A model's expense list doesn't fit a generic accounting app.
Test shoots aren't “marketing.” Agency commission isn't “professional services.” Gym, hair and skincare are deductible for working models in some jurisdictions but the tools don't know that. Travel between agencies is deductible — between go-sees in the same city often isn't.
Generic apps were built for office workers. Working models are not office workers.
Categories built for working models
- Agency expenses. Agency commission, mother-agency commission, marketing fees, comp card costs.
- Portfolio & test shoots. Photographer fees, MUA, location, prints. First portfolio is typically $500–$5,000.
- Body & beauty. Hair, skincare, gym, dermatology. Country-specific notes on what counts as deductible.
- Travel. Flights, accommodation, ground transport, per diem. Auto-tagged by job destination.
- Wardrobe & gear. Fittings, shoes, model-specific clothing, garment bags.
- Admin & professional. Accountant, lawyer, ABN/EIN/UTR registration, app subscriptions.
Tax-ready, end of year
- CSV with columns mapped to ATO, IRS, and HMRC categories.
- Multi-currency receipts converted at recorded transaction-date rate, not today's rate.
- Receipt photos stored alongside line items.
- One-click handoff to your accountant.
- End-of-financial-year takes minutes, not a weekend.
Pair with the rest
- Track payments across multiple agencies in the same app.
