Endeve, online invoices management made simple

Not long ago Luis, my business partner in findjobsin.com, shared with me this application, Endeve. We were accessing from The Netherlands and found it quite useful for contractors like myself, with little time to spend (amongst other things) in paperwork.

I had to wait, though, until they removed the IP country filter that would allow me to keep up with it from my home country. I have now gained access, and would like to share some thoughts on it with you.


  • It is a very simple application in his free plan, which excludes bulk payment management and expenses as the most significant features. Simple meaning easy to use and not lacking of functionality. It covers all the needs of a freelance with multiple clients, includes the possibility to set up discounts, taxes and penalties. It allows export to excel and it is integrated with a mail server.
  • It lacks flexibility when it comes to customization of the invoice template, but once again this is about spending as less time as possible with non-invoiceable tasks.
  • Special mention needs to be made to the quick an effective response of their customer service.
  • It still has some room for improvement, here are some suggestions: existing invoices/clients import tool, invoices expiry date reminders setting (and customization), the Balance option should also be exportable and even have a estimation balance option for planning purposes.
A pretty nice tool overall.
