# Freelancers and small teams

> Invoices, proposals, and client emails that fill themselves in.

When you run your own business, you’re also the billing department, the sales team, and customer service. SimpleFill takes the repetitive writing off your plate.

## Invoices that do the math

Build an invoice as a rich [snippet](https://simplefill.app/docs/snippets) with a table, your logo, and [Fields](https://simplefill.app/docs/fields) for what changes. Add a [calculation](https://simplefill.app/docs/calculations) for the total:

```
Invoice {{invoice-number}}        Date: {{date | formatDate("D MMMM YYYY")}}
Bill to: {{client}}

Design work    {{hours}} hours × ${{rate}}    = ${{multiply}}

Payment due by {{date | addDays(30) | formatDate("D MMMM YYYY")}}.
```

Insert it into an email, or open the snippet’s **⋯** menu and choose **Export as PDF** to send a document. The marketplace has ready-made [invoice templates](https://simplefill.app/marketplace?type=template) to start from.

## Proposals and quotes

Keep the parts you reuse as [Blocks](https://simplefill.app/docs/blocks): `@about-me`, `@process`, `@terms`, `@testimonials`. Each proposal is then a short snippet that pulls them together, with Fields for the client and project.

## Client emails

| Shortcut | What it’s for |
| --- | --- |
| `;kickoff` | Welcome a new client and explain what happens next |
| `;update` | A weekly progress update with Fields for done, next, and blockers |
| `;invoice` | Send an invoice, with the due date filled in |
| `;remind` | A polite payment reminder |
| `;wrap` | Close a project and ask for a testimonial |

## Your details, always to hand

Save your business name, address, tax number, and bank details as snippets in a *Business* [folder](https://simplefill.app/docs/folders). Fill any form with [auto-suggestions](https://simplefill.app/docs/auto-suggestions), or save whole forms you fill often, like a client’s supplier portal, with [one-click form fill](https://simplefill.app/docs/form-fill).

## Let AI do the polishing

- Run `;pro` on a quick note to a new client.
- Run **Translate** on a message to a client abroad.
- Create a custom [AI action](https://simplefill.app/docs/ai-actions) called *Polite but firm* for payment reminders.
