Fee receivables under control
Architecture billing software
Architecture billing software for fees that take months to collect. Phase and hourly invoices go out monthly with due dates, owners who pay slowly are reminded without a principal picking up the phone, and each project's statement shows what has been billed against the fee.
A short tour of the screens this page describes. It is filmed with our demo pest control company, and every trade runs on the same screens.

Monthly fee invoices
Most firms bill on the first of the month, covering the phase work completed and any hourly additional services. Each invoice carries the client's terms, and the developer's accounts team receives a copy.
InvoicingReceivables past 60 days
Design fees often sit unpaid during permitting. The aging totals on the payments page show how much of your fee is stuck past 60 days, client by client.
ReportsReminders without awkward calls
Overdue fee invoices are reminded three times over two weeks by email and text, keeping the relationship about the design rather than the bill.
Automatic emailsRetainers for ongoing clients
A developer who keeps you on for planning studies can subscribe to a monthly retainer from your portal, charged on schedule apart from project invoices.
Recurring plansProject statements
Owners open a private link listing every fee invoice and payment on their project, so billing questions stop at the statement.
