An invoice does two jobs: it asks for the money and it documents the work. Keep both — a one-page invoice with the services itemized (not "cleaning — $200") prevents scope arguments and makes repeat clients trust the number.
For recurring clients, send the same invoice template with the date changed; the itemized lines stay as your service record.
Keep going with these tools — they build on this calculation: Cleaning Estimate Calculator, Cleaning Checklist Builder and Restaurant Break-Even Calculator. When your prices look right, print the menu with the Menu Maker — free templates, PDF & PNG. Want us to set the whole system up for you? Ask about concierge setup.
Your business name, the client, the date, each service as its own line with a price, and the total with payment terms ("due on receipt" or net-15). One page is enough.
First-time and one-time cleans: invoice on completion. Recurring clients: invoice on a fixed schedule (first of the month) for the visits that month.
