💬  Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in a Business Services invoice?
Client name, what you did, how long it took, what it cost. Add expenses if you covered any. Finish with payment terms. That’s all you need.
When should I switch from templates to software?
As soon as you invoice the same client twice. Software remembers, totals, and saves hours.
How do I invoice for a retainer?
Write the retainer amount, what it covers, and the dates. If it repeats every month, a generator makes it painless. No copy paste mistakes.
When should I ditch templates for a generator?
Use a template for one offs. Use a generator if you invoice the same clients more than once. It remembers. It totals. It saves hours.
What’s the fastest way to send invoices?
Email a PDF. Always. Add due date. Add how to pay. If your client uses a portal, upload it there. Make it easy for them.
Should I add project codes or contract numbers?
Yes. It connects your invoice to the right job. Clients approve faster. You get paid sooner.
