1. Invoice creation speed
After completing a piece of work, how quickly can you generate and send a compliant invoice?
- Under 60 seconds
- 1 to 5 minutes
- Batch invoiced later in the week
- Still using templates or manual formatting
Why this matters:
Delays between delivery and invoicing directly slow cash flow.
2. Payment collection method
How do most of your clients pay?
- Automated card or direct debit
- One off payment links
- Manual bank transfer
- You wait for them to request details
Why this matters:
The easier it is to pay, the faster you get paid. Manual transfers increase friction and delay.
3. Reminder automation
If an invoice becomes overdue, what happens?
- Automatic reminders are sent
- I manually follow up
- I follow up occasionally
- I avoid chasing
Why this matters:
Research consistently shows Australian small businesses lose revenue to late payments. Manual chasing compounds into lost time and stress.
4. Overdue visibility
At any point, can you instantly see:
- Total overdue amount
- Who owes you
- Days outstanding
- Upcoming due dates
- Yes
- Partially
- No
Why this matters:
If visibility is delayed, action is delayed.
5. Bank reconciliation
How often do you reconcile incoming payments against invoices?
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Only at BAS time
- My accountant handles it later
Why this matters:
Delayed reconciliation creates reporting blind spots and inaccurate cash flow assumptions.
6. Revenue clarity
Can you clearly see:
- Revenue per client
- Who owes you
- Forecasted cash flow next 30 days
- Yes
- Partially
- No
Why this matters:
Delays between delivery and invoicing directly slow cash flow.
You likely have invoice friction if you selected:
- Manual follow up
- Manual bank transfer
- Batch invoicing
- Monthly reconciliation
- Limited visibility
Invoice friction costs:
- Time
- Cash flow speed
- Mental bandwidth
- Margin clarity
