Anchor

It helps accounting firms, bookkeepers, agencies, consultants and B2B service providers stop chasing payments: signed agreements automatically drive invoicing, collection and reconciliation.

Boundaries: US-based payment processing only, invoices use a fixed layout with a logo, and clients cannot edit agreement terms directly in the portal.

Before you choose

Check before choosing

  • International credit card payments are not supported: payment processing is US-based only, and both the firm and its clients must use US-issued credit cards or domestic ACH accounts.
