    "Zoho Books has cut down my time spent on invoicing and expense tracking by 40%. Now I can spend more time on the creative side of my work rather than getting lost in paperwork." — Nicky Mondellini, Freelance voice over artist

    Industry

    Entertainment & Media

    Using Zoho Books since

    2021

    Features Nicky likes the most

    • Ease of use
    • Time-saving automation
    • Invoicing and expense tracking

    Introduction

    Nicky Mondellini, a talented voice-over artist based in Houston, Texas, has been in the entertainment industry for many years. Originally from Mexico City, Nicky migrated to the United States nearly two decades ago and has built a successful freelance career, lending her voice to numerous projects. As a freelancer managing multiple clients, Mondellini needed a streamlined solution to handle her finances, especially as her business grew more complex.

    "As a freelancer, I wear many hats. Between managing clients, and handling my own finances, I needed a system that could simplify at least one aspect of my work. Zoho Books was the perfect solution." — Nicky Mondellini, Freelance voice over artist

    The challenges

    Before adopting Zoho Books, Mondellini faced several challenges, particularly with her previous accounting software, QuickBooks. She found it time consuming to categorize transactions and struggled with the complexities of managing her finances across various clients and projects.

    Additionally, QuickBooks lacked certain features that were crucial for Mondellini's freelance business, such as the ability to create invoices in multiple currencies—a requirement for her international clients. Upgrading to access these features would have required a higher-tier plan, which she found unnecessary and expensive.

    "Before using Zoho Books, it was very confusing and time consuming. Categorizing transactions in QuickBooks took forever, and I didn’t really like the process. It just wasn’t user-friendly for someone like me who wanted to keep things simple." — Nicky Mondellini, Freelance voice over artist

    The solution

    Mondellini was introduced to Zoho’s ecosystem through Zoho Mail in 2016, recommended by her web designer. Impressed by the platform’s simplicity and integration, she later discovered Zoho One through another voice-over artist and was drawn to the idea of having an all-in-one solution. In 2023, she migrated her accounting to Zoho Books with the help of a Zoho expert, finding the transition smooth and the system intuitive.

    One feature she particularly enjoys is the seamless transaction matching capability.

    When categorizing transactions from my credit card or checking account, Zoho Books pulls up related invoices, and I can just click Merge to match the amounts. It saves so much time,” she shared.

    She also appreciates the automated invoicing system, which allows her to quickly generate and send invoices to clients. This feature has helped her streamline her cash flow, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.

    "Having everything in one place without needing to switch between systems was a huge draw for me; I like the idea of managing my emails, invoicing, and accounting in a single platform." — Nicky Mondellini, Freelance voice over artist

    Benefits and ROI

    Zoho Books has significantly reduced Nicky’s time spent on administrative tasks, freeing her up to focus more on her creative work. She now spends only a couple of hours each month on accounting, compared to several hours each week before.

    "Since migrating to Zoho Books, I have been able to reduce the time spent on my accounting processes by 30–40%. The ease of use, coupled with the system’s automation capabilities, has allowed me to focus more on my core business—voice-over work—without being bogged down by complex accounting tasks. Zoho Books has made things a lot easier for me. It’s reduced the amount of time I spend managing my finances, and I feel more organized." — Nicky Mondellini, Freelance voice over artist

    Looking ahead

    As Mondellini's freelance business continues to grow, she plans to explore additional Zoho Books features, such as project management and recurring billing, to simplify her workflow further.

    For other freelancers and small business owners considering Zoho Books, Mondellini advises reaching out to Zoho’s support team for any assistance in learning the system.
