Invoice generator
A clean PDF invoice with your branding. No QuickBooks subscription required.
What this tool does
If you're a solo professional invoicing fewer than 20 clients a year, a full accounting suite is overkill. What you actually need is a clean PDF that has your details, their details, what you did, what they owe, and how to pay. That's a generator, not a subscription.
How to use it
- Enter your business details — name, address, email, optionally a logo.
- Enter the client details.
- Add line items — description, quantity, rate.
- Add payment instructions.
- Download the PDF.
Why it matters
The first invoice is the moment a side project becomes a business. Don't let the lack of an accounting tool be the reason you stall on sending it.
Questions people actually ask.
Is this legally compliant?
For most jurisdictions, yes — a basic invoice with your name, the client's name, what you did, the amount, the date, and an invoice number is sufficient. Specific requirements vary by country (especially VAT/GST regimes). Check your local rules for tax-relevant fields.
How do I number invoices?
Sequentially. INV-001, INV-002, etc. Many jurisdictions require sequential numbering for audit purposes. Don't skip numbers, and don't reset annually unless your accountant tells you to.
What payment methods should I list?
Whichever methods you actually accept. Bank transfer is universal and free. Stripe/PayPal/Wise are good for international clients. Don't list a method you can't process — it confuses the client and delays payment.
