Executive Summary

Jessica, a freelance graphic designer, often faced skepticism from landlords when providing proof of income. She previously submitted invoices and bank statements, which were rejected or questioned. With SecurePayStubs, she created clean, professional paystubs in minutes, helping her secure a lease for her dream apartment without hassle.

About the Client

Jessica is a self-employed creative professional who works with various clients across the U.S. She receives irregular payments and doesn’t have a traditional pay cycle or employer-issued paystub.

The Challenge

When applying for apartments or personal loans, Jessica was frequently asked for proof of income. She tried using:

• Bank statements (seen as unreliable)
• Client invoices (confusing and unstandardized)
• Excel-based paystubs (looked unprofessional)

This lack of credible documentation led to:

• Rejected rental applications
• Delays in loan approvals
• Stress and embarrassment when explaining her freelance income

The Solution

Jessica found SecurePayStubs, a platform that allows independent contractors and freelancers to create professional paystubs.

The Results

Jessica now uses SecurePayStubs monthly to track and show her earnings in a standard format.
