Just wrapped up a project and realized I need to invoice right away. Client’s expecting it before I leave the site. My laptop’s at home, and I’m stuck with just my phone. Anyone else invoice on-the-go? What’s your process look like? Feeling a bit frazzled trying to make this work smoothly.
I’ve been invoicing from my phone for a while now. It’s totally doable with the right setup.
Here’s what works for me:
- Cloud-based invoicing software
- Templates for common jobs
- A Bluetooth keyboard (game-changer for typing on phones)
I keep my client info and pricing stored in the cloud. When I’m done, I just pull up the app, fill in the details, and send it off.
Pro tip: Take a minute to review everything before hitting send. Typos happen more on small screens.
Also, I always let clients know upfront that I’ll invoice on-site. It sets expectations and makes the whole process smoother.
It feels a bit weird at first, but you’ll get used to it. Plus, clients usually appreciate the quick turnaround.
Never done it. Just scribble stuff on paper receipts.
Been there, done that! Had to figure this out when I started doing more on-site work.
Here’s what’s worked for me:
I use a simple invoicing app on my phone. Took some getting used to, but now it’s a lifesaver. I keep my rates and client info saved in there.
When I’m done with a job, I pull out my phone, punch in the hours or project details, and hit send. The invoice goes straight to the client’s email.
One tip: I always double-check everything before sending. It’s easy to fat-finger numbers on a small screen.
Also, I keep a note app with common line items. Makes it faster to copy-paste instead of typing it all out each time.
It felt awkward at first, but clients actually love getting the invoice right away. Shows you’re on top of things.
I use a basic invoicing app on my phone. Got all my rates and job types saved in there.
When I finish, I open the app, put in the hours, add any extras, and send it off. Takes me a couple minutes tops.
Always double-check before sending though. Easy to mess up on a small screen.
Get a basic invoicing app on your phone and set up your rates and client info beforehand. When you finish a job, punch in the hours and any extras, then send the invoice straight away. It usually takes no more than 5 minutes. Check your numbers carefully before sending to avoid errors on a small screen. If you don’t have an app, jot down the details in your phone’s notes and create the invoice at home later. Quick invoicing shows clients you’re efficient and on top of your work.
I just use my phone’s notes app to jot down what I did. Then I type up the invoice when I get home. Not fancy, but it works for me. Keeps things simple.
