There’s no longer any need to think back and remember details about the work you did the past month. Simply track it as you go, then invoice it.
For many freelancers and small businesses, invoicing often happens days or weeks after the work itself. The details can get blurry after a while. Small tasks are as easy to forget as they were to actually perform.
With Track & invoice, instead of relying on memory or scattered post-its, you can track your work as it happens and invoice with confidence when you’re ready.
Fits your established invoice schedule
Some clients are billed hourly. Others are ongoing. Sometimes work happens in short bursts across multiple days, and invoicing only makes sense at the end of the week or month.
It stands to reason that sending an invoice every time you complete a task simply doesn’t make sense. But neither does trying to reconstruct everything from memory later.
Now you can record work when it happens. Each entry stays connected to the customer and slots neatly into the product lines on the invoice.
Track first. Invoice when you’re ready
With Track & invoice, you can actually separate two things that don’t always belong together: doing the work and sending the invoice.
You can log any sort of unit, whether it’s time, services, or billable tasks, at the click of a button. Nothing is committed to paper (so to speak), nothing is charged, it’s simply added to the list.
As the entries accumulate, you can see which clients have billable work waiting, how much is ready to invoice, and when you last worked on each client.
It’s surprising how much you can forget in a month’s time, so having this feature can be a huge help.
A better overview of your income
One of the biggest benefits of tracking work before invoicing is visibility.
Now, you can see the total value of work that’s ready to be invoiced. This gives you a much better sense of upcoming income, especially useful if you invoice periodically rather than immediately.
Otherwise, you only see the value being generated at the time of invoicing.
Invoicing is now the easy part
When you decide to invoice a client, Conta gathers all tracked entries and turns them into invoice line items (product lines) automatically. Simply review and adjust if needed, then send the invoice with confidence.
Naturally, the tracked entries disappear from your list once they are invoiced, ensuring nothing is billed twice.
Track & invoice helps both by removing tedium and uncertainty from your invoicing.
Adapted to how you actually work
One of the things we want to do with Conta is be adaptable to how people actually work throughout their day.
Whether you bill hourly or per task, or perhaps on a more sporadic basis with a mix of both, Conta handles it with Track & invoice.
Take control and reduce the stress factor
Think of it like this: If you make it a habit to track your work as you go, you will have a record of exactly what you’ve done, exactly what you’re charging for, and exactly what’s ready to send.
Not only can this reduce the stress factor, it can result in actual fewer missed billable hours, fewer awkward corrections, and less trying to remember something that happened 30 days ago, which, it bears repeating, is harder than you think sometimes!
Getting paid shouldn’t rely on you having perfect memory. So Track & invoice is there to help.
