Chimney Sweep Invoicing Software
Chimney sweep invoicing software that gets you paid before you leave the roof.
A chimney business bills everything from a quick inspection to a full reline, and a notepad full of scribbled charges loses money on every one of them. Bella FSM builds one clean invoice that lists labor, materials, flat-rate services, and trip fees together, then lets the customer pay by card on your tablet while you are still on site. No paper to chase, no totals to redo at the kitchen table.

What is chimney sweep invoicing software?
Chimney sweep invoicing software is what a chimney or fireplace company uses to bill a finished job from the field instead of a carbon-copy pad. One bill holds the hourly labor, the flat-rate sweep, the liner and cap materials, and the trip fee. You take a deposit before you order stock, run the customer's card at the door, and the open balance stays on the books until it clears.
Owner-operator sweeps
For a one-truck operation, the bill gets built, signed, and paid at the customer's door. Nothing gets rebuilt from a notepad at the kitchen table three days later.
Multi-truck chimney sweep outfits
For a larger outfit, every crew bills the same way, deposits on relines are taken before the liner stock is ordered, and the office sees every open balance in one list.
Bella FSM is chimney sweep invoicing software built for exactly that range. One truck to a multi-crew company. Start on a 14-day free trial with no credit card and have your first invoice out the same afternoon.
More than half of small businesses are owed money on invoices, an average of $17,500 apiece, and 47% are carrying bills past 30 days. 2026 State of Small Field Service Businesses

Where chimney sweep invoicing goes wrong on paper
Where a notepad and a calculator cost a sweep real money.
The reality
No two chimney jobs bill the same
- A morning Level 1 inspection bills under a hundred dollars
- An afternoon reline can run several thousand
- One invoice may mix labor, liner, caps, and a trip fee
- Masonry and crown repairs span more than one visit
- Annual cleanings repeat for the same customers each fall
What goes wrong
Handwritten invoices leak revenue
- The liner and caps get billed, the travel fee gets forgotten
- Big relines go out the door with no deposit collected
- The invoice sits in the truck for a week before it is sent
- Sales tax gets eyeballed and comes up short at filing time
- Nobody knows which last-spring jobs are still unpaid
With Bella FSM
Every charge captured on site
- Labor, materials, flat rates, and trip fees on one invoice
- Collect a deposit before reline materials are ordered
- Build and send the invoice the moment the job ends
- Tax and markups calculate from settings you set once
- Every open balance tracked, with reminders sent for you
Built for chimney sweeps
Fireplace contractor invoicing software that understands a chimney job.
A sweep bills a hundred-dollar inspection in the morning and a four-thousand-dollar reline in the afternoon. The same bill has to hold the caps, the mortar, and the drive out to the property, and nobody should be rebuilding it by hand on Friday night.
Mixed Line Items
Put hourly labor, flat-rate cleanings, liner and cap materials, equipment charges, and a trip fee on a single invoice. Each line reads clearly for the homeowner and reconciles cleanly for your books.
Estimate to Invoice in One Click
Turn an approved estimate into an invoice without rebuilding a single line. The customer accepts the estimate, you bill straight from it, and nothing gets re-keyed or mistyped along the way.
Deposits & Partial Payments
Take a deposit before ordering liner or masonry materials, then collect progress payments as a multi-day reline moves along. Every payment posts against the running balance automatically.
Field Invoicing & Signatures
Build, present, and send the invoice from your phone or tablet the minute the flue is swept. Capture the customer's signature on the device and let them pay before you pack up the truck.
Stripe Payment Links
Every invoice carries a secure Pay Now link powered by Stripe. Homeowners tap, enter a card, and pay on the spot or later from their phone. No card reader to carry and no awkward follow-up calls.
AR Tracking & Reminders
See every outstanding balance in one accounts-receivable view and let Bella FSM send automated reminders on overdue invoices. Two-way QuickBooks sync keeps the office books matched without double entry.

Flexible Pricing Start Free Trial
Flat-rate and hourly pricing on one chimney sweep invoice
A standard sweep and inspection is a flat rate you quote in your sleep. A crown rebuild or an unexpected liner repair is hourly, plus materials. Bella FSM lets you save your common flat-rate services and bill labor by the hour on the same invoice, so your pricing matches the work instead of the other way around.

Start Free Trial Frequently Asked
Chimney sweep invoicing questions, answered.
Can one invoice handle both a flat-rate cleaning and hourly repair work?
Yes. A single Bella FSM invoice can combine a flat-rate service like a sweep and inspection, hourly labor for an unexpected liner repair, material lines for caps or mortar with your markup, and a separate trip or travel fee. Each item shows as its own line so the homeowner sees exactly what they are paying for and your totals add up correctly.
How do I collect a deposit on a large reline or masonry job?
For bigger jobs you can request a deposit before you order liner stock or masonry materials, then bill progress payments as the work moves along. Each payment posts against the running balance, and Bella FSM sends the final invoice for the remainder once the job is signed off. That way you are not floating the cost of materials out of your own pocket on a multi-day reline.
Can my customer pay the invoice on the spot from my phone or tablet?
Yes. You build and present the invoice from the field, capture the customer's signature right on the device, and every invoice carries a secure Pay Now link powered by Stripe. The homeowner can enter a card while you are still on site, or pay later from the same link on their own phone. You can also record a cash or check payment in seconds if they prefer.
Does Bella FSM sync with QuickBooks for my chimney business?
It does. Bella FSM offers two-way QuickBooks sync, so invoices, customers, and payments move between your field billing and your accounting books without anyone re-keying them. That keeps your office records matched to what happened in the field and saves the double entry that creates errors at filing time.
How does the software keep me from forgetting unpaid invoices?
Every invoice you send is tracked in an accounts-receivable view that shows which balances are open, partially paid, or overdue. Bella FSM can send automated reminders on past-due invoices for you, and each invoice stays tied to the customer and job it belongs to. So a busy fall season no longer buries the jobs that are still waiting to be paid.
Is a chimney sweep invoice template enough, or do I need invoicing software?
A chimney sweep invoice template works right up until the second truck or the first reline deposit. A blank template cannot pull labor and liner costs off a finished work order, cannot tell you what is still owed in November, and cannot take a card at the door. Bella FSM builds the same itemized bill, then follows the money until it clears.
