Invoicing Tips for Tradies

You would rather be on site than in front of a laptop. Fair enough. A tight invoice still gets you home earlier because you are not answering the same questions three times. Payment examples below lean Australian; plug in your local bank fields if you are elsewhere.

Make It Clear and Simple

Vague line items are where jobs get argued. At minimum put on the page:

• Client name and job site address
• Date the job was completed
• Clear breakdown of work done and materials used
• Total cost and payment deadline

Use Quotes to Set Expectations

A quote in writing before you start saves you when someone “thought it was included.” BillBench^™ lets you flip the same job into an invoice when you are ready.

Include Photos for Peace of Mind

Before and after photos help with picky clients, strata, and insurance jobs. BillBench^™ can attach them to the quote or invoice so the record travels with the PDF.

Offer Easy Payment Options

Put the ways you actually take money on the invoice:

• Bank transfer (include BSB and account number)
• PayID or credit card
• Cash on job (if applicable)

Look More Professional

One-person shop or not, a tidy PDF with your logo and ABN reads like you have your act together. Add a signature in BillBench^™ if you want that extra bit of polish.
