Billing for one-off services and keeping the books in QuickBooks comes down to two connected steps: invoice the job the moment it's finished, then let that record flow into your accounting system without manual re-entry.
Bill for one-off jobs as soon as the work is done
One-off repairs, parts, and materials can be billed straight from the work order, using the data already captured in Skimmer rather than writing an invoice from scratch — Skimmer billing lets you bill for service, repairs, parts in a few clicks. Work orders are built to capture one-time and recurring jobs with linked checklist items, so the repair work, filter swaps, and any installed products pull into the invoice at the price you've set.
The timing matters: rather than letting repairs sit, you can be charging immediately for repairs the same way a streaming service bills the moment of purchase. Keeping a card on file for repair jobs lets you collect at job completion without chasing a check.
How the QuickBooks Online integration works
Skimmer pairs with QuickBooks Online so the field work you turn into invoices flows automatically into your accounting system, eliminating the need to manage two systems and cross-reference them by hand. Once an invoice is paid in Skimmer, it syncs to QuickBooks as an invoice and payment; with payments set to route into undeposited funds, QuickBooks then builds a digital bank deposit with those invoices already checkmarked and the processing fee subtracted to match what actually hit your bank — so reconciling is a single click to match. That combination of auto-invoicing and the QBO reconciliation workflow keeps records current and cuts reconciliation time.
