Generally, creative entrepreneurs don’t strike out on their own because they love figuring out business processes, like invoice software and other at-times mundane admin work.
They work as contractors, freelancers and business owners so they can do more of what they love, whether that’s graphic design, painting, jewelry design, or something else completely.
If you’re a creative worker who seriously dreads some of the business savvy details of being a business owner, we have you covered. Our project management software is easy to use and keeps your business super organized.
But first, I’ve outlined five reasons why you can stop dreading your invoice process.
1. Using Invoice Software is Now Easier than Paint by Numbers
Our easy-to-use project management platform offers built-in invoice software with a payment app, regardless of the size of your business.
As a freelancer, we understand that you’re busy enough with client work and you shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you need to send an invoice. We’ve created a comprehensive invoicing system that allows you to seamlessly migrate your tasks into an invoice.
Our system also lets you track your time spent on projects and calculates a total bill for you based on your clocked hours.
Better yet? Our system lets you sign up for a payment account in less than two minutes. Take the struggle out of invoicing your clients and leave it up to us.
2. Make Professional Invoices (and Quotes) a Reality
Say hello to a more polished, professional look for your business – sans stuffy formatting that doesn’t reflect your creativity. One of the best features of our invoice system is the ability to customize your invoices with your company information and logo.
With a few simple clicks, your payment requests are branded.
When it comes to the details, you can generate task descriptions and itemized lists for each part of your invoice, taking the guesswork out of your rates for your clients.
And, if clearly stating your rates has ever been a challenge, a part of Spera’s freelancer payment portal is a quote generation tool that helps you customize quotes based on your menu of service offerings.
You can send a client a custom invoice in mere seconds.
3. Collecting Payments can Be Automatic
Let’s get to the good stuff- how soon can you get paid? How does NOW sound?
Accepting payment from your clients has never been easier. Spera Payments accepts a wide range of payment types, from credit cards to ACH and in-person transfers. Plus, our cryptocurrency platform is in the works, for those of you who want a payment option that’s as flexible and forward-thinking as you are.
Forgot to send an invoice?
Our software allows you to easily keep track of when your invoices are overdue.
Missing a payment from a client?
We also send you updates on who owes you money, and if any partial payments have been made towards any of your invoices.
4. Keeping It Simple for Your Clients is Simple
As an entrepreneur, it’s your job to make the invoicing process as easy as possible for your clients, too.
Our platform lets clients pay you straight from the invoices you send them. No more waiting for their checks to come in the mail or emailing back and forth to get your Paypal email.
You can also send your invoices via multiple formats, allowing your clients to decide whether they prefer a PDF, email attachment, or in-platform link. Additionally, when your client has a Spera account, they can pay you without any fees.
Not the case? No worries, our fees are still some of the lowest in our industry.
Ultimately, allowing your clients the ability to pay with the click of a button makes life easier for everyone.
5. Invoicing Team Projects is No Longer a Headache
If you’re working in a team setting, it’s important that everyone is on the same page when it comes to invoicing.
Our payment dashboard allows your group to set a variety of privacy settings for your invoices, track time spent working per project and per person and easily add tasks as they arise.
Whether you’re working with a partner or a freelancer, you can oversee the entire process
Start Using Better Invoice Software and Avoid the Hassle
Whether you work in a creative industry or not, the monthly invoicing process for your business doesn’t have to be painful.
It’s time to retire your manual process of creating a new bill for your clients each month, chasing them for payment, and trying to manage who owes you what.
Opt for a smarter, more professional process that allows you (and possibly your team) to:
- Easily set up your automated billing schedule
- Customize your invoices to reflect your business
- Allow your client to pay in whatever way is most convenient for them
- Give your client access to their account to review what’s been paid and what’s coming up
- Collect payments quicker and more seamlessly
- Set up automatic reminders when payments are due
