Not likely, unless you\u2019re an accountant of course. Most likely, you started your business because you love the job, product, or service you sell. As a business owner, however, you can\u2019t ignore the paperwork which comes along with owning your own business. The monetary side of a business is vital and the proper invoicing of your clients means cash in the bank and satisfied customers.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Invoicing help online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Online invoicing services are plentiful nowadays that make the financial side of business far more manageable. Online services make the laborious task of paperwork much quicker.\u00a0 Depending on the service you employ, the communication to the client can even be automatic! Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most respected online invoicing services available:<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A free but powerful invoicing service <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the word \u201cfree\u201d is synonymous with \u201cnot very good.\u201d Happily, that is not the case with the free system, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billingboss.com\">BillingBoss<\/a>. Excellent for most small businesses that want to automatically invoice customers on a monthly basis and periodic once-off invoicing, BillingBoss packs a big punch at no cost!<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A power tool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www304.americanexpress.com\/BusinessApps\/AppCenter\/AcceptPay\">AcceptPay<\/a> isn\u2019t free. It costs $30 a month, but it\u2019s a robust program. Offered by American Express, AcceptPay works with QuickBooks, will accept online payments, and of course, offers you an array of options when it comes to sending out invoices and collecting payments. The $30 investment is a small price to pay for such a potent online invoicing tool.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Invoicing for the tech-savvy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you desire more control over your online invoicing, you might consider downloading <a href=\"http:\/\/bambooinvoice.org\/\">BambooInvoice<\/a>. This is another free service. What sets it apart, though, is that small business owners host it on their own servers, not in the cloud. Because it\u2019s an open source program, tech-savvy entrepreneurs can personalize it to fit their business\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t even mentioned the best part yet. These three services are only a drop in the very full bucket of accessible online invoicing services. Many are free or extremely cost effective, but can greatly enhance your workflow and ease the pain of that aggravating stack of paperwork.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Did you start your business because you love paperwork? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Online Invoicing the Easy Way | Next Hop Solutions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Online Invoicing the Easy Way.
