I'm a 1099-consultant and whenever a payment comes in, I just update a spreadsheet and transfer the amount to a separate savings account. It's not that big of a pain really, just takes a couple of minutes, but it would be nice to automate this with your service.

The only reason I'm hesitant to switch is because you're offering this for free. How do I know you're still going to be in business in a year from now? In other words, what is your business model?

Hi there! It's free for now as we offer perks for signup. We'll shortly roll to a subscription based service for access to tax withholding. We'll also introduce some premium features down the road to continue automating the tax portion of your consulting. Hope that helps!
