Engineer Kit

Every job from the booking to the invoice paid: your rate card, where an artist asks for a booking and sees the price as they ask; the files to ask for; each version approved or sent back from a link; the rounds counted against your price; the balance before the finals; every record your name is on, and what you are owed.

$39 a month
Monthly renews until you stop it from the store, and runs to the end of the month paid for. Every tool reads the same clients and the same money, so they work as one.
