The whole AR loop, in one place
Every part of getting paid — covered
Each pain below is a real complaint we hear from contractors using QuickBooks-only or paper-and-Stripe-link workflows. Each maps to a specific Breche feature.
The pain
AR aging is a black hole until you do a manual reconciliation.
What Breche does
Reports → Accounts Receivable surfaces a real-time aging summary in five buckets (Current, 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+). The Financials hub surfaces outstanding totals and overdue counts at a glance — no spreadsheet pulls, no surprises on month-end close.
The pain
Customers say "put it on the card" but you have no online payment link.
What Breche does
Every invoice gets a Pay Online link in the email and on the PDF. Stripe Connect handles card (2.9% + $0.30) and ACH (0.8%, $10 max). The dedicated /pay/<token> route works whether or not the customer has a portal account.
The pain
Per-line invoicing requires a calculator and three sticky notes to avoid double-billing.
What Breche does
Pull approved estimate lines into an invoice, set quantities, and a contracted-vs-billed bar tracks every line independently. A hard-block stops you from over-billing. Change orders extend the contract automatically so progress draws stay accurate.
The pain
A 3% card fee on a $50k construction draw is $1,500 you didn't budget.
What Breche does
Per-invoice payment toggles let you disable card and force ACH on big draws — $10 cap means $50k costs $10 to settle. On smaller service-call invoices, leave card enabled for instant settlement. Your call, per invoice.
The pain
Auto-generated service contract invoices arrive without context.
What Breche does
Per-visit billing fires an invoice automatically on visit completion with the actual labor + materials captured during the visit. Recurring contracts run on a configurable schedule. The Pay Online link is included so customers can settle within hours.
The pain
Late-paying customers slip through manual reminder emails.
What Breche does
Overdue counts and balances surface on the Financials hub and in Reports. Stripe captures payment confirmation in real time — invoice status flips to paid the moment the webhook fires, payment record auto-created, and the project Financials tab updates. Configurable reminder schedules are queued for accounting phase.
Features
Built for contractors, not generic billing
Per-line invoicing from estimate
Pick which approved estimate lines to bill on each draw. Contracted-vs-billed bar tracks every line; hard-block prevents over-billing.
Online payments — card + ACH
Stripe Connect handles card (2.9% + $0.30) and ACH (0.8%, $10 max). Dedicated /pay/<token> route. Webhook flips invoice to paid in real time.
AR aging dashboard
Real-time aging buckets (Current, 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+) with donut chart and invoice-level drilldown. Outstanding totals on the Financials hub.
Section-based invoices
Same multi-section model as estimates — group lines by section, hide internal sections from the customer copy, keep clean totals.
Per-invoice payment toggles
Disable card or ACH per invoice. Force ACH on big construction draws (cap fee economics) or card-only on small service calls (instant settlement).
Progress invoicing tracker
Bill multi-section contracts in stages. Each line tracks contracted vs. billed. Approved change orders extend the contract automatically.
Service contract auto-invoicing
