Common consultant questions

Can I invoice a retainer plus hourly services?

Yes. You can include both a retainer line item and hourly work on the same invoice.

Can I add a project name or PO number?

Yes. Use the invoice fields to add project references and any purchase order number required by your client.

Can the invoice include multiple tax rates?

Yes. Each line item can use its own tax rate so your total reflects consulting, expenses, and non-taxable fees correctly.
