Having an invoice helps you keep track of sales, manage your finances, and know if a customer’s payment is overdue. It also might be necessary for paying taxes later. In order to ensure you get paid, it helps to make your invoice look professional. Key elements of an invoice include contact information, dates, a description of the goods or services provided, and total amount owed. Accounting and invoicing software such as FreshBooks makes it easy to create and send invoices.

Yes, right, it was beneficial to use free templates from different resources such as InvoiceBerry; I used their template, and I was able to customize it according to my business needs directly from the PDF format without having any additional tool to edit the template.

This is beautiful, thank you for your insights and guidance!
I’d like to know however, is it ok to input my business account information to the invoice? Thank you once again!

What if you are going to send an invoice to a customer that’s going to pay with a bank transfer. Should the invoice contain bank details like IBAN?
