Bonsai is most helpful because it's got a user-friendly interface for handling some of my most pressing needs as an independent contractor, without the extra fuss of many other platforms. It's well designed and easy to look at, which makes a lot of tasks that I normally find tedious to be a little more enjoyable. Invoicing is a breeze and my clients have responded well to my proposals made with Bonsai since I switched over to using them. I find the tax extension especially useful for easily tracking business expenses and being prepared for quarterly tax payments and tax time.

Bonsai has helped me launch my small educational consulting business (I am the only employee). The contract and invoicing are the most helpful features, especially since I can easily have clients e-sign contracts. Also, I love that there are auto reminders for invoices, so I never have to remember to ping clients if an invoice is coming due or overdue. Lastly, the scheduling feature has been great and allowed me to avoid paying for Calendly.

Seems to have a lot of features that others do not, like contract templates. It is easy to set up.
