Invoicing and money for freelancers
Billing by the hour and invoicing from a duplicated document is how hours go missing. Log the time against the client, attach the expenses, and the invoice comes out of what is already recorded — with the retainers repeating on their own. The savings sheet is the other half: tax and quiet months put aside before they arrive.
