Invoicing for your bookkeeper business

Every line in the generator holds a description, a quantity and a unit rate. For a bookkeeping client, put the service and the period in the description, such as monthly bookkeeping for April. Use 1 as the quantity for a fixed monthly fee, or the number of hours for work you bill by the hour, like catching up on old records.

The preview adds a single tax rate to the subtotal. Before you fill in that field, check your state's position on bookkeeping.

Worked example, with sample figures: an April invoice has a monthly bookkeeping line of 1 × $425.00 = $425.00 and a catch-up line of 5 hours × $60.00 = $300.00. The subtotal is $425.00 + $300.00 = $725.00, and with no tax entered the total stays $725.00.

For the wider routine, from agreeing on the fee to following up, see the bookkeeper invoicing guide.

Why Billed fits bookkeeper billing

  • Save the services you bill each month: Billed's invoice software page says you can "save the products and services you sell so you can pull them into an invoice instead of retyping them."
  • Send a monthly fee on a schedule: Billed's invoice software page says "For clients you bill on a schedule, set up a recurring profile once."
  • Spot unpaid invoices quickly: Billed's invoice software page says "Invoice reports show which invoices are paid, partially paid or past due, and you can see who owes you money and send them a payment reminder."

How the bookkeeper invoice generator works

Three steps from blank page to a polished invoice your clients can pay with confidence.

  1. 1

    Enter each service as a line

    Describe the service and its month, then the quantity (1 for a monthly fee, or the number of hours) and your rate. Lines can be added or removed.

  2. 2

    Add tax if it applies

    Fill in the tax percentage only if bookkeeping is taxable where you work; the preview then adds it to the subtotal.

  3. 3

    Open the full generator

    When the lines look right, the Open full generator link goes to Billed's full invoice generator.
