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.
