A tool for average people

BasicInvoice.com.au with its simple to use intuitive interface, has been designed from the ground up with your average everyday Australian micro and family business in mind:

  • Tradies
  • Micro and Market Retailers
  • Cafes and Restaurants
  • Contractors and Sub Contractors
  • ……You

Basic Invoice is for people, not just accountants and book keepers.

Create an invoice from anywhere

As a web-based application, BasicInvoice.com.au can be run from practically any web-enabled device anywhere in the world. Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iPad, iPhone? We don’t mind – just login via your standard internet browser.

Customisable

While we do give you a standard invoice to get started, we understand that your brand is important;  With Basic Invoice you can easily add your own logo to our clean and simple invoice and quote templates for a professional look.  Trading hours, GST calculation, discounts…. its all optional and more importantly customisable.  After all it’s your business, and every business is different.

Automated and Basic

Basic Invoice feels just like writing out a quote or invoice by hand, and thanks to our Australian designed and hosted intuitive software, Basic Invoice does all the calculations and record keeping in the background meaning you can avoid loads of double handling and get back to work.  We even backup your database for you….Every day.

Customer Record Management (CRM)

Keeping track of your customers, what services or products were rendered, and (where necessary) what they owe you, is fundamental in creating a sustainable business. Basic Invoice’s simple and unique quotation -> then migration to unpaid/paid invoice system means our customer management and debt control features will help you stay on top.  You can even search or add a new customer without leaving the comfort of your invoice page.

Inventory

You have an inclusive but optional built in product and services inventory. You can instantly add items to quotes and invoices (again without leaving the comfort of your invoice page) using a barcode scanner, or using our super-easy quick link number system.

Australian for Australians

That “.com.au” in our name isn’t a re-branding of a program from some off shore company;  BasicInvoice.com.au was created in Australia, by Australians, for all Australians. Starting out as an Australian small business ourselves has made us understand how small business operate in this country and in turn has helped us develop this unique, easy-to-use package. In fact, at the time of writing we are the only invoicing and book keeping software to carry the “Australian Made and Owned” logo.

Hosted securely in Australia for your convenience

We know most people can’t set up their own accounting server, which is why we host Basic Invoice on a secure Australian Data Center Server for you. For an affordable monthly or annual subscription, we keep your accounting suite easily accessible and at the ready.  Don’t risk your personal details to overseas interests or hackers on your personal computer.  We take your security seriously.
