The invoice fog

Drafts in one place. Overdue in another. Chase in a third.

You raise an invoice, forget to send it, then discover the overdue list only when cash gets tight.

Drafts left sitting

Work done, invoice half-written, and nobody notices until month-end.

?Status is a mystery

Sent, viewed, paid or overdue lives in email and spreadsheets, not next to the customer.

!Chase starts too late

Cashwatch™ and Customers need a clear overdue list. Without it, chasing unpaid invoices is guesswork.

How Invoices works

Three steps.
From draft to paid (or chased).

Raise or import invoices through Connect. Track status here. Overdue items feed Customers and Cashwatch™.

1Draft or import invoices

Create drafts from work done, or bring invoice lists in as Excel, CSV or PDF. Alfred only reads what you give him.

2Track status in one list

See draft, sent, paid and overdue without opening five tools. Odd balances wait for a glance.

3Chase when cash needs it

Overdue invoices surface in Customers and Cashwatch™. Use the chase unpaid invoices guide for the playbook. Regulated calls still need a named professional.

Why it pays off

Invoices with cash attached.

The same clear invoice view large firms take for granted, kept next to Customers, Cashwatch™ and Financials.

Time backStatus without the hunt

Draft, sent, paid and overdue in one list, so Monday morning is a glance not a spreadsheet rebuild.

AssuranceA real accountant signs off

Every regulated call is reviewed and certified by a qualified professional. Alfred never gives regulated advice.

AccurateOverdue you can act on

Open balances feed Customers and Cashwatch™, so chasing unpaid invoices starts from facts.
