Invoicing for General Contracting Companies
General Contracting general contractors have a specific problem: leads, bids, and active projects compete for attention and follow-up always loses. SalesButler's Invoicing is built to fix exactly that for general contracting businesses. Sales tax, deposits, partial payments, Stripe links, and signed PDFs — built for service businesses, not accountants.

Invoicing Built for General Contracting
Take a $45,000 remodel: winning or losing it often comes down to how well you handle invoicing. When a time-sensitive bid request comes in during spring and summer, a general contractor stretched across jobs can't afford to let it slip. Invoicing keeps general contracting work moving from first contact to paid invoice — without adding office staff.
- Using invoicing to handle a time-sensitive bid request the instant it lands, instead of after voicemail.
- Keeping a $45,000 remodel on track with invoicing, from the first call through to a paid invoice.
- Leaning on invoicing to stay ahead of spring and summer demand without adding office staff.
