Waiting to complete work before invoicing is 'outdated'SUPPLIED Bronwyn Irwin, left, and Nicky Isherwood of Christchurch-based At Ease Accounting have won an award for their services to small businesses. "Business owners mostly want more information about what's going from month to month rather than waiting for the end of the year and making decisions retrospectively. Meanwhile, a survey of about 1000 different small business owners found they often spent their evenings on administration and chasing late invoices. Instead, businesses should be invoicing as soon as they can and asking for part payments throughout a project." Improving invoicing could be life-changing for owners and might be as simple as using invoice reminder software, Hudson said.
