Finance workflow

Send a client invoice

Freelancers and small sellers often need a plain-text invoice fast—a line-item draft, a consistent reference number, and tax on the total. This workflow chains three Utilnivo business tools in the order you would use them before emailing a client.

Draft an invoice, assign a reference number, and add sales tax to the total.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this a full accounting system?

No. Invoice Generator produces a plain-text draft. You are responsible for record-keeping, compliance, and sending the final document.

Which step comes first?

Draft the invoice content first, generate a number to include in the header, then confirm sales tax on the subtotal before you send.

Can I export PDF?

Copy the text into your editor or use Word to PDF if you need a PDF attachment after drafting.
