Running multiple client accounts without the right infrastructure breaks down fast:

📆

Manually invoicing every client at the end of each month instead of automating it in advance

🔄

Scope creep — clients asking for 'just one more post' or ad management you never agreed to

📊

Reporting delivered as a PDF attachment via email with no way for clients to access past reports

🗂️

Client briefs, brand guidelines, and approved content scattered across Google Drive, Slack, and your desktop

kinako fixes all of this. One tool, one login.

Here's what changes

Everything social media managers need to run a professional business.

Set it once

Automated monthly retainer invoices

Set up recurring invoices and kinako generates and sends them on the 1st of each month — before you deliver that month's content. You stop chasing, clients stop forgetting.

Contracts that define your scope

Build a social media management agreement that specifies platforms, post frequency, whether content creation is included, and your overage rate. Clients sign before account access.

Client portal for each account

Give each client their own portal: invoices, contracts, and any files or reports you share. They stop emailing you for things they can find themselves.

Separate ad spend from management fees

kinako makes it easy to invoice management fees separately from pass-through costs. Clients understand what they're paying you vs. what they're paying to the ad platforms.

Intake form for new clients

Send a branded onboarding form before starting: brand voice, target audience, competitor accounts, content restrictions, and login credentials. All in one place before day one.

Revenue by client at a glance

See total MRR, which clients are on which retainer level, and any outstanding balances — in a dashboard that takes 5 seconds to check, not 15 minutes to build.

Automated retainer invoices saved me hours every month. Now the 1st rolls around, invoices go out, and I focus on content instead of accounting.

Frequently asked questions

Can kinako automate my monthly retainer invoices?

Yes. Set up recurring invoices once and kinako generates and sends them on the 1st of each month — before you deliver that month's content. Clients pay automatically via Stripe.

How do I prevent scope creep with social media clients?

kinako's contract builder lets you specify exactly which platforms, how many posts, whether content creation is included, and your overage rate. Clients sign before you start managing their accounts.

Can I separate ad spend from management fees?

Yes. kinako lets you invoice management fees separately from pass-through ad costs, so clients clearly see what they're paying you vs. what goes to the ad platforms.

Do clients get their own login?

Clients access their portal through a one-tap magic-link email — no password to set up and nothing to install. They can view invoices, contracts, and any files or reports you share.

Your unfair advantage.

Social Media Managers who use kinako look and operate like studios — without the overhead. Free to start.
