Invoicing software for freelancers: what to look for (and start free)

Making invoices by hand in Word works, until you have ten a month. Then you want invoicing software that takes the work off your hands. But what should you look for? And can you start free?

What to look for in invoicing software

  • Correct invoices. The software automatically makes sure the required fields (VAT number, Chamber of Commerce number, unique number, VAT) are on it.
  • Automatic numbering. Every invoice number is unique and consecutive, without you tracking it.
  • Send straight away. Send your invoice by email from the software.
  • See who has paid. Upload your bank statement and you see which invoices are open and paid.
  • Credit notes. Correct a mistake in one click.
  • Share with your accountant. So handing over is no hassle.
  • Your data is yours. Can you export everything and delete your account? Important.
