For the finance and managing contractors, I use Kimai [0]. It can track your time, manage your customers, projects, your team, expenses and even generate your invoices. I only use it for tracking time, managing customers and projects and generating invoices.

My full finances are stored in Notion 1, this is because I can access that anywhere, and I can use the built-in table functions to calculate my VAT and tax. When I started, I also used Notion as a CRM that I logged customer/prospect interactions with, but that faded out after a while.

Confusing pricing for Kimai. Start for free for hosted but I can't find the pricing anywhere on the website but I found a blog post about how it's no longer free. Do you pay for it and try to host it?

What kind of finance features does notion have ? It would be interesting to hear how notion can be used for finance ?
As kreetx said, I use the Excel-like features.

For example; the finances for each company should be submitted to the national tax department each quarter. I configured the Notion tables to group them by quarter of the year. For each of these quarters, it will automatically configure the income, outgoing and the result.

I'd assume it has "Excel features", which translate to finance features.
