April Product Update

Q1? Done. Welcome to Q2, a.k.a. your best quarter ever.

At Wingspan, we’re kicking off the new season with brand new features and enormous improvements. With our latest releases, we’ve streamlined subcontractor payments, upgraded the bookkeeping experience, added a resource hub to answer all your burning questions, and more.

Pay subcontractors with one click.

Manage, track, and automate subcontractor payments with Wingspan's latest release. Here's how Collaborator Payments works:

1. Input your subcontractor's email address and fee.
2. Wingspan handles the rest:
3. → Gathers your subcontractor's W9
4. → Verifies their identity
5. → Creates an invoice for your records
6. → Deposits payment into their bank account
7. → At year-end, generates tax form 1099

‍Enjoy an upgraded bookkeeping experience.

See all your transactions in one place, so you can know at a glance if you’re on track to meet your goals. With new functions, you can get organized fast and feel in control of your cash flow. Easily filter and find exactly what you’re searching for, whether it’s a receipt from last week or last year’s biggest paycheck. Check it out.

Coming soon ⏳

• Get paid faster: We are working hard to reduce the time between when your client pays you to when the money lands in your account.
• eSignature functionality: No one likes to hear, “Can you please sign and send this back to me?” (And who owns a printer in the year 2021, anyway?!) That’s why we’re launching eSignatures for your contracts, proposals and tax documents.
