Progress Billing

Q: "Can I send multiple progress invoices for the same job?"

"Yes. You can create as many progress invoices as your project requires — one per phase, one per week, or however your billing schedule works. Each invoice is linked to the job so the full billing history stays in one place."

Q: "Does progress billing work with Cinderblock's payment processing?"

"Absolutely. Progress invoices can be paid directly by credit card or bank transfer, just like any other Cinderblock invoice. Customers get a payment link on each invoice and you get notified when funds arrive."

Q: "Can clients see how much of the total they've paid so far?"

"Yes. Each invoice clearly shows the amount due for that milestone as well as cumulative totals. Clients always have a clear picture of where the project stands financially."

Bill clients at each stage of a project so cash keeps flowing, without waiting until the last nail is in.

Bill for completed work, not finished projects

Create partial invoices tied to project milestones — deposit, mid-project, completion — and send them as each phase wraps up. No more waiting until the end of a multi-week job to get paid.

Clients see exactly what they’re paying for

Each progress invoice shows what’s been billed to date and the total project value. Customers know where they stand at every stage, which reduces billing questions and disputes.

Start from your estimate

Convert an approved estimate into progress invoices without re-entering line items. Each invoice stays accurate to the original scope, and when the job is done the final invoice closes it out cleanly.

Cash flow is steady now instead of feast and famine.

We used to invoice everything at the end and wait months to get paid. Now we bill by phase and the money comes in as the work gets done.
