As a professional music teacher your regular work cycle includes teaching, taking music sessions and getting paid. Teaching music is your forte but invoicing can be a bit complicated. Sometimes you charge students for single session, sometimes after a month, before a month or charge students for lessons. If you teach multiple musical instruments then teaching charges will be different for each instrument. You can almost end up spending hours in billing. Creating separate bill for each student is not only time-consuming but a very complex process. It also becomes an awkward situation to chase for payments by calling or keeping follow up with the students or their parents. Tracking payments (students who has paid, pending payment) of diverse students is also backbreaking.
Apart from passion, if you are teaching music as profession then maintaining smooth cashflow becomes very crucial. Automated invoicing is the most effective and super way to get paid on time.
