the
same people), often these amounts are small (a couple of hours) and =
numerous
(spanning a couple of weeks - months)

was a
method of marking an invoice as paid/outstanding, so that at invoice =

such

program like sage for example which would essentially be redundant for =
such
a small business such as mine?
