Frequently asked questions

What should contractor invoicing software include?

It should handle clear job references, labour and materials, deposits, progress amounts, approved variations, tax, due dates and payment tracking. The goal is to make the amount due easy for the client to verify.

Can I create progress invoices?

Yes. Create an invoice for the current milestone or draw, show prior payments and describe the remaining balance. Dedicated percentage-complete or statutory progress-claim rules vary by contract and location, so check the required format for your job.

Can I invoice from my phone?

Yes. InvoiceSonic works in a mobile browser and has an iPhone app, so you can prepare and send an invoice from the job.

Track each job from invoice to confirmed payment

Keep the client, job reference and billing stage on each invoice. Review approved changes and earlier billing before sending; record actual payments against the correct invoice.

For repeated jobs with one client, save the contact but keep distinct work-order numbers. For staged work, separate contract value, amounts previously invoiced and money received.
