How Novo Can Help You Get Paid On Time
If you're a service provider, or a freelancer, you’ve probably been there: the work’s done, the invoice is sent, and… crickets. Chasing payments becomes its own part-time job.
A survey revealed that 29% of freelance invoices are paid late, with over 75% of these late invoices being settled within 14 days past the due date, and 90% within a month.
I used to create invoices manually, writing things up, sending them out, and then waiting to get paid. And when the payments didn't come, I hated having to chase them down…It’s just awkward, right? It’s uncomfortable at best and, at worst, it damages relationships and trust.
The truth is, invoicing is one of those tasks that can make or break a small business's cash flow, and it’s often overlooked in favor of the creative work that fuels our passion.
As a freelancer, I use Novo to create, send, and manage my invoices — directly from my checking account. No extra apps, no clunky templates. Let me walk you through:
Here’s what I love:
- It takes seconds to create and send an invoice from the Novo dashboard.
- I can upload client contracts and customize my branding.
- Automated reminders follow up with clients so I don’t have to send awkward emails.
The minute I finish a project, I can send out an invoice in seconds… and Novo sends polite reminders so I never have to stress about asking clients to pay.
