Only the right solution lets you spend less time managing invoicing, and more time growing your business.
Invoices are an essential part of most businesses’ finances.
A properly-designed invoice helps you get paid on time, provides legal protection for you and your client, and validates your company’s revenue. While invoices are undoubtedly important, you don’t need to spend time or energy manually generating them.
Manually generated invoices can often include errors that could lead to late payments and ultimately harm your business’ chances for success. A constant cash flow is necessary for keeping the lights on, paying staff and purchasing supplies. When payments are delayed, it
can create significant problems. Yet small businesses spend an average of 130 hours each year chasing late invoices and often don’t receive outstanding payments until 30 days after the contractually-agreed terms.
With invoicing software, you can easily create, edit and send invoices from anywhere, at any time. An automated billing system promptly dispatches and tracks invoices to help reduce the risk of late or missed payments. Invoicing software can also remind customers and clients about upcoming deadlines.
Unpaid invoices happen for many reasons. One of the most common reasons is when statements contain errors. Invoices include crucial information about your company, your client and the services provided, and clients can refuse to pay when this information is incorrect or doesn’t match their records.
Invoicing software avoids human error by storing customer data and automatically generating statements. Sage also offers invoicing templates to make it easy to create professional invoices. Our templates work seamlessly with Sage invoicing and accounting software and make payment processing easy, so you won’t need to waste valuable time or worry about typos delaying important payments.
Invoicing software can automatically reconcile your incoming payments, meaning you don't waste time manually transferring data.

The finance department is a hub of strategic and operational insight in most businesses. But while they absorb high volumes of data, the outputs tend to be small and periodic, such as ‘revenue earned against targets for the third quarter’. Getting this information periodically, although important for business management, means that, by the time the […]
