Spending an hour on invoicing admin for work that took you 30 minutes

Sending Word documents or handwritten invoices that make you look less professional than you are

Losing track of which clients have paid and which are overdue

Not knowing whether to include GST or how to calculate it correctly

What InvoiceSent does for you

Professional invoices in minutes

Create a branded invoice with your business name, ABN and logo. Add line items, set a due date and send — the whole process takes under five minutes.

ABN included on every invoice

Enter your ABN once in your company profile. It appears on every invoice and quote automatically, with no chance of forgetting it on a client document.

Track paid and unpaid invoices

See at a glance which invoices are paid, unpaid and overdue. Mark invoices as paid when you receive the money.

Automated payment reminders

Set a due date on each invoice and InvoiceSent sends automatic follow-up emails when it becomes overdue. Available on the Starter and Pro plans.

GST support when you need it

If you are GST-registered, set the 10% rate and InvoiceSent calculates everything automatically. If you are not registered, set the rate to zero — no GST line appears.

Client records in one place

Store client contact details, billing addresses and reference information. When you create the next invoice for the same client, their details are already there.

How it works

1

Set up your sole trader profile

Add your trading name (or your own name), ABN and contact details. Upload a logo if you have one — it appears on every invoice.

2

Add your first client

Create a client record with their name, email and billing address. You only need to enter this once.

3

Create an invoice

Choose the client, add your line items and set a due date. InvoiceSent handles all the formatting and calculations.

4

Send by email or link

Send the invoice directly from InvoiceSent, or share a link your client can open on any device.

5

Track and follow up

Check your dashboard to see which invoices are outstanding. Automated reminders follow up on your behalf if payment does not arrive.

Worth knowing

  • InvoiceSent handles invoicing and client management. It is not an accounting platform and does not connect to the ATO or assist with tax returns.
  • If you are not registered for GST, set the GST rate to zero — InvoiceSent will not include a GST line on your invoices.
  • Tax record-keeping, BAS lodgement and income tax obligations remain your responsibility or that of your accountant.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be registered for GST as a sole trader?

If your turnover reaches $75,000 or more in a financial year, you are generally required to register for GST. Below that threshold, registration is voluntary. This is a general guide only — the ATO and your accountant can give you advice specific to your situation.

Can I use InvoiceSent without a company registration?

Yes. InvoiceSent works for sole traders operating under their own name or a registered business name. You do not need a company structure or ACN to use it.

Can I send quotes as well as invoices?

Yes. The Pro plan supports quotes and estimates, including quote-to-invoice conversion when a client accepts. The Free and Starter plans focus on invoicing.

How does InvoiceSent handle GST for sole traders?

If you are GST-registered, set the 10% rate in your company profile and InvoiceSent will calculate and show GST on every invoice. If you are not GST-registered, set the rate to zero — your invoices will show totals without a GST line.

Can I track overdue invoices?

Yes. InvoiceSent shows which invoices are paid, unpaid and overdue. On the Starter and Pro plans, automated payment reminders follow up with clients when an invoice becomes overdue.
