For creative studios
Keep projects, approvals, expenses, and invoices connected.
Steady helps creative studios plan client work, send estimates, capture approval, track time and expenses, and invoice from a clean project record.
The problem
Creative work changes shape, but the business record still needs to stay clean.
Creative projects often involve estimates, revisions, production time, purchases, expenses, approvals, and final invoices. When those details are scattered, it becomes harder to protect scope and bill accurately.
- Approved scope can get separated from the work that actually happens.
- Revisions, production time, and client changes are easy to under-track.
- Receipts, purchases, and expenses can be missed when invoices are prepared later.
- Final billing depends on piecing together notes, files, emails, and memory.
The workflow
A calmer workflow from first scope to final payment.
Create the estimate, plan the work, track what changed, and invoice from a project record that stays connected.
Scope the work
Create estimates and quotes for projects, retainers, production work, or client engagements.
Capture approval
Use digital signature approval so client sign-off stays connected to the work that follows.
Track delivery
Plan calendar blocks, convert work into time entries, and attach expenses or media as the project evolves.
Invoice the project
Generate invoices from verified work, fixed-fee items, expenses, and approved scope.
