Invoices, quotes and receipts for independent operators and small trades — with real-world tax handled per line, not guessed at.

Free to start, and the invoicing stays free. No card to begin.
The invoice is the easy part. The tax is where the cheap tools break.
Some lines taxable, some exempt. GST here, GST + PST there. Prices tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive. Customers in different jurisdictions. Incleus handles all of it, per line — so what you send is correct, and looks it.
One tool for the whole cycle — quote it, invoice it, mark it paid — without a spreadsheet or an accountant on call.
The same clean document, three jobs. Turn a quote into an invoice into a receipt without retyping a thing.
Assign rates to each line — taxable, exempt, GST + PST, HST — with an inclusive/exclusive switch. The breakdown adds up every time.
Selling into other jurisdictions? Incleus can figure the right rate from the customer's address, and watch your thresholds for you.
Save the people and things you bill for, track balances as they're paid, and get invoice numbers that never collide.
Email it and the invoice IS the message — lines, tax, what's already been paid, what's left. It links to a page that always shows the current balance, so a part-payment never turns into an argument.
Your logo and details on every document, and your late-payment terms printed where the client will read them. Change them tomorrow and the invoices you already sent still say what they said.
Price it from what it actually costs you. Track the hours and the materials against that price. Find out you're over while there's still something you can do about it.
Build the price from materials, labour and subcontractors, then set the margin you want. Move the margin and the price follows; move the price and you see what margin you just agreed to. The client never sees the breakdown.
Log time and materials to the job. Incleus measures them against what you quoted, category by category — so “we're over on materials” arrives as a number in week two, not a feeling in week six.
Photograph a receipt, or have supplier bills emailed straight to your own Incleus address. Incleus reads the line items, and you check them before anything is saved — a misread digit would quietly wreck a margin. Mark each bill paid when the money leaves. The original stays on file, attached to the cost it paid for.
What you've spent and what you've actually paid out, as two separate numbers — never blended into one comfortable figure. Drop below the floor you set and it says so, and shows what you'd need to bill to get back to it. It never changes a bill on its own.
Pull the billable hours and costs straight onto an invoice instead of retyping them off a notebook. Nothing can be billed twice — the moment you issue it, those hours and costs are marked as used.
Revenue, costs by category, tax collected against tax paid — each cost pointing at the receipt behind it. Incleus organizes it. It doesn't file anything, and it won't tell you what you owe — that determination is your accountant's.
Not a wall of charts. A short list of what's actually wrong, and a handful of numbers that say how the business is doing.
Overdue invoices, deadlines closing in, a job whose margin has slipped under your floor. Every flag is worked out fresh from your records, so one can't sit there glowing after you've been paid. Snooze the ones you've dealt with.
Money collected this month and money billed this month are different facts, so they're different tiles. What you're owed, aged by how late it is. Sales tax you've charged — labelled as charged, never as owed.
“Late on 7 of 9, averaging 11 days” — from your own history with them, for your eyes only. Observations, not a score, and never a verdict. You know why that invoice was late; the software doesn't.
Best and thinnest margin across your projects, and where the revenue is concentrated. The kind of thing you only find out at year end, except you find it out now.
Add your lines, pick who's paying, set the tax. Saved clients and items mean most of it fills itself in.
Issue it — Incleus stamps the number and locks the record. Email it straight to your client as the invoice itself, or print it.
Let them pay by card from the invoice, or record the cheque or e-transfer as it lands. Balances and paid-status look after themselves, and the client always sees what's actually left.
Invoicing is free and stays free — it isn't a trial that expires. The paid tiers exist for the two things that genuinely cost us money to run, and the two things a growing job actually needs.
