Customer Ledger That Shows Every Client’s Full Balance at a Glance
See what each client owes, what they’ve paid, and their complete transaction history without digging through old invoices to piece it together.
What Is a Customer Ledger?
A customer ledger is a running record of every invoice, payment, and balance for a single client, so you can see what they owe and what they’ve already paid without opening each invoice individually. BillNama updates a ledger automatically every time you send an invoice or receive a payment, giving you one running total per client.
Customer ledger vs. invoice vs. report: an invoice is one bill; a customer ledger is the running history of all of a client’s invoices and payments combined; a report summarizes ledgers across your whole business. BillNama keeps all three connected.

What is a customer ledger?
A customer ledger is a running record of every invoice, payment, and balance for a single client, so you can see what they owe and what they’ve already paid in one place.
How is a customer ledger different from an invoice?
An invoice is one bill for one job. A customer ledger combines all of a client’s invoices and payments into a single running balance and history.
Does the ledger update automatically?
Yes. Every invoice you send and every payment you record updates the client’s ledger instantly, with no manual entry needed.
Can I see a client’s full payment history?

Can I filter or search my customer ledger?
Yes. Search or filter your client list to quickly find any client’s balance and history, even with a large client base.
Is Customer Ledger free on BillNama?
Yes. Customer Ledger is unlimited on the free forever plan, with no credit card required — unlike invoices, quotations, and proforma invoices, which have their own monthly limits.

Yes. You can export or share a client’s statement whenever they ask for a summary of their account.
Can I see outstanding balances across all clients at once?

Does the ledger work with multiple currencies?
