I used to lose a full day every month to invoicing. Now it takes eleven minutes and I actually know which projects make money.

01 — The craft
Three things every studio does badly.
We fixed all three.
01
Proposals that close
Write once, reuse forever. Scoped deliverables, staged payments and an accept button your client can actually find.
Templates · e-signature · deposit on accept
02
Invoices that get paid
Issue in a click, chase on a schedule. Sable follows up politely so you never have to write that email again.
Auto-reminders · VAT rules · SEPA & card
03
Numbers that tell the truth
Hours against fees, per project, per client, in real time. You find out a project is unprofitable while you can still fix it.
Live margin · retainer burn · export to your accountant
02 — The week
A studio month,
without the dread.
Nothing to configure for a week. Sable ships with the workflow most studios end up building themselves — you just start using it.

Month end
Close the books in minutes
Sable drafts every invoice from tracked time and retainers. You review, you approve, you're done.
03 — Studio stories
People who stopped
dreading the 30th.
Proposals, contracts and retainers finally live in one place. Our clients think we hired an operations manager.

The profitability view changed how we price. We dropped two clients and grew revenue by a third in one quarter.

Is Sable an accounting tool?
No — and that's deliberate. Sable runs the client-facing half of your studio: proposals, contracts, time, invoices and profitability. It exports cleanly to your accountant's tool of choice, so nobody has to change how they work.
Can I move my existing projects across?
Yes. Import clients and projects from a CSV, or send us your current export and we'll map it during onboarding. Every plan includes migration help — it isn't an upsell.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You export everything — clients, projects, time entries, invoices, files — as CSV and PDF, at any moment, without asking us. Your work is yours.
Do you charge for clients or collaborators?
Never. You pay per person on your team. Clients, freelancers and collaborators get free guest access to the projects you share with them.
When does early access open?
We're onboarding studios in small groups so every one gets a proper setup call. Most invitations go out within two weeks of signing up.
