Your financial history safe in your own Dropbox.
