Tips for getting paid on time
Legal professionals can face late payments like any service business. Xero helps small businesses get invoices out on time, set due dates, and follow up on unpaid invoices with automated reminders. A clear, detailed invoice reduces disputes and gets money moving sooner.
Invoice promptly
Send your invoice as soon as the work is done or a milestone is reached — don't wait until month-end.
Use the notes field
Include your payment terms, accepted payment methods, and any case reference in the additional notes field.
Number every invoice
A unique invoice number helps you track payments and gives clients a reference for bank transfers.
Be specific about services
Itemise each service clearly — vague descriptions lead to client questions and delayed payments.
