Invoice follow-up
Find outstanding invoices and prepare the right follow-up for each client.
Chasing invoices is easy to put off and awkward to get right. This finds what's late, checks what was already said, and drafts a follow-up in the right tone for each.
What you’ll get
A list of overdue invoices, and a polite follow-up draft for each, ready for you to send.
Example output
| Client | Invoice | Late | Last word | Draft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acme | #1042, $4,800 | 38 days | "Paying next week" (Oct 2) | Second reminder |
