For bookkeepers & accountants

Invoicing for bookkeepers and accountants

You keep other people’s books immaculate, so your own billing should be the tidiest of the lot. Set your monthly retainers to raise and send themselves, and export the exact records you’d ask any client to hand you at year end.

Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.

Your own books, done properly

Retainers, year-end projects, clean records

A practice bills the same clients the same fee every month, with the odd year-end or setup project on top, and lives or dies by a tidy paper trail. Sendinvo raises all of it and keeps the record clean.

Retainers that raise themselves

Most of the ledger is the same monthly fee to the same clients. Set a schedule per client with recurring invoices and Sendinvo raises the next one and sends it on your cadence, with the next number in your sequence.

Records you’d be happy to receive

Export your invoices and a payments ledger with CSV exports, the tidy handover you’d ask of any client at year end. A client who runs their own books on Sendinvo can hand you the same two files.

Documents that stand up

Every invoice is a VAT-ready A4 PDF in your branding with professional PDFs. When a client’s accountant asks where the account stands, send a client statement: every issued invoice, its balance, and the total still owed, on one page.

Adjustments to the penny

Over-billed a retainer month or need to unwind a project fee? Issue a credit note that adjusts the invoice exactly, then log settlements and refunds with recorded payments so the balance reconciles.

Set it once

How a retainer runs

1

Set the schedule

Build the retainer invoice once, pick the client, and set it to repeat monthly. Add VAT if you’re registered.

2

It sends on its own

On the 1st, Sendinvo raises and emails the next invoice, with the next number in your sequence.

3

Chased and recorded

Overdue retainers chase themselves in your words, and each payment lands against the invoice on its own.

Questions

Good to know

Can I set up a monthly retainer that invoices itself?

Yes. Set a recurring schedule per client and Sendinvo raises the next invoice and sends it automatically, monthly or on whatever cadence you agree, with the next number in your sequence.

Can I export my invoices and payments for the year?

Yes. Export your invoices and a payments ledger to CSV, the tidy handover you’d want from any client at year end. And a client who runs their own books on Sendinvo can hand you the same two files.

Can I correct an invoice after I’ve sent it?

Yes. Issue a credit note to adjust an invoice to the penny, and record every payment and refund against it so your records reconcile. A credit note is a proper document, not a quiet edit.

Can I manage my clients’ Sendinvo accounts for them?

No. Sendinvo is single-user and single-company, so there’s no advisor login or multi-user access. It’s for invoicing your own clients and keeping your own records clean. If a client uses Sendinvo too, they can send you their invoice and payment CSVs at year end.

Keep your own books as clean as your clients’.

Start free, set a retainer running, and let the raising, chasing, and recording look after themselves.
