The secretary loop takes about 30 seconds. Same job on an estimate or an invoice.
“invoice the Smith job, two hours, parts on the truck”
Type it or press START. IA picks up the customer, the hours, and the parts.
What you told IA
IA handles the math, the line items, the bookkeeping entry. You still look at it before anything goes to Wave, QBO, or Xero.
Estimate — $245.00 pending review
It goes straight to Wave, QBO, or Xero. The customer gets the invoice. The books already have the entry.
Invoice INV-2187 — sent to Wave
After the secretary loop: unpaid follow-up, job calendar, bank match for owners, crew alerts from Listen, parts links near your zip, and an optional books migration.
