Instead of Word or Excel invoice templates
Stop making invoices in Word or Excel
A Word or Excel template makes you type every total, tax figure and invoice number by hand, and the layout breaks as soon as a line is added. JenVoice keeps the look you want but works out GST, VAT or sales tax, totals and numbering for you, and it is free to start with no sign-up.
