Automate sales tax compliance

- Auto-calculate sales tax based on local tax code for every invoice.
- Pass sales tax line items to your general ledger or CRM to ensure your customer data is accurate across your applications.
Invoice management at scale
Generate invoices for thousands of customers, and charge accurately and on time with the click of a button.
Toggle Maxio’s built-in invoice fields, or create your own custom fields, to include as much detail as necessary for your clients.
Invoices can be automatically created:
- On subscription signup
- At subscription renewal
- For prorated upgrades
- For ad hoc charges
If you choose not to automate invoice sends, you can still save time by selecting and sending multiple invoices at one time.
Maxio helps you keep track of each invoice’s status, so you can quickly see what’s been paid and what hasn’t.
If a customer has a credit balance at the time of subscription renewal, the available balance will automatically apply to their renewal invoice.
Improve cashflow and drive down DSO
Creating, sending, and tracking invoices is just the beginning. Automate your collections process to create a more efficient accounts receivable process.
Create a custom collections cadence
Manually or automatically send reminders for over due invoices via email directly from Maxio.
Establish pre-determined escalation paths
Escalate overdue invoices with escalation paths to loop in your customer’s key stakeholders.
Report on your collections efforts
Use data to drive your collections strategy. Access reports like DSO monitoring and AR aging trends to see if your efforts are trending in the right direction.

Invoicing software FAQs
Invoicing software is software purpose built for finance teams. This type of software automates historically manual accounting processes freeing teams to dedicate time on more strategic projects. Processes like revenue recogntion, producing SaaS metrics, reconciliation, collections, and more are handled by this type of software.
Recurring billing software and subscription billing software both automate the process of charging customers at regular intervals, but they cater to different business needs. Recurring billing software is designed for any type of business that needs to charge customers periodically (e.g., monthly utility bills), focusing on the automation of repeat payments for ongoing services or products.
On the other hand, subscription billing platforms are specifically tailored for businesses, often in the SaaS realm, that utilize a subscription-based business model. These platforms are able to support various subscription models and pricing plans, manage customer subscriptions, handle upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations, and often integrate with other business tools. While both systems ensure timely payments, subscription billing platforms offer more functionalities to manage the complexities of subscription-based models, including customer lifecycle, subscription metrics, and tailored pricing strategies.
Maxio’s advanced accounts receivable management software streamlines accounts receivable management by automating customer payments and collections management. It allows users to customize invoicing, implement automated dunning processes to recover past due payments, and manage customer accounts efficiently. These features help businesses reduce the time and effort spent on manual collections and improve cash flow.
Our subscription billing software addresses failed payments through a comprehensive revenue management platform that can implement several revenue management strategies, such as sending automated notifications to customers about payment issues, and working with major payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, and more to facilitate retries. This proactive approach ensures businesses maintain a steady cash flow while keeping customer relationships intact, offering multiple pathways to resolve payment failures and keep subscriptions active.
