Why contractors need a dedicated invoice app
Running a contracting business means handling client calls, site visits, scheduling, quotes, and invoices in the same hour. When the admin lives in three places, invoices slip and cash flow tightens.
A contractor invoice app keeps the customer, the job, and the invoice on the same screen, so you can run the business from your phone.
Send branded invoices from your phone
Stop writing invoices by hand or rebuilding them in spreadsheets. Tap a completed job and Love Invoicing builds the invoice, with line items, tax, and a Stripe payment link ready to send.
Invoice from the completed job
Build the invoice off a completed job or accepted quote. Line items, dates, and totals pull through ready to send.
Tax handled for you
VAT, GST, and sales tax calculate on every line so the total a customer sees matches what you expect to be paid.
Your branding on every send
Your logo, brand colours, and business details sit on every quote and invoice the customer opens.
Payment tracking
See which invoices are paid, which are overdue, and how much is outstanding without opening a spreadsheet.
Run every contracting job from one screen
Schedule jobs, assign workers, and follow progress from first visit to final invoice.
Job scheduling
Schedule contracting jobs from your phone or desktop and keep the calendar in sync across the team.
Team assignment
Assign contractors and workers to specific jobs and track progress as the work moves.
Job records
Keep job details, notes, photos, and documents attached to the customer record.
Convert to invoice
Turn a completed job into a branded invoice with one tap.
How it works
Photograph the work before you leave site
Photos taken in the app land against the job and the invoice with a timestamp. When a client questions a charge six weeks later, the evidence is already filed.
- Take photos in the app on site
- Photos attach to the job and the invoice
- Resolve disputes with timestamped proof
- Stand out from contractors who can't show their work
What contractors get back
Contractors on Love Invoicing report three to five hours a week back and shorter waits to be paid.
See every job at a glance
Scheduled, in progress, completed. Your whole pipeline sits on one dashboard.
Get paid sooner
Invoice the moment the work is done and watch payments land via Stripe.
Cut the after-hours admin
Quoting, invoicing, and job tracking live in one app, so the evening paperwork stops.
Contractor invoicing, answered
The questions UK contractors ask us most often.
- How do I invoice as a contractor under CIS?
- A CIS invoice has to separate labour from materials, because the deduction only applies to the labour element. Love Invoicing has CIS built in, so deductions are tracked on the invoice as you build it and the reports HMRC expects come out of the same system — no second spreadsheet.
- Can I send a contractor invoice from my phone?
- Yes. The whole app is mobile-first, so you can build and send an invoice from the van the moment the job is signed off. Line items, dates and totals pull through from the completed job or accepted quote, so nothing gets retyped.
- How much does the contractor invoice app cost?
- Pricing is per plan rather than per invoice, and every plan carries the same features — you pick the seat count. Solo covers one seat, Team Short six, and Team Long sixteen, with Enterprise priced around your team. Paying yearly costs less than paying monthly. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. Current rates are on the pricing page.
- Does it handle VAT on contractor invoices?
- Yes. VAT calculates on every line as you build the invoice, so the total the customer sees matches what you expect to be paid. Tax rates are set once against your products and services and reused on every document after that.
- Can I turn a completed job into an invoice?
- That is the core of the workflow. Mark a job complete and Love Invoicing builds the invoice from it — customer, line items, dates and any proof-of-work photos captured on site all carry across in one tap, so the invoice goes out the same day the work finishes.
