BILLING WAITS FOR A QUIET WEEK
There is no quiet week in the first half of the year. The invoice that should have gone out in March goes out when someone finally gets to it.
For Accounting Firms
The engagement's done. The invoice isn't.
The return was filed weeks ago. The time is logged. The invoice is still half-written in someone’s drafts, because billing is always the thing that can wait until the pile is smaller.
Billing Cycle Compression drafts it from the logged time and chases it automatically once it is out.
See what it costs →Slow invoicing at an accounting firm is a scheduling problem, not a collections problem: billing is a manual task that competes with client work and always loses. Compressing the cycle means generating the invoice from logged time as soon as the work closes, routing it through one approval step, and letting reminders handle the chase.
Why it matters
Here's where it actually shows up.
THE DRAFT IS THE BOTTLENECK
Time is logged accurately and then sits there. Turning it into an invoice is a manual step nobody is scheduled to do.
NOBODY LIKES CHASING PAYMENT
Following up an unpaid invoice with a client you want to keep is uncomfortable, so it gets postponed — and the older it gets, the harder it becomes.
How it works
Four jobs Momentum does while you're doing yours.
Drafts the invoice from logged time
When the work closes, the invoice is generated from what was actually recorded, ready for review rather than written from scratch.
Routes one approval
A single approval step replaces the open-ended “when someone gets to it” — approve and it goes.
Sends it without a reminder to send it
Approved invoices go out on their own, so the gap between finishing work and billing for it stops depending on anyone’s memory.
Chases what is unpaid
Payment reminders run on a schedule you set and stop the moment payment lands, so nobody has to make the awkward call.
Late billing is not a collections problem.
It is a delay you can measure in weeks and dollars.

No. It closes the gap between the time being logged and the invoice being sent and chased. What you use to record time and keep the books does not have to change.
