I used to HATE billing clients... 

While I normally advocate for myself and others to collect payments on the day of service, I bill my long-term clients monthly. 

In order to make monthly less painful I found an excellent service to help me send professional-looking invoices to my private clients.

Introducing Freshbooks

Freshbooks is advertised as:  “The Fastest Way To Track Time and Invoice Your Clients. Great for teams, freelancers and service providers.”  I cannot agree with this more. 


I have been using Freshbooks since 2010 to bill the majority of my private patients. To test it out, you can start with a FREE account that allows you to bill up to 3 people. If your caseload is larger than that  (up to 25) you pay only $19.95/month.

You Can Easily:
  • Create an invoice in seconds
  • E-mail, print or snail mail invoices to your patients
  • Keep records of treatment sessions (dates and price) for tax purposes
  • Track payment
**Below is a screen shot for one of my actual long-term private patients to see what a typical invoice looks like**
For this patient in particular, I send invoices monthly via e-mail. He then initiates a payment through his banking app. I cash it and record the income. I have been using this method of payment with him for a couple of years and it is quite easy for both of us.

Give Freshbooks a try!
