The problem it solves

Entering invoices into QuickBooks one at a time is slow and easy to get wrong, especially when you are billing many customers at once. A single typo in an amount or customer ID can cause billing headaches later. When you have a batch of invoices to send, manual entry becomes the bottleneck.

Who it fits

Small businesses that bill customers in batches or from external order data.

How it works

  1. Invoice details are added to a spreadsheet, including customer, description, and amount
  2. The system reads each row from the spreadsheet
  3. An invoice is created in QuickBooks for each row
  4. Line items are formatted to match your accounting setup
