Ledgerly / Invoicing and cash flow

You did not start a business to chase invoices.

Ledgerly sends them, chases them on a schedule you set, and tells you which week you run short — before you get there.

Forecast

The week you run short, ninety days early

One real shape of a small studio’s year: nine invoices, a fixed monthly cost, and one client who pays nine days late. Scroll through the quarter and watch the balance. Every invoicing tool can tell you what has happened. The number that changes a decision is the one further down this page, and it is a forecast, not a report.

Short on day 67 — lowest at −£1,530 on day 90, 5 days before Brightwater pays.

  • Overview

    Four numbers, then the shape of the year

    Outstanding, overdue, collected, and how long people actually take to pay you. The last one is the number that changes behaviour, and almost no invoicing tool puts it on the front page.

  • Invoices

    A list, not a pipeline, not a board

    Seven columns and a status.

  • Cash flow

    Projected on how they pay, not on your terms

    Every client gets their own average.

  • Chasing

    It writes the awkward email

    Three reminders on a schedule you set, in your words, from your address.

  • Reports

    One export, and your accountant stops emailing

    Reconciled against the bank feed as it goes, so the quarter is closed before you think about it.

  • Pricing

    Priced on invoices sent, not seats — charging per user punishes you for giving your bookkeeper access.

    • £12Sole

  • Adopting this

    Screens instead of photography. These five are generated by scripts/render-ledgerly-ui.mjs rather than found, which means they restyle with the palette and can never go stale against the real product by more than a re-render.

  • Adopting this

    The pricing, as a table with the numbers in it. "Contact us for pricing" is the most expensive three words on a B2B site.

Thirty days, no card

Connect a bank feed, import last quarter, and see whether the projection matches what actually happened. If it does not, do not buy it.
