Invoice packages at the start of the month and extras at the end; clients on autopay rarely fall behind.
Put clear payment instructions (bank transfer, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal or card link) in the Payment details box, so paying you takes one step.
Frequently asked questions
Fixed monthly fee or hourly?
Most small-business bookkeepers charge a monthly package based on transaction volume, plus hourly rates for catch-up and special projects. Both fit on one invoice.
Is InvoiceCrisp really free?
Yes. You can create and download unlimited invoices, estimates and receipts for free, with no sign-up. The free version uses the Classic template and adds a small "Created with InvoiceCrisp" line at the bottom. Pro removes it and adds more templates, saved clients and history.
