Built for real service work

This template works for solo freelancers and lean teams alike. Use it as-is, then send it through Nudge for payment links and automatic follow-up.

What to include

  • Your business name, address, and contact email
  • Client company name and billing contact
  • Unique invoice number for your records
  • Engagement dates (not just the invoice date)
  • Line items broken out by deliverable or day rate
  • Payment terms (Net 15 is standard for consulting)
  • Your preferred payment methods
  • Late fee policy if applicable

Pro tips for consulting invoices

  • 1. Break out deliverables into separate line items — it removes billing disputes.
  • 2. Always include the engagement dates, not just the invoice date.
  • 3. Net 15 or Net 14 is standard for consulting. Avoid Net 30 if you need cash flow.
  • 4. A brief scope summary at the top of the invoice helps clients match it to the project immediately.
Send it through Nudge
