Why snow removal professionals should send professional invoices
Snow removal is critical work. You help people stay safe so they can carry on with their day in even the snowiest of conditions. You need an invoice that clearly details the amount of work you put in, as well as your expertise in snow removal.
That means your invoice needs to be flexible enough to capture the specific requirements of each job, while being clear and understandable so your customers know exactly what they are paying for.
Every point of contact with your customer reflects on the quality of the work you provide – so make sure your polished and professional invoice adds to your outstanding reputation.
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 an invoice to your snow removal customers?
It's best to send your invoice as soon as you finish the snow removal job. If it is a particularly large project that is going to take several days, some snow removal professionals ask for a percentage of the cost up front, with the remainder on completion of the project. If you are on retainer, you may want to invoice bi-weekly or monthly. As an independent snow removal business owner, you have materials to buy and equipment to maintain, so you need to keep the revenue coming in as fast as that snow is falling.
