Accounting and invoicing for dog boarding kennels
Overnight stays in the holidays, day care during the week, pick-up service and extras: a boarding kennel has bookings with deposits and peaks in summer and at Christmas. Saldiqo issues deposits, writes final invoices after the stay and bills day care monthly.
