Templates by industry

  • Consulting session
  • Research and analysis
  • Report delivery

Preparation guide

Separate advisory time from final outputs so additional meetings or a broader report can be identified.

Deliverables and line items
Consulting session, Research and analysis, Report delivery: record the quantities actually supplied and the service period.
Assignment and inputs
Identify the subject, source versions, and the inputs the client will supply with their due dates.
Time and completion basis
State the hourly or fixed-fee basis, meeting allowance, output format and review rounds.
Scope to agree
Link session hours, research subjects and report versions so the same analysis is not charged twice.
  • Check whether meeting preparation and follow-up revisions are included in the fee.
  • Name the person who can approve additional research or a change in scope.
  • Match completed work to the order or approval record, and confirm the payment due date and amounts already received.

  1. Confirm scope and quantities

    Example: reconcile the approval and work record for "Consulting session" to establish the quantity for this invoice.

  2. Record delivery and acceptance

    Check completion for every line, including "Report delivery". Hand over the final report or activity record with the versions of the inputs reviewed.

  3. Send the billing record

    Send the final charges, delivery reference and due date to the customer, then reconcile payment against the invoice number.
