Architect invoicing software for easier invoicing & faster payments

To start making an architect invoice, you’ll want to gather the approved estimate and any change orders you’ve already issued for a project. Next, you’ll need to create a new document that takes into account any charges the client is responsible for and identify it as an invoice. The fastest way to create invoices is to use an architect billing software, which will help automate your calculations, integrate with your accounting tools and allow your clients to pay securely online.

At a minimum, an architect invoice should contain the following elements:

1. Your company’s contact information
2. Your client’s contact information
3. Invoice number
4. Date the invoice was prepared
5. A list of services or materials provided
6. Subtotal, VAT, fees and the grand total
7. Payment terms

To up your chances of prompt payment, we also recommend you include:

• Your company’s logo for an added dose of professionalism 
• Detailed descriptions of items or services 
• Other documents or files included as attachments like the approved estimate and any change orders so you and your client are always on the same page(s).

With so many architects looking to digitise their business, there are many types of architect invoice software available on the market today. When looking for an invoicing software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

• Online Payment Functionality: An architect invoice software that also allows clients to conveniently pay online helps cut down on the time it takes for you to get paid. Offering payment methods like credit cards provide safe and secure options that are faster than waiting for a cheque to clear.
• Time & Expense Tracking: While your estimate should get you pretty close to understanding what resources a project will require, it’s important that your invoice will capture all time and expenses accrued along the way. Your architect billing software should come equipped with time and expense tracking tools that aren’t just simple for your team to use, but that allow you to track as accurately as possible.
• Accounting Integrations: The architect invoice software you choose should integrate with your accounting software so you don’t have to enter financial data more than once. This also helps cut down on time preparing for tax returns. Double win!
