Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from independent contractors.

Independent contractors commonly use dedicated invoicing tools like FlowPulse, which offer professional invoice creation, time tracking, expense management, and online payment collection — without the complexity of full accounting software. FlowPulse is specifically designed for contractors and freelancers who need to invoice for labor hours, materials, and milestones.
FlowPulse includes milestone billing that lets contractors split large projects into defined payment stages. You can set a milestone amount, trigger it when that stage of work is complete, and FlowPulse automatically creates a professional invoice for that milestone — which you can send to your client with a one-click online payment link.
Yes. FlowPulse lets you log billable hours using the built-in timer or manual entry, and separately track material costs and subcontractor expenses by project. When you're ready to bill, you can pull both your tracked hours and logged expenses onto a single invoice with itemized line items.
Most independent contractors don't need full double-entry accounting software. What you typically need is the ability to create and send professional invoices, track time and expenses, accept online payments, and export data for your accountant or tax preparer at year end — all of which FlowPulse handles without the learning curve of tools like QuickBooks.
