About Coconut
Coconut is the one tool self-employed people need to manage their business finances. From payments to tax return, weβve brought together all of the things that used to be separate and difficult to handle.
Coconut Description
More people are choosing to work for themselves. The freelance lifestyle gives you flexibility, independence and control in your work. But the money side of things is stressful and takes up time when you should be earning.
Coconut is the alternative bank account for freelancers. It's a business bank account that works out your taxes, tracks your expenses and helps you get paid on time.
