Invoicing for event freelancers and production crew

The job's done. The invoice should be too.

Add a job once — client, dates and rate. When the work's finished, CrewSynk turns it into a ready-to-send invoice. No retyping, no Sunday-night admin.

CrewSynk on a phone — an invoice built from a booked job, ready to send

Real app, real job. This one has a PO — yours doesn't need one.

How it works

Stop typing the same job details twice.

You already entered the client, the dates and the rate when you booked the job. CrewSynk uses them again when it's time to invoice.

  1. 1

    Book the job once.

    Client, dates and rate — saved with the job.

  2. 2

    Turn it into an invoice.

    The details are already filled in. Review, adjust if you need to, send.

  3. 3

    Track when you're paid.

The old way

Still invoicing at night?

Strike's done. Load-out's done. Now there's admin waiting at home.

Built in

The extras, when you need them.

None of these are required to send an invoice. They're there for the jobs that need them.

PO Finder modal showing matched purchase orders

Optional — no PO, no problem

PO Finder: find the purchase order in Gmail.

Got a PO buried in your inbox? Connect Gmail and CrewSynk looks for the one that matches your job, so you're not scrolling through emails after a shift.

  • ✓Reads PO PDFs and pulls out the number and amount
  • ✓Keeps the PO linked to the right job — fewer invoice mistakes
  • ✓You confirm before anything is applied

CrewSynk only reads your inbox to find purchase orders. It never sends emails or changes your inbox.

Payment reminders

Switch on automatic reminders and CrewSynk emails your client around the due date, so you don't have to chase. Off by default — you choose.

Expenses and VAT

Add billable expenses to a job and they appear on the invoice as their own lines. VAT is added if you're registered.

CrewSynk isn't accounting software. It gets the invoice out — then you export your figures for your accountant or your accounting tool. Built for event freelancers and production crew; it also works for UK freelancers who work job by job. Still comparing? See how the invoicing apps compare.

What your client receives

A proper invoice, not a spreadsheet.

Your details, your client's, the job, the PO if there is one, and your bank details — sent as a PDF.

Example CrewSynk invoice

Why it exists

Built by crew, for crew.

CrewSynk was built by a working set carpenter who got fed up with invoicing at 11pm. It exists because the tools we had weren't made for people who finish work in a loading bay.

We're still in beta and building it alongside working freelancers — your feedback goes straight to the founder.
