I’ve been in business for about a year now and just the other night, it dawned on me. When I am trying to go to sleep at night, I spend more time planning more of the next day’s actual work. What i dont spend time thinking about is billing my clients. Before you jump to any conclusions, its not that i dont cover or track my billling in quickbooks like everyone else. I am just also using a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution recommended to me when I went into business. It is a hourly billing and invoicing software solution that lets me manage my projects and clients. Bill them, invoice them and transfer everything to quick books. Oh and they’ve just added a new timer, it’s a special add-in i think, but its lets you have mutliple timers up for different clients at a time (don’t worry only one timer runs at once.)
While this post comes across as promotional. I’m a registered user managing 2 contractors, and not worrying about anything but that. They enter their time online, I enter my time and the,n generate an invoice i’ve previously configured to show/hide specific details about the work performed by each person or for what project. Like anything new, you have to just get in and use it. You’ll worry less about billing and more about new work.
