I am seeing so many invoices or bills come across my desk, on behalf of bookkeeping clients, without proper information on them.

Some important items to include when invoicing clients for your services are: your legal name and/or legal business name and return address, invoice date, invoice #, legal name and/or legal business name of client (can’t collect monies or go to court for non-payment if the name is not legal), GST # and PST # if you are collecting taxes on behalf of government bodies, terms, acceptable forms of payment, payable to information, and interest charges for non-payment of terms if applicable.
