Frequently asked questions
Is this invoice template really free?
Yes. Creating and downloading invoices with FoxyInvoice is free — this template included. Paid plans only add extras like recurring invoices, online payments, and multi-user workspaces.
Do I need to create an account?
No signup is required to start from the template: open it, fill in your details, and download the PDF. An account lets you save clients, track payments, and send invoices by email.
Can I change the line items and prices?
Everything is editable. Add, remove, or reprice line items and the totals — including tax — recalculate automatically.
What should a consulting invoice include?
At minimum: your business name and contact details, the client’s name, an invoice number and date, a payment due date, an itemized list of work (hours × rate or a fixed deliverable price), the total due, and how you accept payment. Itemized hours are the norm in consulting — clients reconcile them against statements of work.
Should consultants charge hourly or fixed-fee?
Hourly suits discovery-heavy or open-scoped work; fixed fees suit well-defined deliverables and are easier for clients to approve. Many consultants mix them: a fixed-fee discovery phase, then hourly for implementation. The template supports both — a line item can be hours × rate or a flat amount.
How do I handle tax on consulting services?
It depends on where you and your client are. Many US states do not tax pure professional services, but some do, and other countries (like the EU and UK) apply VAT to consulting. FoxyInvoice lets you attach a tax jurisdiction to an invoice and computes the tax for you; when in doubt, confirm the rule with your accountant.
