How accounting billing works in Smarfle

From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.

  1. 1

    Customer signs up for recurring service

    Via portal subscribe button or office-generated first invoice. Card saves to Stripe Customer.

  2. 2

    Auto-charge runs on schedule

    Daily cron processes recurring invoices, charges saved cards off-session. accounting owner sleeps; revenue lands.

  3. 3

    Failed cards trigger retries + emails

    Stripe auto-retries 3-4 times. If all fail, customer gets an email link to update their card. No manual chase.

  4. 4

    Customer gets receipt + invoice instantly

    Each successful charge fires a receipt email + creates a Paid invoice in Smarfle. Aging report stays clean.

  5. 5

    Owner sees monthly recurring revenue

    Subscription dashboard shows what's coming next 30 days. Cashflow forecasting actually possible.

Where accounting billing breaks down

The friction every accounting owner recognizes.

Monthly retainers manually invoiced = late payments

Manual invoicing slips on busy weeks. Recurring auto-charge eliminates the chase.

Tax-season project fees collected late

Filed return Friday, invoice waits until next week, payment 30 days later. Same-day invoice + saved card auto-charge fix it.

Advisory contract pricing changes annually

Annual rate increase needs to apply to recurring billing. Bulk-edit + auto-notify fixes the pain of updating one client at a time.

The math for accounting owners

Cut AR by 80% on recurring revenue

Auto-charge saved cards for recurring service contracts. Failed payments auto-retry + email customer. The chasing-payments task disappears.

Accounting Billing Software CRM questions

Recurring monthly service template. First invoice saves the card, auto-charge handles future months. Customer + owner both get receipts.
Yes. Generate the invoice on filing completion. If client has saved card from monthly retainer, one-click charge.
Bulk-edit recurring service prices. Next charge cycle uses new price + clients get notification of the change.
Edit the recurring service template's price. Clients get a notification + the new rate kicks in next cycle. Bulk-edit lets you push a 5% annual increase across all retainer clients in one action.
Reports surface both views. Invoice date drives accrual; payment date drives cash. Export either bucket for tax filing or client reports. Most CPAs use accrual for monthly statements + cash for tax prep.
