Billing for small agencies
Your team did the work. Now you’re the one chasing the money.
Handl connects your project tools to your invoicing, so the invoice is drafted the second a milestone clears — and the follow-ups send themselves. You run the agency. We'll handle getting you paid.
Free for 7 days, then flat plans from $29/mo.
- Invoices created automatically when work completes
- Payment reminders that keep chasing until you’re paid
- Clients pay from a link — no client login required
- Connects to Monday, Asana, Jira, Linear, ClickUp
The shape of the problem
Here's how it goes when you're 2 to 10 people
Nobody can remember who chased it last
The work ships. Everyone moves on to the next thing. And three weeks later someone notices the invoice from that big project still hasn't been paid — and nobody can remember who chased it, or if anyone did. The spreadsheet kind of worked at three clients. Past five, it falls apart.
The killer isn't one big unpaid invoice. It's the leak.
Scope creep doesn't arrive in obvious chunks — it leaks through small quick favours nobody logs. “While you're in there.” “Just one small change.” None feel worth a change-order conversation, so none happen — and three months later the margin's gone and nobody can point to where.
Profitable on paper, broke in the bank
Healthy margin, missed payroll — because the recurring costs hit before the client payments land. Net 30 is killing your cash flow, money's stuck in invoices you've already earned, and your job has quietly become debt collector.
What small agencies do instead
A stack of stuff held together with willpower
QuickBooks or Xero for the invoicing
Fine at making the invoice, useless at the part that matters: the chasing.
Asana / ClickUp / Monday / Notion for the work
Completely disconnected from the billing, so someone has to manually notice “this milestone's done” and go make an invoice.
A spreadsheet tracking who owes what
Days overdue, last reminder, promised-payment date — it breaks the moment you hit client number five.
Slack for nagging the account manager to nag the client
The follow-up that competes with billable work and loses, every single time.
Your memory holding it all together
Which is exactly why invoices slip. Manual follow-up doesn't fail because anyone's lazy. It fails because it's emotional, and it's the task everyone quietly avoids.
Four tools that don't talk to each other, plus a person whose week gets eaten by admin. The invoice is the easy 10%. The chasing is the 90% that wears the whole team down.

Three plans — solo, small team, unlimited agency — and the top one caps at $199/mo however big you get. The agency platforms charge $11–28 per seat, so the bill grows with every hire. Handl prices by plan, not per head. Cancel any time.
