Ye Freelance warriors, please lend me your I/O devices for 5 minutes.
Your time is your money! Do you find it a pain to generate an invoice,
record the details into your accounting software and keep track of
taxes and payments? You are not alone, I found the whole invoice
thingy to be extremely painful.
But worry not, Emacs comes to our rescue.
My talk will give you a basic intro on how to use org mode, some embedded python code and file jugglery to generate stylistic and professional invoices.
What you will learn during the session:
- How to track your freelance time using orgmode
- How to create the basic infrastructure for invoice generation
- How to generate the invoice
- How to manage multiple clients
- How to enter the finance details into your accounting software
- How to track invoice payments
We will use the following packages:
- Emacs+orgmode (duh?)
- yasnippet
- python layer (I use spacemacs, so whatever is the equivalent in your config)
- Some unnecessary Shakespearean references
