What goes on every invoice
A template only works if you fill it out properly. Here's what to include.
Beyond the template
What happens after you send the invoice
A Word doc handles the invoice itself fine. The hard part is everything after.
You email the PDF. You wait. You email a reminder. The client asks how to pay. You send bank details. The transfer takes four days. You log it in QuickBooks by hand.
Acctual generates the same kind of invoice with a payment link built in. Your client clicks it once and pays by card, bank transfer or stablecoin. Funds reach your account the same day. The transaction syncs to QuickBooks or Xero on its own.

Common questions
What does it cost to use these templates?
The templates are free to download and use. You don't need an account or any payment information.
Can I edit a template after downloading it?
Yes. Open the file in Word, Excel, Pages, Numbers or Google Docs and replace the placeholder text with your own business information and logo.
What format should I send to my client?
We recommend exporting the finished invoice as a PDF before sending. The formatting holds across email clients and the client can't accidentally edit the file.
How do I add my logo?
In Word and Google Docs, replace the placeholder image. In Excel and Google Sheets, use the insert image option from the toolbar. The PDF version has an editable logo slot.
Do I need to charge tax?
It depends on the rules in your jurisdiction and your client's. If sales tax, VAT or GST applies to your work, add it as a line item before the total. Check with your accountant if you're not sure.
What's the difference between a template and Acctual?
A template is a blank document you fill out. Acctual generates the invoice and includes a payment link, automatic reminders, bookkeeping sync to QuickBooks or Xero and same day payouts. Acctual is free to use until a client pays you, at which point we take a small transaction fee.
Can I use these templates as an international freelancer?
Yes. Edit the currency and payment terms to match your setup. If you regularly invoice clients across borders, Acctual supports 135+ currencies and accepts ACH, SEPA and stablecoin payments through a single link.
How fast does Acctual pay out?
Acctual pays out on the same day your client pays. Funds reach your bank account or wallet that day.
