Judy for Designers

Bookkeeping for Freelance Designers & Creative Studios

You're juggling client projects, design tools, and equipment costs—while trying to remember which subscriptions are actually deductible. Between Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, fonts, stock assets, and the contractor you just paid for development work, your real profit margin stays hidden until tax season hits.

Sound familiar?

You're paying $300+/month across design tools, but only remembering to deduct half of them come tax time.
Hardware depreciation and Section 179 deductions for your Mac setup require spreadsheets you don't have time to maintain.
Tracking freelance collaborators and contractor payments manually means missing 1099-NEC deadlines and tax deductions.
Your actual profitability is invisible because software subscriptions and small equipment purchases blur together.

Your Schedule C profile

Software and equipment dominate. Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and fonts go on Line 18. Hardware on Line 13 (Section 179). Freelance collaborators (photographers, developers) on Line 11.

What Judy handles for you

✓ Auto-categorizes Adobe, Figma, Linear, and other design tools to Line 18

Instead of piecing together your finances from credit card statements, you get weekly syncs that show your real profit—and the deductions you actually earned.
