Frequently asked questions

What is a statement of account?

A statement of account is a summary of all the invoices, payments and credits between you and a customer over a period — usually a month. It shows the opening balance, the activity in the period and the closing balance.

Is a statement of account a demand for payment?

It is a reminder, not a fresh demand. Each invoice listed is still the actual demand for the amount on it; the statement summarises which are still outstanding.

How often should I send statements?

Monthly is the most common cadence — typically the first or last day of the month. Some businesses send weekly to large clients with high invoice volumes.

How is a statement different from an invoice?

An invoice bills for a single transaction; a statement summarises many invoices and payments over time and shows the running balance. The two work together.
