Before you choose a platform, check it covers what the ATO and your clients expect. It should do more than produce a PDF: it should help you get paid on time and protect your cash flow.
ABN, GST and the right document name
Your ABN goes on every invoice. If you are registered for GST, add 10% GST to taxable items and label the document "Tax Invoice". Not registered because you are under the $75,000 GST turnover threshold? Issue an "Invoice" with no GST line.
Payment terms and a real due date
Write a specific due date as well as your payment terms, for example "Net 14, due 24 September". A calendar date removes the guesswork that leads to late payments.
Payment details clients can act on
Put your bank account name, BSB and account number, or your PayID, on the invoice itself. For card payments and other online payments, add a Stripe or PayPal payment link; depending on how that provider is set up, clients can pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. InvoiceSonic shows these options on the invoice but does not process or hold the money.
Automatic payment reminders
Overdue invoices are one of the biggest drags on small business cash flow. Scheduled reminders follow up for you, so you don't have to write awkward chasing emails.
Works on any mobile device
Tradies and mobile businesses invoice from the job. InvoiceSonic has an iPhone app plus a mobile web app for Android phones and tablets, all on the same account as your laptop.
Records you can find at tax time
The ATO generally expects business records to be kept for five years. Saved invoices stay in your account and download as PDFs, so you can keep copies alongside your bookkeeping.
Why a dedicated invoicing tool beats Word, Excel or a full ledger
Templates are quick but break once you have regular clients. A full ledger is powerful but more than many small businesses need. A dedicated invoicing platform sits in between.
ATO compliance by default
Every invoice includes your ABN, GST line items and the correct Tax Invoice or Invoice label for your registration status.
Faster payment, healthier cash flow
Clear payment instructions, an optional payment link and automatic reminders for overdue invoices make it easier for clients to pay on time.
Recurring and automated
Retainers, subscriptions, weekly contracts: set the schedule once and InvoiceSonic prepares each invoice. Stop forgetting to bill.
Customisable templates
Add your logo and colours, save clients and services, and reuse line items so every invoice looks consistent.
Mobile-first invoicing
Use the iPhone app or mobile web with the same account as your desktop. Send a full Tax Invoice from a customer's driveway in under 90 seconds.
Built for Australia
ABN field, PayID, BSB and account, AUD currency and tax-invoice formatting are built in for Australian businesses.
Made for every kind of Australian business

All templates →How to choose invoicing software in Australia
Most people looking for invoice software in Australia can narrow the list with five checks:
- Check the document basics: ABN, GST, Tax Invoice wording and AUD totals.
- Count your monthly invoices. A free plan with a monthly cap suits occasional billing; weekly billing needs room to grow.
- Decide whether you need accounting software for payroll, bank feeds and BAS, or just invoicing.
- Test how clients pay: PayID, a bank deposit, or card payments through a payment link.
- Try reminders and recurring invoices before you commit.
Popular alternatives include Zoho Invoice, Square Invoices, Xero and MYOB. Each suits a different business, so check pricing and features on the vendor's site.

Frequently asked questions about Australian invoicing software
What is invoicing software?
It is a tool that lets you create, send, track and manage invoices to your clients. Compared with a Word doc or spreadsheet, it adds automatic GST and tax calculations, a client database, pay-by-link, recurring billing, payment tracking and automated reminders. It's the natural upgrade for any Australian business that issues more than one or two invoices a month.
Is invoicing software the same as accounting software?
No. An invoicing tool is focused on creating invoices and getting paid. Accounting platforms (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) add bank reconciliation, payroll, BAS preparation and full double-entry bookkeeping, and cost significantly more. For most freelancers, tradies and small businesses, a dedicated invoicing tool is plenty until you hire employees or need automated bank reconciliation.
Do I need it if I only send a few invoices?
Even at two or three invoices a month, it saves time and improves cash flow. Pay-by-link, automatic reminders, GST calculations and client records pay off from your first invoice. You can try the invoice builder with no sign-up, so there's no upfront cost to find out.
Is InvoiceSonic ATO-compliant?
InvoiceSonic is built ATO-first, with an ABN field, correct Tax Invoice or Invoice labelling based on GST registration, automatic GST calculation and clear tax totals. You remain responsible for checking the invoice and keeping your business records for the period the ATO requires.
Can I invoice from my phone?
Yes. InvoiceSonic has an iPhone app and a mobile web app that works in any phone browser, including Android, all on the same account as the web version.
How do my clients pay?
Add bank details, PayID, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal.Me or an external Stripe or PayPal payment link. With a payment link, clients may be able to pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, depending on that provider. InvoiceSonic displays the instructions on the invoice; the money goes through the payment method you choose and InvoiceSonic does not process or hold it.
Will my data stay safe?
InvoiceSonic uses encrypted HTTPS connections and account access controls. Saved invoices are private to your account. See the privacy policy for hosting, subprocessors and data-handling details.
Can I switch from Xero, MYOB or another tool?
InvoiceSonic is a focused invoicing tool, not a full ledger replacement. Keep your books in Xero, MYOB or another ledger and use InvoiceSonic for creating, sending and following up invoices. Automated CSV import is not currently offered.
How does the no-signup builder compare to paid?
The online builder creates and downloads one ATO-compliant invoice with no sign-up or card, while a basic account saves 3 invoices a month. Pro ($19/month) adds unlimited invoices, in-app email, recurring invoice drafts, reminders, custom branding, quote acceptance and advanced analytics. Pro's 7-day trial requires card details and bills after the trial unless cancelled.
What about e-invoicing and Peppol?
Australia is adopting Peppol-based e-invoicing for B2B and government supply chains. InvoiceSonic currently creates PDF and hosted invoices; it is not a Peppol access point. Use an accredited provider if a government or enterprise customer requires machine-to-machine e-invoicing.
