Stop chasing late payments—automate your recurring billing and invoicing to boost cash flow and reclaim hours each month. Businesses using automated invoicing get paid up to 30% faster (Intuit, 2023).

With Flow Genius, you can integrate tools like QuickBooks, Stripe, and Zapier to generate invoices and send payment reminders automatically. Here’s how one business owner eliminated late payments and freed up 10+ hours monthly.

The Challenge

Manual invoicing and payment reminders drain valuable time and lead to late payments. A recent survey found that 60% of small businesses struggle with overdue invoices (QuickBooks, 2024). One Flow Genius client, a digital marketing agency, spent hours each week chasing payments—hurting both cash flow and morale.

The Solution

Flow Genius implemented workflow automation by connecting QuickBooks, Stripe, and Zapier. This setup automated invoice generation, payment tracking, and reminder emails—ensuring clients received timely, accurate bills and follow-ups without manual effort.

Implementation Steps

1. Connect your accounting software (like QuickBooks) to your payment platform (such as Stripe) using Zapier. 2. Set up a recurring invoice template in QuickBooks for each client or subscription. 3. Create a Zapier workflow to trigger invoice creation and send it automatically on your billing schedule. 4. Configure automated payment reminders in QuickBooks or Stripe to follow up before and after due dates. 5. Monitor payment status in real time and adjust workflows as needed for new clients or changing terms.

Results

The digital marketing agency reduced overdue invoices by 90% within two months. Payment turnaround improved from an average of 21 days to just 12 days. The owner saved over 10 hours per month, redirecting that time to business development and client service.
