Create billing profiles for each of your services: Hourly rates, block hours rates or comprehensive package rates
If you offer a package, hourly rates, or in blocks hours rates, set up is relatively the same for each type.
👍 Tip: Invoices only ever go to the Parent contact.
In the student record bio banner, open contacts. Review the student parent information.
There is a parent/family icon on each contact line. When the icon is green, that parent will receive communications, when it is grey the contact will not receive communications.
Follow our example:
This is a 10 Hour Block Package for $1000
First, create the Billing Profile for this type of profile. It is a block of hours.
Go to Settings > Accounting Setup > Add Billing Profile
Click the plus (+) sign
- Title the block hour profile
- From the drop down, select : Block of Hours
- Enter the # of hours
- Enter the cost
- Click submit
.
This package is now available from any student record, Accounting tab.
- Goto a student record Accounting tab
- Click the Round blue button
Click Add Time >- (enter time) > Select your example package from drop down > type in a purpose note > and save
Bill a Client for a Block of Hours Package
Follow our example:
This is a 10 Hour Block Package for $1000
You meet with a client for 1 hour.
The client chose the 10 hour block package for $1000.
It's time to update your Accounting and email the billing statement to the parent.

You have now charged the client for the hour block package
By entering 1 hour, you have also applied the first hour of the package, against the package. If the hour block was 10 hours, the client now has 9 hours left.
(If you do not want to charge the 1st hour against block, begin with zero for the time spent)
The green box will show the countdown of hours used.

☠️ Warning:
In the Accounting tab, by line item view, notice the parent/family icon to the far right of each Accounting line item.
As it is elsewhere in the CounselMore tool - it is true here: Green means Show. Grey means No.
If the parent/family icon isn't green it will not be visible to the client.
The parent/family icon of each line item must be turned green for the client to see the line item on the invoice.
