Finished but not invoiced? The work is done — the money is not

You finished the job in March. The client is happy. The invoice was never sent — not out of carelessness, but because nothing anywhere lists "work that is done and unbilled" in one place. It sits in a chat thread, a timesheet and your memory, and quietly turns into money you never got. The fix is embarrassingly simple: one board where finished work cannot hide.

Where finished work hides

• Marked done in your head, but never entered anywhere as billable
• Half-invoiced: a deposit went out, the balance never did, and no view shows the difference
• Invoiced and forgotten the other way: sent, unpaid, and past due — with the status never flipped because flipping it was manual

One pipeline, four states that matter

The Freelance Invoice Guard runs one pipeline board from Lead to Paid, on four connected databases — Clients, Jobs, Invoices, Payments. The states that protect your money are the transitions:

• Done → invoiced: the Finished — Not Invoiced view lists completed work with no invoice, or only a partial one, and totals the unbilled amount
• Invoiced → overdue: flagged automatically from the due date, never by a status you have to remember to flip
• Partially paid → balance owed: payments are recorded per invoice, so a deposit never masquerades as a settled bill

The 10-minute weekly review

1. Open the Finished — Not Invoiced view. Anything listed is money already earned and not yet asked for. Send those invoices now.
2. Open the overdue view. Chase what is flagged; because the flag comes from dates, the list is never stale by more than the week.
3. Check partial payments. Confirm each balance owed is a number you can defend from the payment records.

Ten minutes, once a week, against views that maintain themselves. The alternative — reconstructing your billing from memory at tax time — is the expensive version of the same job.
