Frequently asked questions

Accounting services invoice: what should it include?
Start with the line items this template already carries — Monthly bookkeeping, Return filing service, Year-end report — and replace them with what you actually supplied. Then check the required details above, especially the document number and the separated tax amount.
How is tax calculated on this template?
sales tax depends on where the work is supplied, so set the rate that applies to your customer before sending. The editor keeps the net amount, the tax and the total apart, and recalculates all three when you change a quantity, a unit price or the country setting.
How should I number invoices?
Use one unbroken sequence per business, never reuse a number, and issue a credit note rather than deleting an invoice you have already sent.
Is this template free?
Yes. Editing and PDF export are free with an account; there is no payment step and no watermark on the document.
Can I download it as Excel, Word or PDF?
Yes. The spreadsheet and the Word file download straight from this page, and the spreadsheet keeps its formulas, so changing a quantity updates the tax and the total. For PDF, open the template and use Print / PDF.
Can I use it in another language or currency?
Yes. The document language can be set to any of 33 languages, and changing the country setting updates the currency, the date format and the tax rate.
