Delayed Client Payments from Milestone Billing Errors
Definition
Manual invoicing for milestones and retainers in interior design causes delays in sending invoices, tracking payments, and applying GST correctly, extending time-to-cash cycles.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 5,000-15,000 per project in lost cash flow (30-60 extra days AR at 10-20% project value)
- Frequency: Per project or monthly for retainers
- Root Cause: Manual processes without automation for time tracking, invoice generation, and payment reminders
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Interior design firms in Australia 🇦🇺 lose AUD 10,000+ annually per client on delayed payments from manual billing. Automation of milestone tracking and invoicing eliminates this drag.
