When Does Automation NOT Make Sense?
Be honest: Invoice automation might not be worth it if:
- • You only invoice 1-2 times per YEAR (time savings negligible)
- • You love manual data entry (some people do!)
- • Your invoices are 1-line items and take 2 minutes manually
- • You bill $10/hr (time savings isn't valuable enough)
For everyone else (invoicing 2+/month, billing $50+/hr): Automation pays off immediately.
