Marketcircle has updated Billings, time and
expense billing software for the Mac-based
creative and business professional, to version
3.0. Key features include:

° A streamlined interface with features such as
client groups and the chronological accounts view
with inline preview help to streamline day-to-day
workflow.

° 30 professionally designed templates.

° Instant overdue invoice notification. Billings
3 immediately notifies users of overdue invoices
with a red icon next to the client's name. Users
can then click on the overdue amount to send an
instant overdue invoice statement as a gentle
reminder.

° Consolidated and recurring invoices. With
Billings 3, users can consolidate and send
invoices for multiple projects or send recurring
invoices. Invoice items can be easily
re-arranged, and users can choose to send Pro
Forma invoices for approval prior to sending the
final invoice.

° Easy tracking of time and expenses. Billings 3
lets users track time using a menu-bar timer
available from any application. Additionally,
users can start and stop the timer using global
hot-keys. Each time entry can be annotated using
a convenient button on the floating timers window.

° 30 business reports (17 new) such as "billed
and collected," "unpaid invoices," "expenses tax
report," "retainer balances," "activity by
client" and more.
