Get invoices out faster and track what gets paid

Fresh Projects generates invoices from fee schedules or approved time and expenses. Send them straight to Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage. See which invoices are paid and which are overdue. Know what work you've delivered but haven't billed yet.

 
 

Built for finance teams managing A&E invoicing

Finance teams, project leaders, and directors responsible for getting invoices out and tracking payment. Works for architecture and engineering firms where manual billing creates delays and incomplete visibility strains cashflow.

What goes wrong between delivery and payment?

Manual invoice creation

Someone has to gather approved hours, check what's billable, calculate totals, then type everything into your accounting software before an invoice can go out.

Cashflow trapped in WIP

Work gets completed but invoices arrive weeks later because the manual process takes time, which means cash sits locked in delivered projects instead of your account.

Lost payment visibility

Payment status lives in your accounting software, project status lives elsewhere, so you never know which clients owe money without manually checking multiple systems.

Billing errors

Manual compilation means variations get missed, expenses forgotten, and hours miscalculated, which leads to under-billing that quietly drains margin.

 

How Fresh Projects makes billing faster and more accurate

Generate invoices from project data

Create invoices directly from fee schedules, approved timesheets, or logged expenses. Bill by RIBA stage milestones or time worked. The system pulls the right data automatically. You review, adjust if needed, and send. No manual compilation or re-typing.

Send invoices straight to your accounting software

Invoices flow to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or MYOB automatically. No manual entry in your finance system. Invoice data arrives accurate and complete. You maintain one source of truth across projects and accounts.

See work in progress ready to bill

Fresh Projects shows completed work that hasn't been invoiced yet. See billable hours, completed milestones, and approved expenses waiting to convert into cash. Bill promptly instead of letting revenue sit unbilled.

Track payment status automatically

Payment status flows back from your accounting software in real time. See which invoices got paid, which are overdue, and total outstanding per client. Chase late payments with current data instead of manual checks.

Bill variations and scope changes properly

Variations logged in projects become line items on invoices. Additional fees, extra hours, and reimbursable costs all flow through to billing. You capture revenue from scope changes instead of absorbing them.

Invoice by RIBA stage or time worked

Bill milestone payments based on RIBA stage completion. Or bill time and expenses as work happens. Fresh Projects handles both models and any combination. The invoicing method matches how you actually structure fees.


 
 

Watch automated invoicing in action

Why this works for Architecture & Engineering


Invoices generate from live project data (fees, approved time, expenses), eliminating manual compilation and re-entry errors.


Direct sync with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and MYOB means invoices flow to accounts automatically and payment status flows back.


WIP visibility shows completed but unbilled work, so you bill promptly instead of letting cash sit trapped in delivered projects.


Answers to common questions

 
  • How does this make invoicing faster?

    Fresh Projects generates invoices from data already in your projects. Instead of gathering timesheets, checking fee agreements, and manually entering everything into accounting software, you select the project or stage, review the automatically calculated invoice, and send it. The system knows your fee structure, approved hours, logged expenses, and client billing terms. Draft invoices appear in seconds. You spend time reviewing rather than compiling. For firms sending dozens of invoices monthly, this shift from manual creation to automated generation saves hours and gets invoices out while work is still fresh.

  • Which accounting software does this connect with?

    Fresh Projects integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and MYOB. Invoices sync automatically to your accounting software with correct client details, line items, and tax calculations. Payment status flows back when clients pay. The integration is two-way, which means Fresh Projects and your finance system stay synchronised without manual updates. You keep your existing accounting tool and add automated invoicing and payment tracking on top.

  • Can we see what hasn't been billed yet?

    Yes. Fresh Projects shows work in progress for every project. Hours logged and approved but not invoiced. Completed RIBA stages awaiting billing. Expenses ready to bill. Variations that got delivered but haven't appeared on an invoice. This WIP visibility is updated in real time as work happens, so you always know how much cash is sitting in completed work. You can review unbilled amounts across all projects or drill into specific clients. This is how you catch missed billing opportunities and maintain steady cashflow.

  • What if we bill some projects on time and others on milestones?

    Fresh Projects handles both. Time-based projects generate invoices from approved timesheets at agreed rates. Milestone projects invoice when you mark a RIBA stage complete or reach a contractual trigger. Mixed projects use both models (fixed fees for early stages, time billing for construction). The system adapts to each project's fee structure. Your invoicing workflow stays consistent even when your billing models vary, which means finance teams learn one process instead of maintaining parallel methods for different contract types.

  • How do we track which invoices are overdue?

    Payment status syncs automatically from your accounting software. Fresh Projects shows which invoices got paid, which are outstanding, and how long they've been unpaid. Overdue invoices appear flagged. Client records display total outstanding across all projects. You can filter by overdue amounts or aging periods (30 days, 60 days, 90+ days). This real-time payment tracking replaces manual checks and spreadsheet reconciliation. Finance teams know exactly which clients to chase and which invoices need escalation, using current data instead of status reports that were accurate last week but outdated today.
