How to customize your business consultant invoice template like a pro

First things first, you need to pick a consulting invoice template that matches your consulting services and customize it to fit your branding. When you’re happy with it, you can go ahead and plug in your business and client info, including:

  • The invoice number, based on your invoice numbering system (like 001 or #1)
  • Your business information and logo
  • Your client’s information
  • The date you send the invoice, and the date payment is due
  • An explanation of all services included
  • The cost of each service
  • Any business taxes or discounts you’re offering
  • Any extra information your clients need to successfully pay the invoice (like where to go)

Once you’ve entered the relevant information, you can hit send. The invoice will be added to HoneyBook’s online client portal, where your clients can pay it directly with a debit or credit card. And, to save you some extra time, HoneyBook will automatically email your clients to let them know they have a new invoice available.

Why do business consultants need online invoices?

Get paid fast

HoneyBook eliminates issues by allowing you to send invoices online and letting your clients pay them in a secure client portal. If clients look like they're dragging their feet, HoneyBook sends out invoice reminder emails automatically, to keep your bill top-of-mind.

Deliver a personalized client experience

Using generic templates can take away from personalization and make your clients feel like an afterthought. HoneyBook allows you to create branded invoices quickly, and share them in a similarly branded client portal. This means all of your client touch points will be aligned with your branding and perfectly tailored to your clients.

Simplify taxes, discounts & installments

By simply checking a few boxes and clicking a button, HoneyBook will do all the math for you. And if you want to break up your payments into installments, you can do so with a few clicks, too.

Spend your time consulting

HoneyBook is here to make sure you can spend more time on consulting by providing custom business consultant invoice templates, sending automatic payment reminders, and processing payments for you.
