Structure for irregular income, without rigid rules.
Goldqueen helps independent professionals analyse past income patterns, set clear allocation logic, and review decisions with context. Designed for variability, not against it.
For UK-based independent professionals managing project, contract, and seasonal income. You stay in control of every rule and adjustment.
Detailed features, built for clarity and control
Each feature focuses on one part of the decision: understanding what came in, deciding where it should go, and keeping a clear record of why.
Income pattern analysis
Review how your income has arrived over time — timing, gaps, and concentration. Goldqueen organises past entries into a readable pattern so you can plan around variability instead of reacting to it. No forecasts presented as certainty, only structured history to inform your judgement.
Allocation rules you define
Set how each payment is divided between operating needs, short-term reserves, and longer-term buffers. Rules are explicit, editable, and applied consistently, so similar payments lead to similar decisions. Adjust them whenever your costs or priorities change.
Reserve bands with context
Define lean, steady, and strong bands for your buffer. At a glance you can see whether current reserves sit comfortably within your own thresholds or need attention. Bands help you interpret a balance without checking spreadsheets or recalculating.
Scenario comparison
Compare approaches side by side before you commit — for example, holding more in reserve versus releasing more for operating use. Each option is shown with its trade-offs in plain language, so the implication of a choice is clear before you act.
Decision record
Every allocation keeps a simple record: what was decided, which rule was used, and what you adjusted manually. This creates continuity month to month and makes reviews faster, especially when income arrives in uneven amounts.
Structured review prompts
Regular prompts guide a short review of rules, bands, and reserves. You confirm what still fits, change what does not, and continue with an up-to-date structure. The aim is steady oversight without constant monitoring.
A simple workflow from payment to review
Features connect in a clear sequence. You can use the full flow or focus on the part you need most.
Understand the pattern
Start with organised history of incoming payments. Identify timing and variability that affect how you allocate.
Set the structure
Define allocation rules and reserve bands in your own terms. Apply them consistently to new payments.
Review with context
Use scenario comparison and the decision record to check, adjust, and keep your approach aligned with current needs.
In practice: Payment arrives → rules suggest an allocation → you confirm or adjust → record is kept → reserves update against your bands → review when ready.
What this helps you do differently
Benefits are practical: fewer repeated calculations, clearer choices, and a record you can return to.
Handle uneven months consistently
When payments differ in size and timing, rules keep allocations consistent without rethinking the whole approach each time.
- Same logic applied to similar payments
- Manual adjustments kept visible
- Less time recalculating from scratch
See buffer position clearly
Reserve bands show where you stand relative to your own thresholds, so quieter periods are easier to interpret and plan for.
- Lean, steady, and strong levels you set
- Context for operating decisions
- Prompts to review before pressure builds
Divide with intention
Larger payments are divided according to your rules rather than left as a single balance, with trade-offs shown before you confirm.
- Explicit split across priorities
- Side-by-side comparison of options
- Clear record of the chosen approach
Automation that supports judgement, not replaces it
Goldqueen organises analysis and applies the rules you set, but you confirm every allocation and can change any rule, band, or reserve level.
- Rules and thresholds remain visible and editable
- No action taken without your confirmation
- Explanations in plain language, not opaque scores
- Decision history available for review at any time
