Invoicing and Fortnox — no more paperwork
It is the 25th of the month. Stable invoices are due. You open the Excel spreadsheet, check who joined, who left, who has add-on services. Then you write invoices one by one and send them by email or bank transfer. Someone pays right away. Someone “forgets”. Three weeks later you are still chasing unpaid invoices.
This takes hours every month. Hours you could have spent in the stable.
The old way
Most stable owners handle invoicing with some combination of:
- Excel or Google Sheets — a manual list of stable places, prices, and extras
- PDF invoices — created by hand in Word or a free invoicing tool
- Bank transfers — no automatic matching, you reconcile manually
- Fortnox or accounting software — double entry because you key everything in twice
- Reminder texts — “Hi, you haven’t paid for March yet…”
The result? Hours of administration, incorrect amounts, missed invoices, and a nagging feeling that the books never quite add up.
How EquiDuty handles invoicing
EquiDuty manages the entire chain — from chargeable item to payment and accounting — in one flow.
1. Chargeable items — everything in one place
You define your stable’s chargeable items once:
- Stable place — 4 500 SEK/month
- Paddock place — 2 500 SEK/month
- Lesson fee — 450 SEK/session
- Extra hay feeding — 300 SEK/month
- Arena rental — 200 SEK/session
Each item is linked to the correct VAT rate (25%, 6% for education, or VAT-exempt). You choose whether it recurs monthly or is charged per occurrence.
2. Billing groups — the right price for the right person
Every stable member is assigned to a billing group that determines which items they are charged for. A horse in a box gets the stable place fee. A horse on outdoor board gets the paddock fee. Someone who rides three lessons per week gets the lesson fees automatically.
No need to manually add line items to each invoice. The system already knows what to charge.
3. Automatic billing periods
EquiDuty generates invoices based on periods you choose — monthly, quarterly, or custom. When a period starts, a draft invoice is created with all items totalled per stable member.
You review the draft, adjust if needed, and approve. The invoice is sent automatically.
4. Payment dashboard
The dashboard shows you in real time:
- Sent invoices — with amounts and due dates
- Paid — matched automatically or marked manually
- Overdue — with days past due and pending reminders
- Period revenue — broken down by item and VAT rate
You get a full overview without opening a separate accounting program.
5. Fortnox integration — one click
This is where it really saves time. EquiDuty connects directly to your Fortnox account via API. When you approve an invoice in EquiDuty:
- The invoice is created automatically in Fortnox with the correct account, VAT rate, and customer details
- Payments sync back — when the customer pays in Fortnox, the status updates in EquiDuty
- VAT is correct from the start — no manual adjustments needed
From stable place and lesson to booked invoice — one click.
No double entry. No export files. No discrepancies between systems.
What difference does this make?
Before EquiDuty:
“I spent three evenings getting the January invoices out. Then it took another two weeks to chase payments. And when the accountant checked, the VAT was off.”
With EquiDuty:
“I approved the period invoices in ten minutes. Everything synced to Fortnox automatically. The accountant had no questions.”
Subscriptions and package management
Beyond one-off invoices, EquiDuty also handles subscriptions — ongoing agreements where the stable member pays a fixed amount per month. Perfect for:
- Stable place contracts with a 3-month notice period
- Lesson packages (10-ride cards, term passes)
- Add-ons like extra feeding or grooming services
The system tracks contract periods, renewals, and cancellations. You do not have to manually stop billing when someone leaves.
