Afterward, the client will be billed with a payment due date of no later than seven (7) days.

If you have an official Company Logo, then replace the current generic one in Cell A1 with your Company Logo. Similarly, if you are operating under a Company Name, then enter it in Cell A2, making sure to include any required abbreviations. Enter the Full Name of the Freelancer in Cell A3. This is the Name of the individual who has done work for the Client, has sold the Client Merchandise, or both.

4 – Describe The Purchases And Services Provided By The Freelancer

The four columns (A, F, G, and H) in the “Products” table will supply a place to record transactions where a physical item is sold. Describe the Merchandise ordered by the Client in column A (beginning with row 18). You may insert more rows as necessary so long as you make sure each row provides its own report. Report how much Merchandise the Client ordered in the “Quantity” column. In column G of this table, you must document the “Unit Price” of each Product the Client will purchase. As you work, the “Amount” column will determine the total dollar amount the Client owes for the Products listed in each row, the last column will present the total amount the Client owes for all the Products that were ordered.

If the Freelancer intends to bill the Client for the time he or she spent working on the Client’s project, this will have to be indicated as well. First, document the name of the project in the “Description” column. If the Freelancer is billing by shift, then record the Calendar Date being billed for in this column. Report the number of “Hours” billed for each project (or Date) in the second column. You must record the Hourly Rate charged for each project (or each Calendar Date) on each row where work has been reported. The Freelance Hourly Rate should go in the “$/Hour” column. The “Amount” column will multiply the number of “Hours” worked by the Hourly Rate reported on each row then display the product. It will also add all the numbers it contains as a sum in the “Total Labor” cell.

The sum of Total Products and Total Labor will appear in “Subtotal.” Additionally, the “Total” the Client must pay will also appear. You must, however, supply the taxes that must be included in the “Tax” cell.
