Billing and payments · For accounting firms

Bill faster. Get paid automatically.

Turn unbilled work into invoices that charge themselves. Clients save a payment method the moment they accept your proposal, and invoices charge it automatically. Recurring invoices and optional Xero or QuickBooks Online sync.

01

Turn WIP into invoices

See every unbilled hour and fixed fee in one list. Adjust, batch select, and create invoices in a few clicks.

02

Get paid automatically

Clients save a card or bank account when they accept your proposal. Invoices charge it automatically, including work billed when the job completes. No chasing, no first-payment wait.

03

Keep AR under control

Aged receivables bucketed at 30, 60, 90+ days. Filter by client or owner and triage overdue accounts in seconds.

From proposal to paid, in one flow.

A three minute tour: your client accepts once, then invoicing, payment collection, and reporting run themselves.

WIP to invoice

Turn tracked time and fixed fees into invoices in one pass.

Open the unbilled WIP view to see every hour logged, every fixed fee outstanding, every client ready to be billed, grouped by client with the detail one click away. Bill all of a client's work in one click, or pick individual jobs, and the work lands on draft invoices ready for review.

  • Unbilled WIP view across all jobs and clients
  • Bill a client's entire unbilled balance in one click
  • Batch-create draft invoices from selected jobs
  • Manual and fixed-fee invoices for non-time work

Draft review

Review every draft before it sends.

Billing from WIP opens a full review screen, not a finished invoice. Group lines by service, by job, or into one line, edit descriptions and amounts inline, and watch write-ups and write-downs update live as you shape each draft. Nothing sends until you approve.

  • Line grouping: by service, by job, or one line
  • Write-ups and write-downs shown live per line
  • Edit descriptions and amounts inline
  • Discard a draft and its time returns to WIP

Auto-charging

Send the invoice. Cards on file charge themselves.

Clients save a payment method when they accept your proposal, before any work starts. From then on invoices charge automatically, including jobs priced up front and billed when the work is done. Prefer cards to carry their cost? Pass the processing fee to clients who pay by card, while bank payments stay free.

  • Payment method saved at proposal acceptance
  • Bill on completion: price the job up front, charge when it's done
  • Pass the card fee to clients who choose card. Bank payments stay free
  • One-click pay link by card or bank, partial and manual payments too
  • Lock a finished return behind its invoice: the client pays, the document unlocks

Recurring invoices

Set monthly bookkeeping retainers once. The invoices run themselves.

Build the recurring invoice once with the line items, schedule, and client. Tidyflow generates and (optionally) auto-sends each cycle. Bookkeeping, payroll, monthly close, advisory retainers. Less manual billing every period.

  • Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom cadence
  • Auto-generate or auto-send each cycle
  • Edit a single instance without breaking the schedule
Aged receivables

Know exactly who owes you what, and how long it's been.

Aged receivables bucketed at current, 30, 60, and 90+ days. Group by client or service. Drill in to chase the oldest balances first, or hand the list to whoever owns AR this week. No more fishing through QuickBooks for the same answer.

  • Bucketed by 30 / 60 / 90+ days
  • Group by client, service type, or owner
  • Export to Excel for partner meetings

Billing questions firms ask us most.

No. You can create and send invoices directly from Tidyflow without syncing to an external accounting system. Syncing to QuickBooks Online or Xero is optional.

Yes. Compose, brand, and email invoices straight from Tidyflow. Each invoice includes a one-click pay link, so clients can pay by card without logging in.

Yes. Every invoice you send includes a secure pay link to a Stripe-powered payment page, and clients can pay by card or bank debit. Clients save a payment method when they accept a proposal, and invoices charge it automatically. You can still record manual payments (full or partial) when needed.

Yes, for US and Canadian firms. Clients choose at payment: bank debit at the invoice amount, or card with the processing fee added. Automatic charges of a saved credit card include the fee, disclosed before the client accepts the proposal. The fee only applies to credit cards. Debit card fees are refunded automatically.

Yes. Mark a proposal line as billed on completion. Your client agrees to the price up front, and when the job is marked completed the invoice is raised and charged to their saved payment method automatically.

Yes. Record full or partial payments against invoices and Tidyflow keeps the outstanding balance accurate.
