The problem
Many invoicing tools live outside your accounting system, so every invoice you send is also a bookkeeping task waiting to happen - re-entering it, or exporting and importing it, before your books reflect reality.
How AccountDesq solves it
AccountDesq's invoicing module posts every issued invoice straight to the general ledger and into accounts receivable - there's no separate accounting step. A recurring-billing scheduler generates repeat invoices from a saved template automatically, and each invoice carries a public link so customers can view it without a login.
How it works, step by step
Create the invoice
Add line items, apply tax automatically, and attach the customer record.
Issue it
Posts to the ledger and starts the receivables clock in the same action.
Automate repeat billing
Save it as a recurring template if the customer bills on a regular cadence.
Track payment status
Status updates as payments are recorded and allocated - no manual flag to update.
Connected to the rest of AccountDesq
Nothing here works in isolation - it posts through the same ledger as everything else.
In practice
A consultancy invoices five retained clients every month. Each is set up once as a recurring invoice; from then on, AccountDesq issues them automatically, posts them to the ledger, and starts tracking them in AR aging without anyone re-entering anything monthly.
What this means for your business
- No manual step between sending an invoice and it reflecting in your books.
- Recurring revenue doesn't depend on someone remembering to reissue an invoice.
- Real-time payment status instead of a manually maintained spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Does invoicing software need to be part of my accounting system?
It doesn't have to be, but keeping them separate creates a manual reconciliation step every time you invoice. AccountDesq issues invoices that post directly to the same ledger used for the rest of your books.
Can I automate recurring invoices?
Yes - a scheduler-driven recurrence engine generates invoices automatically from a saved template on the cadence you define.
