Templates
Customizable invoice templates standardize line items, retainage fields, tax calculations, and billing periods so teams can generate consistent invoices quickly and reduce errors across projects.
Standardized sample invoices reduce disputes, speed approvals, and ensure consistent accounting entries across projects while providing a clear, auditable record for payments and retainage management.
Project Managers prepare invoices with line-item detail, confirm completed work and percent complete, request approvals from finance, and resolve discrepancies with subcontractors before routing final invoices for payment authorization.
Finance Administrators validate invoice totals against contracts, manage retainage and payment schedules, post approved invoices to the accounting system, and maintain retention records for audits and regulatory compliance.
