Even if you don't chase checks, I'm sure you chase clients around their schedules to get paid. That's the pain that Anchor fixes. I'm so excited!

When I started my business, I bought a brand new car to pick up my clients' checks all over town. It had 160.000 miles on it two years later. Even if you don't chase checks, I'm sure you chase clients around their schedules to get paid. That's the pain that Anchor fixes. I'm so excited!

Reviews from QuickBooks Marketplace

“Proposals in under 60 secs, best support!”

“Once my templates were built out, I can have a proposal out the door in less than 60 seconds. The support and customer service are fantastic, one of the best in the software 'sphere' I work in.”

KariB, United States
Yes, I recommend this product.

"Perfect for any service based business"

Anchor has allowed me to provide clients the ability to choose the package that works for them while automatically collecting payment monthly.  It has removed me for collecting payment which has been a huge time saver as a solo firm runner."

KatieH, United States
 It's incredibly cost effective and easy to use.

"Amazing Proposal and Invoicing Tool"

Anchor has been awesome since we've started using it! I like that you can build out your templates, and send very professional and customizable proposals to clients. I've gotten great feedback from clients overall, and I like the different features Anchor has to offer. It's also very inexpensive and offers tremendous value.

FAQ

‍‍‍How exactly does Anchor guarantee on-time payments from my clients?

The moment your client signs the engagement letter, their payment method is secured in the system. When an invoice comes due, you get paid automatically—no waiting for physical checks.

Will this create more reconciliation work in my accounting ledger?

The opposite happens. The system matches each deposit and processing fee directly to the corresponding invoice in QuickBooks or Xero, closing your books automatically and eliminating hours of data entry.

Can I control who pays the credit card processing fees?

Yes, you decide whether to pass the standard credit card fee to clients or absorb it yourself to protect your margins—the choice is entirely yours.

Do my clients need to create an Anchor account to pay me?

No account needed. Clients click a secure smart link, review your proposal, sign the agreement, and input their payment details.

How do I handle billing for out-of-scope work?

Simply add a new line item or one-off charge to the client's next billing cycle. No new proposal needed and the extra work gets billed automatically.

Does Anchor support milestone billing or just monthly retainers?

Both, plus everything in between. Manage recurring retainers, fixed-fee projects, hourly advisory work, and milestone payments all from the same agreement.

How much does Anchor cost per month?

You only pay a flat $5 fee per successful payment received, allowing your firm to scale without heavy software overhead.

Can I customize the proposals to match my firm's branding?

Yes, upload your logo, adjust colors, and customize the wording of your engagement letters so every client-facing document reflects your firm.

How long does it take to transition my existing clients?

You can start on day one. Import your client roster and use our pre-built service templates to begin securing autonomous billing agreements immediately.

‍Who covers the payment processing fees?

CH payments are completely free, and you have full control to either absorb the processing fees for credit cards or pass them directly to your client. This allows you to dictate your exact billing mechanics during the initial agreement setup.

What happens if a client's pre-approved payment method fails?

If a client stops a payment within Anchor, it is placed on hold free of charge until they click "Resolve" to let it proceed. If a payment fails due to an external dispute or ACH return, it is marked as failed—incurring a $20 chargeback fee—and you can manually retry processing it in your dashboard after reviewing the issue with your client.

What integrations does Anchor support?

Anchor integrates with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Karbon, Keeper, Client Hub, Financial Cents, and monday.com. Payment and invoicing data syncs automatically, keeping your books up to date and reconciliation clean without manual exports or re-entry.

‍Is Anchor suitable for firms with multiple team members?

Yes. Anchor includes team management features that let you add as many users as your firm needs. You can assign and customize access permissions per user controlling who can create, edit, or view proposals, invoices, and client information making it easy to delegate billing tasks without losing oversight.

‍How does Anchor improve cash flow predictability?

Because payments are collected automatically based on pre-approved terms, revenue arrives consistently and on schedule. Anchor's business dashboard provides real-time visibility into revenue forecasts, invoice pipelines, outstanding amounts, and upcoming collections giving firm owners the data they need to plan confidently and eliminate cash flow surprises.
With Anchor, your invoicing and payments data automatically syncs with QuickBooks Online, ensuring a successful reconciliation and keeping your books up-to-date.
