Reply to: Most invoices for a single client?

[d000hg]

Frequency of invoices is not that useful because it depends on whether you invoice weekly monthly or quarterly.

What is interesting is the gross amount billed to end client over what period surely?!

I mean five years with one end client grossing Xx a day is the more relevant factor rather than invoice 726

Put up or shut up...

Invoice 726 to same agent, multiple clients.

I hope you get a hamper from your agent every Christmas. Or a car!

I considered doing that but overriding the auto numbering in most accounting systems just leaves it open to mistakes.

I wasn't using an accounting system other than a spreadsheet, but I was pleased to discover this feature waiting for me when I moved to FreeAgent. Nice.

...
Mine are tied to the client so they start at 001 and keep it a secret

144 months supporting an AS400/JBA for 3M after they took over a company I worked for in 1999, £2000 retainer every single month, worked an average 1 hour each month, once went 11 months without logging in as no issues to resolve SAP eventually took over

You win some sort of prize... a box of Jammie Dodgers?!

I started my invoice numbering at 1000 in order to create the transparently false impression that I had already issued 1000 invoices

( With hindsight, I should've started at 1 million - would've been listed by now. )

Who cares about the number of invoices, it's the amount billed that matters

Go on, share that then.

Are we talking about the same client site, the same end client, or the same parent client of multiple end clients?

Same site (well they moved location), same people, various projects for their clients.
I probably could have had work on the same exact project for the last 11 years straight but I couldn't cope with that so I keep leaving then coming back when things are quiet with other clients.

Yes.

e.g. let's imagine you did work for BMW. You do a 6 month project for BMW Powertrain. A few months later you do a contract for Mini. Then one for BMW Financials. Then one for Rolls Royce, and finally one for Motorrad.
They are all BMW, just different divisions.

Most invoices to a single client: 100

I've done 9 years at my current client in various guises, including a long stint on weekly self billing that kept getting cocked up and was a pain in the arse but I got paid the next week

NorthernLadUK would explode if he ever got a good look at that 9 years.

[darmstadt]

Number 67 for the current one in the last 5 years although there are about 25 others during that time period for concurrently run projects with other clients but that is from 255 from when I restarted the numbering system a few years back. I also do separate invoices for expenses so there are a stack of those too.

[vetran]

Think I was on 132 in 4 years about 45 to one client.
