Does Glo Invoice generate lien waivers?

Glo Invoice doesn't generate lien waivers or preliminary notices — those are state-specific legal documents. What it does is make sure the invoice itself has the address, PO, and dates you need to attach one.

How is retainage released?

On the final invoice, Glo Invoice pre-fills the accumulated retainage as its own line. You send that separately (or combined with final billing) after project close.

Can multiple invoices tie to one job?

Yes — that's the point. All invoices, change orders, and payments roll up to the job total and remaining balance.

Can I attach signed change orders?

Yes. Attach PDFs, photos, or scans directly to the invoice or the job. They travel with the PDF export.

Subcontractor invoicing that keeps you above water

Subs get squeezed on cash flow because GCs pay slow and paperwork buries fast. The fix isn't more paperwork — it's invoicing that produces the exact documentation the GC's accounting team needs on the first try.

Glo Invoice generates lien-friendly invoices with job address, GC contact, PO number, retainage line, and per-line taxability. If you have to file a preliminary notice, everything you need is already on the invoice.

How Glo Invoice does it

Job-address + PO on every invoice

Job-site address, GC contact, and PO/change-order number are first-class fields. GC AP teams process the invoice on receipt instead of kicking it back.

Retainage line, calculated correctly

Retainage line item auto-calculates 5% or 10% and reduces the current balance due. The withheld amount accumulates against the job for the final release invoice.

Job history the GC can't dispute

Every invoice, change order, and payment ties to the job. Export the full ledger as a PDF when it's time to send a final billing or a demand.

How it works

Step 1
Set up the job
Job address, GC contact, PO number, contract total, retainage rate.
Step 2
Bill progress
Percent complete or fixed milestone — retainage line calculates automatically.
Step 3
Send by email + PDF
GC AP teams need PDF attachments. Glo Invoice generates one on send, with your logo and license number.
Step 4
Track and follow up
Automated 30/60/90 reminders. Full job ledger exportable when needed.
