Milestones help you break projects into manageable chunks with clear deliverables and payment triggers.
Why use milestones
- Track progress — See exactly where each project stands
- Trigger payments — Release escrow funds on approval
- Set expectations — Clear deliverables and deadlines
- Build trust — Clients know what they're paying for
Creating milestones

Milestone details
- Title — Clear description of the deliverable
- Amount — Payment for this milestone
- Due Date — When the deliverable is expected

Business Tip: Keep milestones small and frequent. This maintains momentum and improves cash flow.
Approval flow
- You mark a milestone as complete
- The client reviews the deliverable
- The client approves or requests changes
- On approval, funds release from escrow
- An invoice is generated automatically
Business Tip: Always get milestone approval in writing. The client portal makes this seamless.
