Guided exploration

What to look for

Three things that make finance work for a project-based business โ€” not just a product company with a simple order-to-invoice cycle.

Progressive Billing

Projects are billed in stages โ€” 30% upon signing, 40% at delivery, 30% on acceptance. Each invoice ties back to the project, the milestone, and the original quote. The system tracks outstanding progress billing across all active projects so nothing gets missed at month end.

Deposit Tracking

A deposit collected today is a liability until it is earned. The system holds deposits in a dedicated account, applies them against final invoices, and releases the balance automatically when the job closes. The P&L reflects earned revenue โ€” not cash received.

Accountant-Ready Books

Every journal entry is traceable to a source document โ€” invoice, payment, bank transaction, or manual adjustment. Export the trial balance, the AR and AP ageing, and the bank reconciliation in formats your accountant can work with directly. No cleanup required before audit.

Next step

This is one scenario. Your business has its own.

Pixelcraft runs on projects and retainers. Your revenue model, your chart of accounts, and your reporting requirements are yours. Walk us through them and we will show you the configuration that fits.
