How it runs

Retainers on repeat

Recurring invoices go out on schedule, and reminders chase the late ones.

Profit by client project

Tag income and cost to each project and compare them.

Paid faster

A payment link on the invoice, statements by email or WhatsApp, and a portal where clients accept quotes.

Deferred revenue

A year paid up front is recognised month by month, as the work is done.

The parts you will use
