About This Automation

Recurring service charge billing involves manually gathering tenant data, calculating charges, creating invoices, sending them to tenants, and reconciling payments. The manual process is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays cash collection.

Automation calculates charges based on lease terms, generates invoices in the accounting system, sends them automatically, monitors payments, and reconciles received funds. The result is faster billing cycles, fewer errors, and improved cash flow.

Key features
Calculate service charges automatically based on unit size, occupancy, and lease terms
Generate and send invoices to tenants without manual data entry
Monitor incoming payments and flag discrepancies for review
Reconcile payments to invoices and update accounting records in real time
Send payment reminders to tenants with overdue balances
Generate month-end billing reports with aging analysis

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Monthly Billing Cycle Startstrigger

On the first of each month, the automation is triggered to begin the service charge billing process. Tenant and unit data is automatically pulled from the connected source.

2. Calculate Service Charges

An intelligent reviews tenant data, lease terms, and occupancy status, then calculates each tenant's service charge share automatically. Prorations and adjustments are applied per rules.

3. Create Invoices in QuickBooks

Calculated charges are automatically formatted and created as invoices with correct due dates and payment terms.

4. Send Invoices

Invoices are automatically sent to tenant email addresses with a personalized message and any required attachments.

5. Monitor Payments

Incoming payments are automatically captured and matched to invoices. Payment status is updated in QuickBooks in real time.

6. Send Overdue Reminders

Tenants with unpaid invoices past the due date automatically receive a reminder email.

7. Post Reconciliation Summary

A daily summary of invoices sent, payments received, and outstanding balances is posted for the accounting team to review.
