The consultant invoice template is for any type of professional that gives their expert opinion on a specific subject matter. A consultant is generally hired on a per hour basis with some requiring a minimum set of hours that are billed in advance. When hours are sold as a block, the consultant will work on the project until the client is out of time. Once the hours are depleted, the client will be required to purchase a new set of hours or stop working with the consultant.

The Invoice Number and the Invoice Date associated with this transaction must be presented here. An area labeled “Invoice #” and one labeled “Date” near the center of this page have been included for this purpose.

4 – Describe All The Billable Services Provided
The Consultant’s time will have to be reported in order to bill for it. The next section of this document will allow you to provide such documentation easily. Begin with the “Hours” column by entering how long the Consultant spent working on a Client’s project. Then, input the project name or “Description” in the second column and document how much money per hour the Consultant must be paid in the “$/Hour” column.
The next step in this report will be to calculate the product of “Hours” times “$/Hour” then, report it in the last column “Amount.”
This column will extend into three additional fields or boxes. Use the first of these fields (“Subtotal”)to present the sum of each row’s reported “Amount” and the field below this to display how much “Tax” must be paid for the amount you placed in “Subtotal.”
The last field in this column must be the sum of the “Subtotal” field and the “Tax” field. Enter this figure in “Total.”
5 – The Total Dollar Amount Owed Should Be Presented
Naturally, the Client must be informed of any additional charges and the Total Dollar Amount that must be paid to the Consult Agency to satisfy this Invoice. This means you must enter the applicable “Tax” to this Invoice in the field under the “Subtotal” you provided then present the sum of these two values in the last box (“Total”).
6 – The Consultation Client Should Be Informed Of Any Applicable Deadline Or Instructions
The Consult Agency may wish to inform the Client when a payment is expected to be made. This time frame can be defined as a number of days from the receipt (by the Client) of this paperwork. In this case, input the maximum number of days allotted to the Customer to make an on-time payment.
The Client may require some instructions or the Consultant may wish to add comments to this Invoice. If so, then present such additions to the blank lines labeled “Comments Or Special Instructions”
