Ever thought about the timing of your automated invoicing over New Year? Here's a sobering thought: As your clients ring in the New Year with champagne and celebrations, their first interaction with your business in 2025 might be... an automated invoice landing in their inbox at 12:01 AM. While automated billing systems like Xero are fantastic for efficiency, maybe the first of the month - especially New Year's Day - isn't the ideal time to send invoices. After all, do you want your first touchpoint of the year to be asking for money? Consider adjusting your billing schedule to the 2nd or 3rd just for January. Have a great Christmas and New Year break.
