FAQ

How should I number my invoices?

It is best practice to use a sequential numbering system (e.g., 001, 002) or a date-based system (e.g., 2023-10-01) to keep your financial records organized and easy to track.

What should I do if a payment is late?

First, send a polite follow-up email to the client once the due date has passed. If the payment remains outstanding, refer to your original contract terms regarding late fees or interest.

Should I include tax on every invoice?

Tax requirements depend on your local jurisdiction and the nature of your business. Consult with a tax professional to determine if you are required to collect sales tax or VAT on your services.
