About this industry
A service business sells time and expertise rather than stock. Whether it is an agency, a repair outfit, a trainer or a consultant that fits no other heading here, the day-to-day is the same: quote, deliver, invoice, collect, and pay the people who did the work. The trade-specific parts can wait; the part that loses money when it goes wrong is usually the invoice that was never raised or the payment nobody chased.
Common operational problems
- Work is delivered before a quotation is agreed in writing
- Invoices are raised late, or not at all, for small jobs
- Service GST — SAC codes, place of supply — is applied inconsistently
- Outstanding payments are chased from memory
- Staff attendance and payouts are kept separately from the jobs they worked on
Example workflows
Quotation sent and converted to an invoice when accepted
Service invoices with SAC codes and correct place of supply
Receivables tracked with reminders
Expenses recorded against the work they belong to
Staff attendance and payouts in the same system
