Chasing late payments shouldn’t consume hours of your week. But when you are juggling disconnected systems, from accounting apps to spreadsheets, getting a clear view of outstanding invoices is nearly impossible. The result is cash flow uncertainty and delayed follow-up on overdue accounts.
HubSpot’s built-in invoice reporting tools let you monitor receivables directly in the CRM. When configured correctly, you can track unpaid invoices, aging balances, and payment trends without switching between systems.
This guide explains how to access and use HubSpot invoice reports to create a functional Accounts Receivable (AR) dashboard.
You will see where invoice data lives, how it links to deals and payments, and the steps needed to build a dashboard your team can trust to monitor and act on receivables.
How HubSpot Tracks Billing Performance with Invoice Reports
HubSpot invoice reports provide visibility into billing performance within the CRM. Once your account is connected to HubSpot Payments or integrated with QuickBooks, Xero, or Stripe, invoices sync automatically and can be analyzed natively.
To access invoice reports:
- Go to Reports > Reports > Create Report > Single Object > Invoices.
- The invoices object includes fields such as Amount, Issue Date, Due Date, Payment Status, Associated Deal or Company, and Owner.
These fields let you view totals, aging buckets, and unpaid balances per customer. Combining invoices with deal or company objects reveals patterns across sales territories, pipeline stages, and customer types.
HubSpot also supports automation. You can trigger notifications for overdue balances or assign follow-up tasks when clients miss payment deadlines.
How It Works Inside HubSpot
Invoice records in HubSpot function like standard CRM objects. Each invoice can link to companies, contacts, or deals. HubSpot Payments automatically syncs invoices, while integrations from external accounting platforms require mapping verification.
Key invoice properties for your AR dashboard include:
- Invoice Amount
- Due Date
- Payment Status (Pending, Overdue, Paid)
- Issued Date
- Associated Company
- Owner (HubSpot user)
Filters like Payment Status = Overdue or Due Date before Today help you focus on accounts requiring immediate action. Because invoices link directly to deals and contacts, finance data is anchored to real customer relationships.
Main Uses Inside HubSpot
HubSpot invoice reporting is more than finance tracking. It connects the billing cycle with customer management, improving collaboration between finance, sales, and RevOps teams.
Monitoring Outstanding Receivables
An AR dashboard should answer one key question: what is still unpaid?
Example:
Filtering invoices by overdue payments shows six clients with a combined $85,000 in unpaid invoices, organized into aging tiers (0–30 days, 31–60 days, 61+ days). You can immediately prioritize follow-ups.
Aligning Sales Teams on Collections
Sales reps often lack visibility on post-close payment status. Adding invoice reports to a shared dashboard gives reps insight into which accounts are overdue.
Example:
If a rep has multiple overdue invoices tied to a single client, it signals the need for proactive action before renewal discussions.
Tracking Payment Trends and Collections Performance
Time-based reports reveal patterns in invoice payment behavior.
Example:
If Q1 invoices show an average delay of nine days past the due date, your team can adjust contract terms or payment reminders accordingly.
Connecting Revenue and Customer Behavior
Invoices linked to deals allow deeper analysis of pipeline and payment patterns.
Example:
A RevOps analyst may identify that invoices from one pipeline consistently pay late. Leadership can then review contract language or onboarding workflows to reduce missed payments.
Common Setup Errors and Wrong Assumptions
Avoid these missteps when configuring invoice reporting:
- Missing Invoice Associations: Ensure each invoice is linked to a company or deal, or it won’t appear in combined reports.
- Confusing Deal Amount with Invoice Amount: Always use the Invoice Amount field for AR reporting.
- Excluding Partially Paid Invoices: Include these to avoid incomplete insights.
- Formatting Issues with Dates: Ensure dates are in the proper date format, not text, to enable accurate filtering.
Step-By-Step Setup Guide
Step 1: Access HubSpot Reporting
Navigate to Reports > Reports > Create Report > Single Object > Invoices.
Step 2: Select Relevant Properties
Include fields like Invoice Number, Amount, Issue Date, Due Date, Payment Status, Associated Company, and Owner.
Step 3: Configure Filters
Apply filters such as:
- Payment Status = Overdue or Unpaid
- Due Date before Today
- Issue Date within Last 90 Days
Step 4: Create Calculated Fields
For AR aging, create a Days Outstanding property:
Days Outstanding = Today’s Date – Due Date
Step 5: Group and Summarize
Group by Company or Owner and summarize invoice totals to see outstanding balances per entity.
Step 6: Visualize the Data
Use tables for details and bar or pie charts to visualize totals by status or sales rep.
Step 7: Save to Dashboard
Add the report to your Accounts Receivable Dashboard.
Step 8: Customize Dashboard Layout
Place urgent metrics, like Overdue Invoices Total, at the top. Include views for Receivables by Company, Average Days Outstanding, and Upcoming Invoices.
Step 9: Set Global Filters and Access
Add filters for Company, Owner, and Status. Share the dashboard with finance and RevOps teams.
Step 10: Automate AR Follow-Up (Optional)
Use HubSpot Workflows to assign tasks for invoices overdue by five days or more. This prevents accounts from slipping through the cracks.
Measuring Results in HubSpot
Track key AR metrics over time to evaluate cash flow and collections efficiency:
- Total Receivables: Current unpaid balance across clients
- Average Collection Days: Time from invoice to payment
- Overdue Invoice Count: Number of late invoices affecting cash flow
- Receivables by Owner or Customer: Identify reps or clients with recurring delays
- Monthly Payment Trends: Monitor overdue totals over time to ensure improvement
Quarterly export of invoice records enables comparison between CRM-reported data and cash flow forecasts, helping keep forecasts accurate.
Short Example That Ties It Together
A RevOps manager at a mid-size SaaS company connects QuickBooks to HubSpot. Invoices now sync with corresponding deals and accounts.
- The manager creates a report filtered for overdue invoices, grouped by company, showing $42,350 unpaid.
- They add a Days Outstanding calculation to track aging.
- The report is saved to an Accounts Receivable Dashboard, alongside Upcoming Invoices Due in 14 Days.
Within two months, the average overdue time drops from 18 days to 12. Collections accelerate, and cash flow becomes more predictable.
