On Paper holds the money the moment a job starts — so your freelancer knows they're covered before they begin. When the work lands, payment releases instantly and a slice is set aside for their taxes, automatically. Clean books for you, real security for them.
Three things happen automatically the moment a job is funded.
The creator funds the job into escrow before work starts. The freelancer can see it's guaranteed — no chasing invoices, no ghosting.
Every release skims a slice into the freelancer's tax vault at their own rate — so April isn't a surprise. They withdraw the rest to their bank.
Categorized spend and printable invoices for the creator; income history and 1099-ready records for the freelancer. It's all on paper.
An interactive walkthrough of the real dashboard — the creator and the freelancer, side by side, watching the same job move through the system.
