Why you should send professional invoices to your customers
A Google Sheets invoice template combines the best of many worlds. It can automatically figure out complex fee calculations like an Excel spreadsheet, it stores data in the cloud like Google Docs so you can access your invoices anywhere there is internet, and it allows you to create beautifully designed invoices like you can in Word.
As if that’s not enough, it’s also extremely flexible, so it can capture all the details needed to describe your hard work and ensure your clients understand exactly what they are paying for. You’ll have a clear, well-organized, easy-to-understand invoice that reflects positively on your great reputation and builds confidence and credibility in your expertise.
Once you've downloaded your free invoice template, you'll need to customize it to fit your specific business. Here are the 10 key things to include on your invoice:
- Title and Description: Name the project and briefly describe what type of work your client is being invoiced for.
- Company Details: Add your company name, address, phone number, and logo to the top-right corner.
- Customer Details: Under "Bill To", add your customer's name, address, and contact information.
- Invoice Number: Include a unique invoice number to help you track down this invoice in the future. You can format this based on sequence and customer. For example, if you're sending your very first customer their first invoice, the invoice number could be 001-001.
- Dates: Include the date when your invoice has been issued and the date when payment is due.
- Line Item: Add individual line items for each unique good or service you provided. For each line item, include a brief description, quantity, individual unit price, and total price.
- Subtotal: Add up the subtotal of your goods or services, before tax has been applied.
- Tax: Indicate the tax rate applied to the subtotal. This is legally required to provide on invoices, and your rate may differ depending on where you run your business.
- Total: Outline the total amount due from the customer, after tax.
- Notes: Include any additional info your customer should know, including terms of service and payment terms (for example, payments are due 30 days after the invoice has been issued).

When is the right time to send a Google Sheets invoice?
If the customer has purchased a product, invoice at the time of purchase. If they have hired you for your services, you may want to invoice on completion. However, if the project is going to last for a long period of time, use a professional invoice template to calculate a percentage of the cost to be charged upfront, with the remainder being paid upon completion of the project, or send in monthly invoices.
Whatever payment period you decide, make sure it’s clearly noted on each invoice, and clarify what portion of the final ‘cost’ has been paid to date.
