Engagement value split four ways, with DSO against the terms in the contracts.

In the product

How Octayne handles it.

  • Billing and invoicing
  • Collections and AR
  • WIP and unbilled revenue
  • QuickBooks two-way sync
  • Revenue recognition
Invoice assembly

Drafts built from approved time and cost on the contract terms.

Contract terms

Rate cards, caps, retainers, not-to-exceed and billing increments.

QuickBooks two-way

Invoices, payments, bills and card spend, as they post.

WIP and unbilled

What has been earned and not yet invoiced, by age.

AR and collections

Aging, DSO against terms, and the cadence that chases it.

Reminders

Pre-approved templates only. Nothing goes out unsigned.

Revenue recognition

Recognized against delivery rather than against the invoice date.

Exception review

Every draft that will not reconcile, with the reason attached.

From approved time to sent invoice

Drafts assemble from approved time and cost, apply the contract, and reconcile before anything reaches a client.

Unbilled is a number, not a mystery

WIP that has not been invoiced is visible per engagement alongside outstanding AR and days sales outstanding against terms.

One ledger with finance

Two-way QuickBooks sync so the delivery view and the accounting view do not diverge.

One invoice

Drafted on cadence. Never sent on its own.

The retainer assembled itself on the fourth, as it has for nine months. It is five days past its send date, so it came to a person — with the exact message it would send, and nothing sent until you submit.

The QuickBooks bridge

Accounting and delivery, the same number.

Invoices, payments, bills and card spend pulled as they post and attributed to the approved time and workstream they belong to. Delivery and the ledger stop disagreeing at month end.
