# Invoicing & Payments for General Contractors

Progress invoicing and collections for general contractors

Draw requests and progress invoices go out on schedule, balances get chased past terms, and payments land by card or ACH — cutting weeks off your days-to-cash.

## Why it works for this trade
- **Invoice against progress:** Invoices are generated from project milestones and completion status, so billing keeps pace with the work automatically.
- **Collections without awkward calls:** Overdue balances get professional, persistent follow-up — you stay the builder, not the bill collector.
- **Cash position at a glance:** Billed, collected and outstanding totals per job, so you always know which projects are carrying your cash flow.

## A day in the life
A draw hits its milestone on Friday. The invoice goes out that afternoon, the client pays online Monday, and the aging report stays clean without a single reminder call from you.

## FAQ
Q: Can clients pay by card or bank transfer?
A: Yes — invoices include online payment by card and ACH, and paid invoices reconcile against the project automatically.
