Invoices can help you understand your tax obligations and manage your GST credits.īy storing and organising your invoices – both the ones you send to customers and any that you get from suppliers – you'll get a clearer idea of how much GST you need to pay and if you qualify for any GST credits. Including your time on invoices also helps to set expectations with your customers so that they know how time factors into the cost and what to expect in the future. By including how long it takes to source, build or provide your products and services on your invoices, you can keep a track of what you spend your time doing – and then set your prices to reflect that. Invoices can help you track your time and set your prices.
They can also flag financial challenges and help you prepare for them, like when sales drop or when customers aren't paying on time. Invoices can show you patterns in your sales so you can see when people are buying certain products, and what products are selling best.
They also help manage your cash flow, track your time and understand your tax. Invoices are more than just a way for your customers to pay you.
