Frequently asked questions
How do accountants bill a monthly retainer?
Add a single "Monthly bookkeeping" line at the agreed fee and reissue the invoice each month with a new date and number. Keep line items consistent so the client always knows what to expect.
How do I bill year-end and tax work?
List year-end accounts, tax return preparation and filing as separate lines. Some practices roll them into one annual fee — invoice44 supports either approach.
Can I pass through filing fees?
Yes — add Companies House and other statutory fees as separate "Disbursement" lines so the client sees they are reimbursements, not your fee.
Should I take payment up front?
For one-off work, a deposit invoice up front protects you. For retainers, bill at the start of the period the work covers.
