About this template

Clear invoices get paid faster. This template includes the details accounts-payable teams look for: your business and client details, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates, itemized work, subtotal, tax, total and balance due, plus payment instructions and terms.

Every fill-in field is highlighted so you can replace it in minutes, and a removable page of guidance explains what to include and what to check before you hit send. Use the editable document for each new invoice, or print the PDF to fill in by hand.
