Deals & Finance
Track commercial deals and every payment received against them — installment schedules, retainers, refunds, and collection reports, all rolled up per deal and per client.
Deals & Finance is part of the Finance subscription module. When the module is enabled for your workspace, the Deals item appears in the sidebar under the Finance section.
Deals vs Invoices
A deal is the commercial agreement — the total value you expect to collect and the schedule it will be collected on. An invoice is a billing document for a specific amount. Use deals to answer “how much of this engagement have we actually collected, and what’s overdue?” — and use Invoicing to bill clients document-by-document.

How Payment Tracking Works
- Create a client — the billing entity (company or individual)
- Create a deal for that client with a currency and total value (or leave blank for retainers)
- Add a payment plan — one-time, installments, milestone-based, or recurring
- Record payments as money arrives; they allocate to scheduled installments
- Track collections on the deal’s summary cards and in Deals → Reports
Every deal shows live Received, Outstanding, and Overdue totals, plus a payment status badge (Unpaid / Partial / Paid / Overpaid / Overdue) that updates automatically as payments and refunds are recorded.
Deals connect to the rest of Tickmark: link projects to a deal, set follow-up reminders on it, and record who closed it with team roles.
