What is Effitrio?
Effitrio is a focused mini ERP for freelancers and small teams: invoices, expenses, clients, projects, Effi Automation, and AI-assisted workflows in one workspace. You manage money in Finance, relationships in Organization, automation under Effi Automation, and day-to-day priorities on the Dashboard.
How Effitrio is different
- AI with approval — The assistant can prepare multi-step goals (for example reminders or checks). Sensitive steps pause for your approval before anything irreversible or client-facing runs. See AI Workflows.
- You stay in control — Outbound actions and plans show up in the AI Action Center, so you always know what is waiting versus what already ran.
- Your workspace, your data — Information stays in your workspace, with limits and features based on your plan.
Creating your account
- Open Sign up and register with your email.
- Complete verification if prompted.
- Sign in and land in your workspace — you can add company details next.

First steps checklist
The dashboard onboarding checklist focuses on getting to a sent invoice (you can dismiss it anytime):
- Account — You’re signed in; your workspace exists.
- First client — Add a client from Organization → Clients (the checklist links there).
- First invoice — Create a draft from Finance → Invoices.
- Send an invoice — Send it to your client by email from the invoice flow.
When you are ready to track costs, add expenses under Finance → Expenses — see Expenses.
