InvioMake an invoice

Pick an invoice number you won’t regret in six months

The best sequence is boring: unique, readable and easy to continue. A prefix plus a padded number works for many solo businesses.

Start with a plain sequence

INV-0001, INV-0002 and INV-0003 sort properly and leave room to grow. Don’t put private client information in the number.

If you include the year

A format such as INV-2026-001 can help with filing. Decide whether the final counter resets in January, then use the same rule every time.

Correct mistakes without creating a duplicate

Keep a record of the original number and follow the accounting rules that apply to your business. Local requirements differ, so this page isn’t legal or tax advice.

Invoice payment terms people can act on

Good payment terms answer two questions without making the client hunt: when is the money due, and how should they send it?
