Know what is ready to bill, before month-end

Late invoices, WIP that is a guess and credit notes that come back as disputes usually start upstream, in how work is quoted and tracked. DAY ONE keeps scope, delivered work and billing in one system of record, so finance can explain a charge before the invoice goes out.

Start with what finance chases

Pick the question that comes back at month-end to see where in the path it starts.

The question that keeps returning
  1. Prospect

    The first conversation and the deal behind it.

    Scoping and Quoting
  2. Proposal

    Scope, rates, billing model and approvals.

    Scoping and Quoting
  3. Deliver

    The work runs against the agreed engagement.

    Delivery and Time
  4. Time & Cost

    Time and costs sit with the right engagement.

    Delivery and Time
  5. Bill

    Each invoice line traces to its source.

    Invoicing and WIP
  6. Post

    Invoices go to your accounting platform.

    Invoicing and WIP

Starts at: Bill

Billing rules on the client record set how and when an engagement is invoiced. Time and costs go through approval against the engagement, and time and materials, milestone and expense lines can go out in one run.

See Invoicing and WIP

See WIP as a balance, by age and by date

Each engagement has a WIP tab with the balance, what is unbilled by age and how the value built up.

    Send the invoice, then post it

    DAY ONE holds the client-work and billing record. Your accounting system stays your ledger.

    Send it either way

    DAY ONE can send an invoice independently, with CSV export if you need a file handoff.

    Sync both ways

    Invoices are pushed from Salesforce to your accounting platform and updates come back. We confirm the handoff for your setup during scoping.

    GST and GL codes

    GST is applied on each invoice line. GL codes can default per business unit and be set per client. BAS stays in your ledger.

    How Rowland changed its month-end

    Rowland put its business units on one DAY ONE workflow and kept Xero for accounting. It reports less month-end administration and invoices going out sooner.

    Questions finance leaders ask

    Can't see your question? Ask us directly.

    Can finance see why an item is in WIP?

    Each item is added to the WIP ledger against its engagement and cleared as it is invoiced. Ask us to walk through a seeded example of the current product.

    Can we send invoices without connecting accounting software?

    Yes. DAY ONE can send an invoice independently and export a CSV as a fallback. You can also connect your accounting platform; we confirm the handoff in scoping.

    Will this replace our accounting system?

    No. DAY ONE is not your ledger and does not recognise revenue. It is the client-work and billing record. Rowland kept Xero for its accounting; your setup depends on your existing systems and processes.

    How are GST and BAS handled?

    GST is applied on each invoice line. DAY ONE does not do BAS; that stays in your accounting system. GL codes can default per business unit and be set per client.

    What does it cost, and how do we build a business case?

    List prices start from A$17 per user per month for a Consultant licence on DAY ONE for Salesforce, excluding GST, billed annually. Any return figure carries its source, date and sample. Pricing.

    Is our financial data secure, and where is it held?

    Financial data is held in a Salesforce org (your own, or one provided with the bundled edition), and access follows the permissions you assign. Security.
