An invoice takes seconds because everything is already there. Pick the customer, add line items from your inventory or type them, and the subtotal, tax and total fill in as you go. Sequential invoice numbers are assigned for you, so nothing is skipped or reused. Send it by email under your own business name, or download the PDF.
Tax is done by province, not by hand. Hakkuu applies GST, HST, PST or QST based on the province and shows tax as its own line, so your customer sees the subtotal, the tax and the total separately. Every invoice keeps its tax breakdown, which is what your bookkeeper needs at filing time.
Getting paid stops being a chore. Record a payment in full or in part and the balance updates. Set how often you want customers nudged and Hakkuu sends polite reminders until the invoice is paid, and only during working hours, never at two in the morning on a Sunday.
Every invoice has a status you can trust. Draft, sent, viewed, paid, overdue. When a customer opens the email, the status changes. When a payment lands, it changes again. The invoices list shows the whole month at a glance: how many are paid, how many are pending, and the total outstanding.
Statements on demand. A customer with several open invoices gets one statement showing everything they owe, so you are not chasing three emails for three amounts.
Quotes become invoices in one click. An accepted quote carries every line item across, so you never type the same job twice. Invoiced items come off the shelf in inventory automatically.
