Spreadsheets Vs QuickBilling

One billing trail per engagement.

The Old Way

Phase fees tracked in a spreadsheet

  • Reimbursables absorbed
  • Retainers billed from memory
  • No view of billed vs cost

With QuickBilling

A separate invoice per phase

  • Reimbursables as line items
  • Retainers prepared on schedule
  • Costs linked per client

What QuickBilling Doesn’t Do

There’s no time tracking or timesheet billing. Converting a proposal copies all of it, so trim it to the phase you’re billing; earlier payments aren’t deducted automatically.

What Customers Say

“I built QuickBilling because sending an invoice should feel like sending a link. I want to know when it has been opened, and I want reminders to go out before and after the due date without me writing them by hand.”

Saif Qureshi
Saif QureshiFounder, Solution Plus Tech Consultancy, Sharjah

“I send an estimate as a link, my client accepts it without needing an account, and I convert it to an invoice in one click.”

Usama Ahmad

“I can see when a client has opened an invoice, and the reminder schedule does the nudging for me. I no longer write those awkward follow-up emails.”
