Handl

Handl targets agencies that bill in more than one way at the same time — hourly, milestone, retainer and fixed-fee — where the usual failure is work that never reaches an invoice. It reads completed work from your project-management and timesheet tools, prices each line at your own rates, and prepares a draft when a milestone closes, the month ends or a retainer comes round. Nothing is sent until you approve it.

Accounting stays where it already lives: finished invoices push to Xero or QuickBooks. Around the billing step the product adds a client portal, cash-flow forecasting, tax set-aside reminders, deliverables held back until payment lands, and margin and budget alerts per project.

Setup is presented as a one-time configuration so that invoices arrive on their own with the work. Handl also ships an AI billing agent, a Slack app, an MCP connection, an integration list, and a library of calculators and templates such as a capacity planner, rate-card calculator and unbilled-hours calculator.

Turning closed milestones into ready-to-send invoice drafts; catching unbilled hours before the month closes; billing retainers and hourly work from one place; forecasting agency cash flow and project margin.
