Any tips on how to track invoices for small businesses without using complex software?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to keep things simple and avoid complicated software for tracking invoices in my small business. Does anyone have a method or tool that worked for them? Thanks for any suggestions!

I rely on a simple digital log and manual checks. This old method makes sure I never miss a payment.

I keep it simple by using an invoice app that lets me create and send invoices quickly. I record each invoice by date and client name and use the app’s basic tracking features to see what’s been paid. It also sends automatic reminders, which helps me avoid chasing payments. This method saves time and reduces errors compared to complex software.

i usually keep it super simple by using tofu to track my invoices. i update each job as soon as it’s done and check my monthly summary to catch any delays. works great for someone managing everything alone without fuss.

I tend to stick with a basic spreadsheet. I record the date, client, amount, and payment status. This way, I can easily check outstanding payments without juggling a lot of extra features.
