An invoice is a legally recognized commercial document that records a transaction between a buyer and a seller. It lists the goods or services provided, quantities, unit prices, and the total amount owed. A professional invoice includes your business information, the client's details, a unique invoice number, the date of issue, payment due date, and clear payment terms. These elements are not just professional courtesies — many jurisdictions require specific information on invoices for them to be legally valid and tax-deductible.
Invoice numbering creates an auditable trail of all your transactions. A simple sequential system (INV-001, INV-002) works for most freelancers and small businesses. Some businesses use year-prefixed numbers (2026-001) to reset the sequence annually. Consistent numbering makes it easier to reconcile payments, follow up on outstanding invoices, and prepare for tax season. Your accounting software or the client's accounts payable department may also require a unique invoice number to process payment.
Professional Invoicing Tips
Specify payment terms clearly — "Net 30" means payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. "Due on receipt" means immediate payment is expected. If you charge late fees, state them explicitly: "A 1.5% monthly fee applies to balances unpaid after 30 days." Including multiple payment methods (bank transfer, PayPal, credit card) reduces friction and helps you get paid faster. For larger projects, consider milestone-based invoicing rather than a single invoice at the end — it protects your cash flow and reduces the client's risk as well.
