Studio conceptThis is a studio concept: a worked example of what we would build for a business like this. It is not client work and shows no client data.

Try it

See it work.

Run a month of retainer invoices. Drag through March or press play, and pay any invoice early to see its reminders stop. Sample data only: nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The challenge

The partners invoice by hand at month end. Payments arrive anywhere from two to eight weeks later, and nobody enjoys chasing.

The approach

01

Invoice on schedule

Retainer invoices raised in Xero on the 1st, with a payment link.

02

Chase in stages

Friendly at 7 days, firmer at 14, a call task at 21. All stop when paid.

03

See the cash

An aged-debt summary emailed every Monday.

What we built

  • Scheduled retainer invoices
  • Three-stage reminder flow by email and WhatsApp
  • Payment links on every invoice
