Yes. A number of invoicing/accounting platforms can support both cash basis and accrual basis reporting for client billing, though the exact workflow varies.

Common options

  • QuickBooks Online – Strong support for both cash and accrual accounting, with invoicing, AR, A/R aging, and reporting.
  • Xero – Also supports both cash and accrual basis reports and has solid invoicing features.
  • FreshBooks – Good for service businesses and client billing; has cash vs accrual reporting, though it’s more lightweight than QuickBooks/Xero.
  • Zoho Books – Supports both bases, invoicing, expense tracking, and good automation.
  • Sage Accounting – Supports cash/accrual reporting and invoicing, especially for smaller businesses.
  • Wave – Basic invoicing and accounting; best for simpler needs, but less robust for complex accrual workflows.

Important note

Most invoicing tools don’t literally “run” your books in both bases at once. Instead, they:

  • record invoices and payments normally,
  • then generate cash basis or accrual basis reports depending on what you need.

If you need client billing + bookkeeping

Look for:

  • invoice creation
  • payment tracking
  • revenue recognition
  • AR/AP
  • cash/accrual reports
  • integration with your accountant

If you want, I can recommend the best one based on:

  1. your business type,
  2. number of clients,
  3. whether you need subscriptions/retainers,
  4. and whether you’re in the US or another country.
