MyInvois for professional services

Time-billed, milestone-billed, retainers: every billing model compliant.

Professional services in Malaysia (consulting, legal, design, accounting, engineering) bills in a dozen different ways: time-based, milestone, retainer, fixed-fee, contingency. MyInvois Bridge handles every billing pattern with the same LHDN-compliant pipeline. Your invoicing rhythm stays yours; the LHDN side becomes invisible.

The professional-services reality

Three patterns every services firm runs into.

  1. 01

    Time-billing tools don't speak MyInvois

    Time-billing tools generally need an adapter for MyInvois. Use manual entry or the REST API today; direct CSV import is coming soon.

  2. 02

    Retainers + milestones need structured handling

    A retainer invoice and a milestone invoice are both type-01 to LHDN, but your reconciliation depends on knowing which is which. The bridge's customer catalog + product catalog let you tag every invoice with the contract-line context for clean year-end reporting.

  3. 03

    Reimbursable expenses complicate the line items

    Pass-through expenses (flights, hotels, third-party software) ride on the same invoice as your professional fees but carry different tax treatment. The bridge's tax-category-per-line-item model handles this without forcing a separate invoice.

How the bridge fits

Three patterns services firms settle into.

  • Time-billing CSV import (coming soon)

    Direct time-billing CSV import is coming soon. Today, use manual entry or transform source data and submit through the REST API.

  • Retainer vs. milestone tagging

    Keep contract references in your source data and retain the LHDN UUIDs returned for submitted invoices. Activity-log filtering is coming soon and is not available today.

  • Per-line tax categories

    Professional fee lines carry your standard tax category; reimbursable-expense lines carry zero-rated or exempt categories as appropriate. The bridge validates per-line tax assignment before submission.
