Time in, Expenses In = Dollars (Invoices) Out to Your Clients

Tuesday, March 29, 2022, 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Presented by Pat Chase, Enterprise Solutions Manager, BRAYN

Billing your clients takes a lot of time from a lot of people. Making the process understandable and implementing new processes can make a difference in ensuring all invoices are sent out, and they are correct the first time. Knowing what is ready to be billed, how much is not billed and how the project is to be billed is so fundamental, however for many, this is missed in the process. The one thing to remember – billing is a part of timesheet and expense entry, project set up, and project management. They all must be completed to bill the client on time and accurately.
