Managing project payments across freelance teams for agencies.

If your projects involve freelancers, subcontractors, or fractional team members, you’ve likely dealt with messy spreadsheets and multi-invoice chaos. Traditional invoicing tools just weren’t built for project-based collaboration. We get it too - we've run a freelance agency for 18 months, tested over 15 different platforms, and came to the same conclusion - this sucks.

A smart invoicing system changes that.

With split invoicing, agencies can automatically divide a single client invoice into multiple freelancer payments - across roles, timelines, and currencies. It’s built for modern teams working across borders. With Rafiki's smart split-invoicing, we've merged time-sheeting into automatically created invoices across teams, that can be sent for external payments, or paid directly in one-click. Payments are instant, and...free!

No delays. No admin. Just smarter billing for smarter teams.
