Quick answer:This financial advisor invoice bills a client for an advisory fee and planning sessions. The fee basis block records the advisory agreement, the accounts included, the asset value used and the annual fee rate. The advisory fee line multiplies a stated asset value by a quarterly rate (1,240,000.00 × 0.25% = 3,100.00 in the sample), and planning sessions are billed by the hour, for an amount due of 3,600.00 with no tax line. It comes as Word and Excel files with sample details and a blank PDF. The page explains how to show a percentage-of-assets, flat or hourly fee that the advisor sets in the advisory agreement.

What this financial advisor invoice is for

This template bills a client for financial advice: an advisory fee for the billing period and any planning sessions, with the basis for each fee shown on the invoice so the client can check the figures. The fee basis is yours to set in your advisory agreement, whether that's a percentage of a stated asset value, a flat fee or an hourly rate. The invoice repeats it; it doesn't decide it.

The invoice has:

  • Advisor: business name, address, and phone or email.
  • Invoice details: invoice no., invoice date, payment terms, due date and billing period.
  • Bill to (client): client name, address and email.
  • Fee basis: advisory agreement, accounts included, asset value used and annual fee rate.
  • Advisory fee: a table with Item, Details, Asset value, Period, Quarterly rate and Amount.
  • Planning sessions: a table with Item, Details, Qty, Unit, Rate and Amount, and a "Planning sessions subtotal".
  • Totals: Subtotal and Amount due. There's no tax line.
  • How to pay: accepted methods, account name, bank details and a payment reference.
  • Fee notes that explain how the fee was worked out.

It comes as three files:

  • Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx): filled with a sample invoice for you to overwrite.
  • PDF: a blank form to print and fill in by hand.

The sample invoice

The sample is invoice FA-1042 from Example Financial Planning LLC to Robin and Lee Example, dated Oct 1, 2026, on Net 30 terms with a due date of Oct 31, 2026. It bills the quarter it covers, Oct 1 to Dec 31, 2026.

  • Asset-based advisory fee: an asset value of 1,240,000.00, as of Sep 30, 2026, at a quarterly rate of 0.25% (an annual rate of 1.00%, billed quarterly) = 3,100.00.
  • Retirement income planning session on Oct 14, 2026: 1.5 hours at 200.00 = 300.00.
  • Cash-flow and budget review on Nov 4, 2026: 1 hour at 200.00 = 200.00, for a planning sessions subtotal of 500.00.

That makes a subtotal of 3,600.00, and the amount due is 3,600.00. All figures are sample values, not suggested fees.

Setting the fee basis

Each fee basis has its own place on the template:

  • A percentage of assets. Fill in "Asset value used" and "Annual fee rate" under Fee basis. On the advisory fee line, enter the asset value, the period and the rate for that period. The sample's annual 1.00% is billed quarterly, so the line uses a quarterly rate of 0.25%.
  • A flat fee. As the template's fee note says: "For a flat quarterly fee, replace the asset-based line with one line for the agreed amount."
  • An hourly fee. List each session or piece of work under Planning sessions, with the date in Details, the hours in Qty and your hourly rate.

You can use more than one, as the sample does with an asset-based fee and hourly planning sessions. Keep each on its own line, so the client can see what each part of the invoice is for.

Showing how an asset-based fee is worked out

An asset-based fee depends on which value you use, which accounts it covers and when you take the value. The template gives each of these a field:

  • Accounts included: the accounts the fee covers, by name or the last 4 digits of each account number.
  • Asset value used: the value and the date it was taken. The sample uses the value on Sep 30, 2026.
  • Advisory agreement: a reference to the agreement and its date, so the client can find the terms.

The sample's fee notes are labeled as sample terms: "the annual advisory fee is 1.00% of the asset value on the last business day of the prior quarter, billed quarterly at 0.25%", and "this fee is billed to the client and is not deducted from the accounts". Replace them with what your own agreement says, including whether you bill at the start or the end of the period.

Filling in the figures

In the Excel file:

  • The advisory fee amount is the asset value × the quarterly rate, rounded to the cent. Enter the rate as a percentage, such as 0.25%. The rate cell shows two decimal places.
  • Each planning session amount is Qty × Rate, and the "Planning sessions subtotal" adds them up.
  • The Subtotal adds the advisory fee lines and the planning session lines, and the Amount due equals the Subtotal.
  • Each table has one blank row at the end for another line.

The file's tip says: "The subtotal and amount due are formulas. Don't delete these rows: the totals refer to them."

In the Word file, the amounts are typed, not calculated, so retype them when you change a figure. The PDF is blank, so fill in every amount by hand. We haven't tested the files in Excel or Word.

Payment details

Under How to pay, the sample lists "Bank transfer, ACH or check", with blanks for the account name and bank details, and "Invoice FA-1042" as the payment reference. Asking the client to quote the invoice number, as the footnote does, helps you match each payment to its invoice.
