Free Online Invoicing Software From The Makers Of QuickBooks

If you are a small business owner, you'd probably prefer to spend your time providing your customers with great products and services; and not creating, sending, and tracking invoices.

Intuit Billing Manager is meant to help with all that by being fast, easy, and FREE.


Billing Manager is an easy way to create and manage your invoices online. And it's from Intuit – the makers of QuickBooks, Quicken, and TurboTax.

To get started just pick an invoice style and add your logo. Your company and customer information is remembered as you enter it, so each invoice is faster and easier than the last.

With one click, you can see your overdue invoices or who owes the most. Browse or search your online invoices or customers—instantly!

Billing Manager is FREE — you can create online invoices for free, you can track your customers and payments for free, you can use your own logo for free and so on.

So what's the catch? how do they make money?

There is an optional electronic payment service (QuickBooks Merchant Service) that is fully integrated with Billing Manager. It costs money.

It lets you process credit cards in Billing Manager. It also lets your customers pay your invoices online.

You don’t have to do this (ever), and you can happily use Billing Manager for free.

But the idea is that for some businesses, accepting credit cards and letting their customer pay online will help them get paid faster and more easily.

That’s it, that’s the catch.

Here are some other things you can do with Billing Manager:

  • Select from professional invoice templates
  • Email or print online invoices
  • See each invoice’s history—when it was sent, received and paid
  • See what’s overdue and easily send reminders
  • They do the math (sales tax too!) for fast, accurate invoices
