Billtavo is an invoice maker for freelancers, contractors and small businesses that bill clients from a phone. Create an invoice, add your customer and your line items, then send it as a PDF in a couple of minutes.
Invoicing usually lands at the end of a long day, which is why Billtavo keeps the whole job on one screen. Your business details, your customers and the services you sell are saved once and reused on every invoice you write after that.
Who it is for
- Freelancers, consultants and creatives billing by the hour or by project
- Contractors and trades such as electricians, plumbers, landscapers and cleaners
- Online sellers and small retail shops that need invoices and receipts
- Tutors, photographers, personal trainers, drivers and home service providers
- Small agencies, startups and side businesses that do not run accounting software
How it works
1. Enter your business name, address, logo and payment terms one time.
2. Save your customers, plus the products or services you sell and their rates.
3. Start a new invoice, choose a customer, then add line items with quantity, rate, sales tax and any discount.
4. Preview the document, then send it by email or messaging app, or share the PDF anywhere.
5. Mark the invoice paid when the money arrives and keep an eye on what is still outstanding.
What you can do with Billtavo
- Write invoices, estimates and quotes, plus receipts for work already settled
- Customize the layout with your logo, accent colors, notes and terms
- Bill in US dollars or another currency, with sales tax and discounts per line
- Keep a customer list with contact details and billing history in one place
- Reuse saved items so hourly rates and product prices stay consistent
- Let invoice numbers run in sequence so nothing is duplicated or skipped
- Follow status at a glance: draft, sent, paid or past due

- Export a clean PDF, print it, or attach it to the email thread you already use
Sales tax, currency and payment terms
Set the sales tax rate you charge and apply it to the whole invoice or to single line items. Add a purchase order number, a due date, a deposit line and payment instructions such as bank transfer, check or a payment link you already use, so customers know how to settle up. If you work across state lines or with clients abroad, switch currency per customer.
Common questions
Do I need bookkeeping experience? No. If you can fill in a short form, you can write an invoice here, and the math is handled for you.
Can I send an estimate before the work starts? Yes. Write the estimate first, then turn the same details into an invoice once the job is done.
Will the document look professional? Your invoice carries your business name, logo and terms in a layout customers and accountants recognize.
Can I invoice from a job site? Yes. Everything is sized for a phone screen, so you can bill before you pull out of the driveway.
What if an invoice needs a change? Edit any field and send the updated PDF again.
Does it work for a one person business? Yes. Billtavo is as comfortable with one invoice a month as it is with several a day.
Small business invoicing does not need a desk, a spreadsheet or a paper pad. Install Billtavo, write your first invoice and send organized bills from wherever the work happens.
