Mobile-first invoicing for busy owners
Busy owners invoice between other jobs. Mobile-first means the whole bill is a line you can type on a phone, then a link you paste.
The owner’s phone is the accounts desk
Owners who still do the work do not get a quiet hour for invoicing. The mobile-first version of this job is deliberately small. Open the page, change the client and the two prices, copy the link, paste it into the message you were going to send anyway. A written report is a separate line from the hours on site, because the landlord is paying for both. There is no claim here that the product chases the landlord, files the inspection or manages the property. Those are different tools. There is also no timer that sends the text at 6pm. If you are busy, the win is a draft that exists before you forget the fee. Solo, Pro and Studio only change how many invoices you can save in a month, not whether you still have to press send.
Riverside Lettings inventory is invoiced: two hours plus the written report, $200, due in 14 days. https://invoicetxt.com/i/your-link
Type it before you leave the property
The report fee is easy to forget once you are driving.
Keep the invoice to the lines a landlord expects
Hours on site, then the report. Extra admin language slows you down.
Paste into the existing thread
A busy owner should not start a new channel for every bill.
Batch only the sending, not the remembering
If you create three drafts in the afternoon, send three links. Do not merge three landlords.
What to put on this invoice
- The property or the client
- Time on site
- The report or the outcome
- A due date you can enforce without a chase sequence
Questions about this job
Can someone else send what I draft?
Yes. The link can be pasted by an assistant. Agree the total first so they are not negotiating in the thread.
Will reminders go out while I am on a job?
Not from this product. If you want a chase, send another text yourself or use a tool that actually sends reminders.
Is a desktop invoice more official?
The PDF from the phone is the same file. Official is the business name, the lines and the total, not the size of the screen.
Busy owners do not need a smaller accounting suite. They need the invoice finished before the next thing starts.
