Gather billable items

1 day from previous step
task
Collect everything that needs to be invoiced - time entries, expenses, deliverables, milestones. Verify against the contract terms to ensure you are billing correctly. Missing billable items leaves money on the table. Double billing damages relationships.
4

Create the invoice

1 day from previous step
task
Generate the invoice with all required details - client info, invoice number, line items, amounts, payment terms, due date. Include purchase order numbers if required. Professional invoices get paid faster. Sloppy invoices get questioned and delayed.
5

Review and approve

1 day from previous step
task
Have someone check the invoice before sending - amounts, client details, terms. Catch errors before they reach the client. For large or unusual invoices, get appropriate internal approval. Sending wrong invoices makes you look disorganized.
6

Send and confirm receipt

1 day from previous step
task
Deliver the invoice to the right person - AP contact, not just your day-to-day contact. Email with PDF attached is standard. Confirm they received it and have everything needed to process payment. Clear communication prevents invoices sitting in limbo.
7

Track and follow up

1 day from previous step
task
Monitor payment status. If due date passes without payment, follow up promptly but professionally. Have a consistent collections process. Record everything in your accounting system. Aging receivables hurt cash flow - stay on top of them.
