Financial Management Software for Architecture & Design Studios

UpLabs is a purpose-built financial management platform designed specifically for architecture and design firms. It helps studios track project finances, manage GST-compliant invoices, run payroll, reconcile bank statements, and gain real-time financial insights — all in one place. No spreadsheets. No generic accounting software. Just the tools creative studios actually need.

Project-Based Financial Tracking

Every architecture project is different — and your finances should reflect that. UpLabs lets you create projects, assign budgets, break work into phases or milestones, and track income vs. expenses at the project level. See which projects are profitable, which are over-budget, and where your revenue is concentrated — all on a single dashboard.

GST-Compliant Invoicing & Billing

Generate professional invoices with automatic CGST, SGST, and IGST calculations. UpLabs supports HSN/SAC codes, place-of-supply rules for interstate transactions, TDS deduction tracking, and credit/debit notes. Track invoice status from draft to paid, send reminders, and never lose sight of receivables. On the payables side, manage vendor bills with the same GST precision.

Payroll & Employee Management

Manage your team's salaries, track payment history month by month, and maintain a complete audit trail. UpLabs supports salary revisions, bonus payments, and links each payment to the correct bank account. Whether you have 3 employees or 30, payroll stays organised and transparent.

Real-Time Dashboard & Financial Reports

Your dashboard shows total income, expenses, receivables, payables, and net cash position — updated in real time. Drill into monthly snapshots, compare periods, and export data to Excel or PDF. Understand your firm's financial health at a glance without waiting for your CA to run the numbers.

Multi-Account & Cash Flow Tracking

Track every rupee across multiple bank accounts, cash-in-hand, and partner capital accounts. UpLabs computes running balances, supports bank statement uploads for reconciliation, and gives you a consolidated view of liquidity. Record capital contributions, partner drawings, and inter-account transfers with full traceability.

Secure Client Portal

Share a secure, read-only portal link with your clients so they can view their invoices, payment history, and outstanding balances — without needing access to your main account. It builds trust, reduces "where's my invoice?" emails, and keeps your client relationships professional.
