From approved time to sent invoice
Drafts assemble from approved time and cost, apply the contract, and reconcile before anything reaches a client.
The full cash lifecycle behind the work, not just the invoice.
Seven days beyond terms across the portfolio.

| Baker Hughes | $120K | 96 | Chase |
Engagement value split four ways, with DSO against the terms in the contracts.
In the product
Drafts built from approved time and cost on the contract terms.
Rate cards, caps, retainers, not-to-exceed and billing increments.
Invoices, payments, bills and card spend, as they post.
What has been earned and not yet invoiced, by age.
Aging, DSO against terms, and the cadence that chases it.
Pre-approved templates only. Nothing goes out unsigned.
Recognized against delivery rather than against the invoice date.
Every draft that will not reconcile, with the reason attached.
Drafts assemble from approved time and cost, apply the contract, and reconcile before anything reaches a client.
WIP that has not been invoiced is visible per engagement alongside outstanding AR and days sales outstanding against terms.
Two-way QuickBooks sync so the delivery view and the accounting view do not diverge.
One invoice
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.
Sends to billing@elcentro.org. Matches the 9-month pattern; the client expects it.

The QuickBooks bridge
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.
