About SoloProHQ

Why I built this, who I built it for, and how I approach every review.

Hey, I'm Marissa Olberding.

Independent professional and the person behind SoloProHQ.

I started SoloProHQ because I was spending way too much time researching software and not enough time doing actual work. Every review I found was either a shallow feature tour or clearly written by someone who'd never actually run a solo business.

So I went deep. I dug into the tools that matter for independent professionals — CRMs, invoicing software, contract platforms, proposal builders — and started writing up what I actually found, in plain English, including the parts that aren't great.

What you'll find here

Every piece of content on SoloProHQ is built around one question: does this actually help someone running a solo business?
