Invoicing
Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Re-work and email back-and-forth is a productivity drain for you and us.
Getting it right the first time makes a huge difference in productivity, and is a substantial investment into our “relationship bank account” - THANK YOU!
Payment Policy
- Invoices must be submitted by the 1st of each month. If you miss this deadline, you may have to wait until the following month’s cycle to get paid.
- You’ll be paid by the 14th of the month, or the first business day after the 14th if the 14th is on a weekend, provided you’ve submitted your invoice by the 1st.
- Payments from us are possible in these forms:
-
Credit card
-
PayPal
-
Stripe
-
Bank wire transfer
-
Email Money Transfer (if in Canada)
-
Direct Deposit (if in Canada and the frequency/duration of relationship justifies this)
- Fees associated with processing Credit Cards or receiving payment is your cost of doing business. We (Legacy Creative / WildFit / Speaker Nation) pay our own fees when we process our clients' Credit Cards, so it makes sense for our vendors to do the same when we're paying them with our Credit Card.
- Unless stated otherwise, we won't pay you for time you spend learning. We are paying you to be an expert in your domain.
-
If - for example - you are a graphic designer and you don't know how to use a tool in Photoshop, it's up to you to learn on your own time, not billable hours.
-
Your Invoice must be a PDF, ideally with the following filename structure:
-
Your Name - Invoice Number - Services Provided (Graphic Services, Consulting Services, etc) - Month and Year Being Billed
E.g.) ABC Consulting - Invoice 001 - Brand Management - Feb 2021
-
Your invoice must be in English and include all the following elements or else it will be considered incomplete, unpayable, and sent back to you for completion:
-
