About us

We're building the invoicing and payments tool we always wanted.

Beacon started in 2024 when Theo Brooks and Clara Foster got tired of chasing late payments in spreadsheets.

What began as an internal tool at a small agency quickly turned into something other teams kept asking about. A year later, Beacon had its first hundred paying customers — most of them found us by word of mouth.

Today more than 8,000 freelancers and small agencies rely on Beacon every day. We're a small, remote-first team with a home base in Melbourne, and we still answer support emails ourselves.

Our values

How we work

Sustainable growth

We're profitable and independent, which means we answer to customers, not to the next funding round.

Customers first

We talk to customers every week and build what they actually need, not what looks good on a roadmap.

Default to open

Public roadmap, transparent pricing and honest answers — even when they're not what you want to hear.
