Generating Invoices

Create professional invoices from your tracked time and expenses.

Intermediate5 min readUpdated 2024-12-06

Most appraisers building invoices by hand in Word or Excel spend 15 to 30 minutes per file copying hours, calculating travel splits, totaling mileage, and formatting the document. Do that on 20 files a month and you have lost an entire workday to retyping data you already entered once.

Generating the invoice from your tracked time eliminates that step. The math is right because the system did it. The branding is right because the business profile is wired up. The bill-to address is right because the recipient is on file. What used to be a 20 minute task becomes about 90 seconds.

Useful for every appraiser who bills. Especially useful when a TPA holds your invoice up for a math error or a typo, because that does not happen here.
