Because the invoice is assembled by hand. Somebody exports time, matches it against the contract, decides what to write off, and types the result — for every client, every month.
The write-offs are the expensive part: decided under time pressure and absorbed into a lower total rather than recorded as write-offs.
Time is logged against the task as work happens rather than reconstructed on a Friday. Rate cards in Books price it, and the invoice is raised from delivered work against the sold lines.

We will run it end to end on your own numbers in half an hour, and tell you honestly which parts Treepie does not improve.
