What is a milestone payment?
A milestone payment bills a portion of a project when a defined stage is finished, instead of all at once. It's a friendly way to keep cash flowing on longer engagements.

Not every hour goes on a client's invoice. Mark what's billable so admin time stays off the bill but still shows in your reports.

Track a project from deposit to delivery
Follow one job end to end — approved estimate, deposit in, work on the board, final invoice out — so you always know where money and work stand.

Got paid by wire, ACH, or a paper check outside Fee-Lion? Log it against the invoice so your books and the client's balance both stay right.
