01Where this usually starts

Complex contracts need billing that reflects staged payments, retentions, customer rates and consolidated accounts. We build these rules into your workflow, connecting invoicing with your accounting tools and payment processes.

02What changes

What you end up holding.

  • 01Invoices calculated using your validated contract rules
  • 02Payments connected to invoice records and reconciliation
  • 03Customer reminders that follow your agreed collection policy
  • 04Current reporting on outstanding balances and payment status
  • 05Accounting connections that reduce repeated entry

Plan a billing system that supports accurate invoicing and timely collections.

03The pieces

What a system like this is usually made of.

Prioritise the capabilities that create the most value for your first release. The estimator lets you explore each addition and plan your investment as the system develops.

Invoicing

Invoices raised from your completed work, applying your agreed contract terms.

Taking payment

Card, bank transfer and direct debit, reconciled against the invoice without anyone matching them up.

Chasing what you are owed

Overdue accounts followed up on your schedule, in your tone, stopping the moment they pay.

Recurring charges

Subscriptions, retainers and memberships billed on time, with failures recovered on their own.

Your pricing rules, applied for you

Volume breaks, customer rates, surcharges and every exception, applied the same way by everyone.

Approvals

Routed by your own rules, including who covers when someone is away, and chased when they stall.

Reading documents as they arrive

Figures taken out of invoices, notes and certificates, checked, and only queried when genuinely unclear.

Checked against what you expected

Each document set against the order, the contract or the rate card, and held back when it disagrees.

The sort of detail that matters

  • Staged payments and retentions
  • One consolidated account across a customer's sites
  • Paid from a link in the invoice
  • Direct debit collected on the day it is due
  • Rates that differ per customer and change mid-contract
  • Materials priced at this week's cost

04How it would run

10 to 22 weeks, in five phases you approve one at a time.

  1. 01

    Getting to the truth

    A written account of how your work really runs today, what the current way is costing you, and what your new system has to do about it.

  2. 02

    Shaping it

    Every screen and every decision your system will make, in front of you and signed off, with your live date fixed at the end of it.

  3. 03

    Building it

    Your system takes shape week by week in your own account, with something you can click on and try at the end of every fortnight.

  4. 04

    Proving it

    Your own people put it through real work with real records, and everything they find is fixed before anybody depends on it.

  5. 05

    Going live

    Your team moves across trained, with their history intact, on the date fixed months earlier.

05Asked most often

The questions that come up.

We use Xero. Does this replace it?

Xero can remain your accounting system. Your bespoke workflow calculates invoices using your contract rules and posts the agreed records across, with reconciliation and exception handling.

Can it handle staged payments and retentions?

Yes. Your scope can include staged payments, retentions, credits, consolidated accounts and customer-specific rates, with rules validated during design.

How soon is it billing real customers?

An indicative delivery range is 10–22 weeks, depending on scope. Your proposal confirms the schedule, validation and transition arrangements.

06The rest of it

Most projects are two or three of these at once.
