Cash Flow & Billing Automation

Stop Funding Your Customers' Jobs.

Get paid before you start. Collect deposits online, bill larger projects in agreed stages, and never order materials until the money is safely in your bank.

GoTaskhub Deposit Invoicing and Connected Job Scheduling UI

Highlights

A quick snapshot of what you can do.

1-Click Card Checkout in Client Portal

Customers don't need to log in to online banking or type manual bank transfer references. A secure card payment link gets deposits in your bank hours faster.

Quote Balance & Stage Progress Tracker

Always see at a glance: Total Quote Value, Total Invoiced to Date, and Remaining Balance. Never accidentally lose track of a stage payment.

Automated Final Invoice Deposit Deductions

Itemise the complete job scope so the client sees the full value delivered, then clearly credit the deposit already collected on line one.

Real-World Cash-Flow Comparison

A £10,000 Project Shouldn't Mean Waiting Weeks to Get Paid

The Risky Way (End-of-Job Invoicing)
  • ✗You buy £3,500 of materials upfront on credit cards or trade overdraft.
  • ✗You pay wages for 2–3 weeks of labour out of your own company reserves.
  • ✗You send one big £10,000 invoice on completion and pray the customer pays promptly.
  • ✗Any snagging delay holds up your entire £10,000 payout.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions.

Q.Why should tradespeople take an upfront deposit?
Taking a deposit ensures you never finance your customer's job out of pocket. It covers raw materials upfront, commits the client to the booking, and eliminates the cash-flow risk of cancellations after you've already bought supplies.
Q.What happens automatically when my customer accepts a quote?
When a quote with a deposit requirement is accepted in the Client Portal, GoTaskhub immediately creates the deposit invoice with an instant online payment button. You don't have to manually create a new invoice or email back and forth.
Q.How does the 'Green-Light' job scheduling work?
The moment your customer pays the deposit online via card, GoTaskhub automatically switches the linked job status to 'Deposit Received'. This gives you and your team instant operational visibility: you are safe to purchase materials from merchants and confirm dates on your calendar.
Q.How does the deposit show up on the final invoice?
Your final invoice clearly displays your entire scope of work, followed by a dedicated credit line item for the deposit previously received (e.g. 'Deposit Paid: -£2,400'). The customer sees the exact remaining balance due, eliminating awkward payment questions.
Q.Can I bill in multiple stages on large projects?
Yes. For larger jobs, you can create progress invoices at agreed milestones (e.g., 30% deposit, 40% midway, 30% completion). GoTaskhub tracks the quote's remaining balance in real time, so you always know what has been invoiced, paid, and what remains.
Q.Can my customer pay by credit or debit card online?
Yes. Your Client Portal integrates directly with Stripe. Clients can pay via debit/credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay directly on their smartphone or laptop.
