What is a Billing Statement?
A billing statement ā otherwise known as an account statement ā is a document that lists all charges made to a clientās account over a given period of time.
Itās different from an invoice in that it is not sent to notify clients of what they owe. It is simply to let them know how much they have been billed by your company in the past.
A comparable document would be the credit card statement that you receive every month to notify you of all of the charges that have been made.
“Itās beautiful and really well designed. The invoicing, accepting online payments and keeping track of expenses couldnāt be simpler.”

Why Use a Billing Statement?
Billing statements are great for communicating with clients and avoiding confusion. They give your clients a monthly or quarterly round up of all the charges that have been made to their accounts.
Creating and sending billing statements serves as both courtesy to a client and as a helpful file in your records. It allows you compare billing statements from different clients to see where your money is coming from each month. You can also analyze this information for insights to guide future business decisions.
