Invoice Payment Tracking & Accountant Export
Mark quotes as paid with the actual payment date. Export every paid invoice in a date range as a ZIP file — individual branded PDFs plus a summary listing — ready to hand to your accountant.
The Problem: Tax Season Chaos
Every January the same thing happens. Your accountant asks for “all invoices from last tax year.” You dig through email attachments, scroll through a folder of PDFs with unhelpful filenames, and try to remember which quotes were actually paid and when.
TailoredQuote solves this by tracking payment status on every quote and letting you export everything your accountant needs in two clicks.
How It Works
What’s in the ZIP
The export produces a single ZIP file containing:
- One branded PDF per paid invoice — identical to what you’d download from the Saved Quotes page, including your letterhead
- A plain-text summary file (
invoices.txt) with a table showing: Invoice Reference, Date Generated, Date Paid, Customer Name, and Total - A grand total row at the bottom of the summary
- A header showing your business name, the export date, the date range, and the invoice count
Hand the ZIP to your accountant as-is. Everything they need is in one file.
Tax return sorted. No spreadsheet, no digging through emails.
Start Your Free TrialUK Tax Year Built In
The date range selector understands UK tax years (6 April to 5 April). Select “Current UK tax year” and it automatically calculates the correct boundaries — even across the April transition.
Available presets:
- Current UK tax year — 6 April this year to 5 April next year (default)
- Previous UK tax year — the year before the current one
- This calendar year — 1 January to 31 December
- All time — every paid invoice on your account
- Custom range — pick any start and end date

Repeat Invoices
For recurring work (monthly maintenance, phased projects), use the Repeat button on any saved quote. It duplicates the quote with a new date and reference number — same customer, same scope, same price. Mark the new invoice as paid when the next payment lands.
