In the first in a series of articles on how to get the most out of your cloud accounting software, we talk about how to get the most out of your invoicing functions in your cloud accounting software.
Send Invoices fast
No need to send out invoices by mail or even copy/paste job by e-mail. Cloud accounting allows you to send invoices direct to customers anytime, anywhere immediately using the accounting software or mobile app straight to their e-mail address.
Have customers that you send invoices to regularly? Then schedule invoices to be generated and sent out automatically so you don’t have to touch a button.
Client Tracking
Once an invoice has been sent to a customer, you will be able to track the activity of the invoice and see if the e-mail has been received and when they last viewed the invoice. No more excuses that they haven’t seen the invoice and making chasing the money from customers easier.
Quick Reminders
Send out automatic gentle reminders to customers who have amounts outstanding. For customers that you have great relationships with, or those that owe a small amount, simply set parameters so exclude reminders if they’re deemed not necessary.
Faster Payments
Make the client experience quick and easy by accepting online payments with the use of a payment services such as Bpay, PayPal, Stripe or eWay, among the payment services that MYOB, Intuit and Xero connect to. Data from these providers shows that on average the establishment of an online service facilitates customers paying up to two times quicker compared to those without these options.
