Dashboard Deep‑Dive: Real‑Time Revenue, Profit & Overdue Invoices at a Glance — header image

Your numbers tell a story—if you can see them. The Invoice Master dashboard puts the right KPIs front‑and‑center so you spot cash leaks, late payers and growth trends the moment you log in.


What you’ll see at a glance

| Widget | What it shows | Why it matters | |---|---|---| | Expense vs Income (P&L) | Income and expenses over time | Quick profitability pulse—no spreadsheets | | Revenue & Profit Cards | Total revenue, total expenses, net profit | One‑line business health check | | Overdue Invoices | Late invoices by age and value | Target collections where it counts | | Quote Pipeline | Draft / sent / accepted | Forecast revenue and prioritize follow‑ups | | Upcoming Bills | Payables due in next 30 days | Prevent cash‑flow crunches before they hit |

Pro tip: Click any number to open the underlying invoices, quotes or bills—instant drill‑down.


Make the most of dashboard filters

  • Use the date, client, project, tag, and currency filters to focus on the slice of data that matters right now.
  • Filter to a single currency when comparing totals so you’re not mixing exchange rates.
  • Need to revisit a view? Jot the filter combo in your notes and reapply it in a click.

Drill‑down like a pro

  • Hover for details: See per‑invoice or per‑day values on the charts.
  • A/R aging buckets: Open the Overdue widget to view 1–15, 16–30, 31–60, 60+ day buckets.
  • Quick actions from widgets: Send reminders, mark bills paid, or convert quotes without leaving the dashboard.
  • Save views: Pin your favorite filter combo (e.g., This Quarter · Client A · Project Alpha).
