5 Reasons to Go Beyond Basic One-Way Invoice Syncing

(Between Airtable and your accounting software like Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks)

A simple one-way invoice sync is useful, but it often isn’t enough for growing businesses. Here’s why taking your integration further unlocks real value:

Get Started

Quoting

Quoting can be complex — combining fixed and flexible pricing, discounts, or calculations. By managing this in Airtable, you can create consistent, accurate quotes quickly, speeding up the sales process and reducing errors.

Invoice Creation

Once a quote is approved and work is delivered, it should seamlessly become an invoice. Airtable can feed your accounting system with correctly coded items ready for approval — keeping your sales data in Airtable while leaving your finance team in full control.

Billing Contacts

The bill payer is often not your main contact. With a dedicated billing section in Airtable, you can capture the correct billing details, including purchase order numbers, so invoices go to the right person every time.

Milestones

Need to invoice in stages — like 50% upfront and 50% on delivery? Airtable makes milestone billing simple. Track what has and hasn’t been invoiced yet, so you never miss a payment stage again.

Advanced Forms & Reports

Once Airtable and your accounting software are connected, the possibilities grow. From custom forms to streamline payment data collection, to consolidating tools like Stripe, Airtable’s flexibility means your integration can evolve with your business.

Bonus: End-to-End Reporting & Forecasting

For businesses that want the full picture, connecting quotes with actuals is game-changing. Using Airtable dashboards, we help you track performance, forecast accurately, and understand your business at every stage.
