At Dojo4 we use weekly invoices as a quick turn-around of an accounting of hours. Sending an accounting of hours every week, and having that kind of visibility and approval, gives us assurance that we’re heading in a direction that our clients feel good about.

How we produce invoices:

• Dojo4 workers log their hours (both billable & non-billable) in Redmine, ideally as soon as the work those hours, but by Sunday night at the latest
• Hours logged in Redmine are sucked into our invoicing software, Freshbooks, with an integration tool that we built, or manually at https://projects.dojo4.com/freshbooks/time_entries
• Invoices are generated manually for each project in Freshbooks at the beginning of every week (or whenever is agreed upon with each client)
• Invoices are based on hours worked but, if needed, are adjusted to reflect value
