Invoicing for agencies

Make agency invoices easier for clients to check. Start from recorded work and arrange the draft around the campaign or billing period.

Free for 14 days — every feature, no credit card, no automatic charge.

From recorded work to a clear bill

Close the month with fewer loose ends.

Your retainer covers agreed campaign work. Review extra requests and project expenses separately before deciding what belongs on the invoice.

  1. Review the retainer

    Check the hours used and the work still due before agreeing more scope.

  2. Find costs to bill

    Review agreed project expenses before they disappear into month-end admin.

  3. Prepare a clear draft

    Combine the fixed fee with agreed extras and review the invoice before sending.

Example monthly invoice draft · Campaign retainer · USD

Agreed monthly retainerFixed fee$6,000.00
Additional work approved by your client5 hours × $150$750.00

Draft subtotal before tax$6,990.00

Fictional example, before tax. Hours covered by the retainer are not billed again. A budget alert does not authorise an extra charge; agree additional work with your client first.

Invoice in minutes, not evenings.

Explain the billing period

Arrange recorded campaign work so your client can recognise what the invoice covers.

Keep approved extras distinct

Review changes your client agreed outside the original retainer.

Check the account before sending

Read descriptions and confirm the invoice recipient for this billing run.

The invoice draft explains your agreement. It does not approve additional campaign scope on the client’s behalf.

Questions about invoicing for agencies

Can I separate extra agency work from the retainer?
You can organise invoice lines with headings and notes. Review which work the retainer already covers before adding anything extra. A clear draft helps explain your agreement; it does not decide scope for you.
Can I charge retainer hours again when I invoice extras?
Check what the fixed retainer already covers. Include only the agreed additional work; tracked hours do not create a second entitlement to payment.
