How it works

From billed work to collected fees, automatically

We automate your practice billing workflow end-to-end: retainers go out on schedule, WIP invoices trigger on milestones, and reminders run in the background until payment is received.

01
Set your billing rules
We map your retainer dates, WIP stages, invoice templates, and client contacts so every invoice is created consistently, without admin bottlenecks.
02
Send invoices automatically
Retainer invoices go out on the billing date. WIP invoices generate and send as soon as a milestone is completed, so revenue doesn’t sit waiting for “someone to invoice it”.
03
Run reminders + escalation
Automated reminder sequences follow up for you, stop instantly when payment is recorded, and keep an audit trail your partners can trust.

AR automation that fits retainers and WIP

FAQ

Accounting Firm AR Automation FAQ

Common questions from UK accounting firms, bookkeepers, and tax advisers running monthly retainers and WIP billing.

Can you automate both monthly retainers and WIP milestone invoicing?
Yes. We set up scheduled retainer billing dates and define WIP triggers (milestones, status changes, or approvals) so invoices send automatically without relying on manual handoffs.
What happens when a client pays?
Once payment is recorded, reminders stop automatically and the invoice is marked as settled. Your team keeps a clear audit trail of what was sent and when.
Can we customise reminder tone, timing, and escalation rules?
Absolutely. We build your reminder sequence in your practice voice, set timing rules (for example 7/14/21 days), and agree escalation steps so partners aren’t pulled into chasing.
How fast can we go live?
Most firms go live in 5–10 days. We confirm templates, retainer schedules, WIP triggers, and reminder rules, then launch with monitoring so your first cycle runs smoothly.
Is it month-to-month and what’s included in the retainer?
Yes, it’s month-to-month. The retainer covers monitoring, continuous improvements to billing rules and sequences, and ongoing support so your AR automation keeps performing as your client base grows.
Ready to reduce WIP lockup and debtor days?

We’ll automate retainer billing, WIP invoicing, and payment reminders for your practice, so partners spend time on clients, not chasing payments.
