When contractors use it

This page fits the moment when a team is preparing a project bill, cleaning up a payment package, or making sure the billing record is organized before it goes out the door.

  • Progress billing preparation
  • Prompt payment package cleanup
  • Invoice support and recordkeeping

What to have ready

Good invoice prep is mostly about complete project context and clear numbers.

  • Payer and project details
  • Invoice date and amount
  • Tax, holdback, and support notes
  • Any referenced backup documents

Cash flow context

A cleaner invoice package makes follow-up easier when payment slows down. It also keeps the project record tighter if questions come back later from the owner, accountant, or project team.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace my accounting system?

No. It gives you a cleaner project-facing worksheet and record for the invoice package, not a full accounting ledger.

Can I use it before the package is final?

Yes. Many teams use the generator to draft the structure first, then tighten the support notes and final values before sending.

What should I read if payment starts to stall?

Use the related prompt payment guide to review the broader Ontario payment context and the next documents that may matter downstream.
