PSA: I was sending invoices on the 1st of the month for years, and it was killing my cash flow.

A client in Seattle finally told me last week that their accounting team doesn't even look at bills until the 15th, so my invoice was just sitting there. I switched to sending mine on the 10th and got paid in 5 days instead of 30. What's the best day you've found to send your invoices?

Read a blog post once that said asking clients about their payment cycle is a game changer. It makes so much sense to just sync up with their schedule instead of guessing. What day works for your main clients?

I mean, is it really that big of a deal? Most of my clients just pay whenever they get the invoice, idk if a specific day matters.
