Invoicing for tree services
Invoice Koi is an invoice app for tree services, with the climbing, the felling and the chipping as separate stages.
The iPhone app is coming to the App Store.
Almost nothing about a tree job is obvious to the person paying for it. They see one afternoon and a pile of logs. They do not see the access, the ropes, the second climber, the chipper, or the fact that green waste costs money to leave somewhere.

Three things that
save the evening.
Quoted properly, so the price survives the conversation
An estimate carries the access, the works and the clearing as separate lines. When it is accepted it converts to an invoice with the client, the lines, the tax and your terms carried across.
Access and hauling are not free, and the document says so
Group the stages under their own headings with their own subtotals, so the chipper and the dump run appear as work that was done rather than as padding on a removal price.
Rental and dump fees, off the receipt
Photograph the rental invoice and the scale ticket and they are read into expenses with their tax. The reports then show what the week cost as well as what it earned.
Asked by tree services.
How do I quote a job that takes two days with a team?
Price it as a day rate line with the days as the quantity, or as stages with their own subtotals. Both are estimates that convert to an invoice once the work is agreed.
Can I show green waste disposal separately from the felling?
Yes. It is its own line, and it can sit under its own heading so a customer keeping the logs can see exactly what they are and are not paying for.
Can I take a deposit before booking a big job in?
Yes. Put the deposit on the document, and what remains is what is left to pay when the work is finished.
