How can you get paid faster as a consultant?

💡 Reference the Statement of Work

Include the SOW or contract number in your invoice number or notes field — e.g. 'Per SOW #2024-07'. This eliminates confusion and speeds up accounts payable processing.

💡 Use retainer invoicing

If you charge a monthly retainer, create one line item with the retainer amount and note the service period (e.g. 'Monthly retainer — January 2026'). Clean and simple.

💡 Invoice on a consistent schedule

Send invoices on the same day each month or at each project milestone. Consistent billing trains clients to pay on time and reduces the awkwardness of chasing payments.
