Honest by design

You stay in control.

Editable first

SayInvoice prepares a draft. You check every customer, job, price, VAT or CIS setting and term.

Prepared is not sent

Sharing stays yours

SayInvoice opens an external sharing option with the PDF ready. You complete the final send.

Marked sent is not delivery proof

Payment status stays honest

Record an invoice or deposit as paid yourself. SayInvoice does not collect or reconcile payments.

Marked paid is not bank verification

Late payment

Make late payment harder to ignore

Create invoice PDFs with clear due dates, payment wording, bank details, and invoice history so late-paying clients are easier to follow up with.

Why clear invoices help

  • The customer sees exactly what is owed.
  • The due date is visible.
  • The payment reference is easier to use.

What to include

  • Payment due date.
  • Bank details.
  • Invoice number as payment reference.
  • Polite late payment wording where appropriate.

Practical example

“Payment due within 7 days by bank transfer. Please use invoice SI-128 as the reference so payment can be matched quickly.”

More than invoices

Paperwork, follow-ups and clean records for your accountant.

Keep receipt photos and reviewed costs together. Check VAT and expected CIS figures. When an invoice is overdue, SayInvoice prepares a polite follow-up for you to review and send.

Turn quotes into invoices

Convert accepted work into a separate invoice draft, then check any final changes.

Keep photos, receipts and costs

Review suggested receipt details, link costs to jobs and choose which job photos appear on customer PDFs.

Record payment status and follow up

Mark work sent or paid yourself. Due dates highlight overdue invoices, with private alerts and editable messages for you to send.

Remember customers and sites

Reuse customer details and keep private access notes away from customer PDFs.

See the month clearly

Review invoices, payments, overdue work and practical business insights.

Prepare the accountant pack

Choose a workbook, CSV pack or PDF pack with invoice and checked cost records, matching PDFs and confirmed receipt photos for your accountant to review.

What the pack includes

VAT, expected CIS, deposit, recorded payment, confirmed-cost and attention checks. CSV keeps the workbook sections in separate files. It is prepared for review, not tax filing. CSV packs are available on web/PWA now and in the iPhone update awaiting Apple review.

Choose your export format

Use your own Xero business

Paid members can connect their own Xero organisation on the web or iPhone, choose invoices and checked receipts, then review and export drafts. Optional payment recording needs separate review and confirmation of the amount, date and receiving account. It does not collect money or reconcile your bank. New connections are subject to availability.
