Just sent an invoice to a client and realized I made a mistake. Wondering if it’s possible to modify it now. Anyone dealt with this before? Worried about looking unprofessional, but also don’t want to let the error slide. Not sure how to approach this without ruffling feathers.
Happens to me sometimes. Just fix it and send it again.
No need to make a big deal. Most folks understand.
Maybe double-check next time before sending. Saves some hassle.
Absolutely. Mistakes happen when you’re handling everything yourself.
Send a quick email with the corrected invoice. Keep it brief and honest.
I’ve done this a few times. Most clients are fine with it, as long as you’re upfront.
Just make sure to double-check your invoices in the future to avoid repeat corrections.
Been there, done that. Mistakes happen, especially when you’re juggling everything solo.
Here’s what I’d do:
- Act fast. The quicker you catch it, the better.
- Send a brief, honest email explaining the error.
- Attach the corrected invoice.
Most clients are cool if you’re upfront. They’re human too.
If it’s a big change, maybe hop on a quick call to smooth things over.
Don’t sweat it too much. We all slip up sometimes. Just own it and move on.
Yeah, I’ve been in this spot before. It’s not ideal, but it happens.
I usually send a quick email saying something like, ‘Hey, I noticed a small error on the invoice I sent. I’ve attached an updated version. Sorry about that!’
Most clients are pretty understanding. They know we’re not big corporations with fancy systems.
If it’s just a typo, I might let it slide. But for anything that affects the total, I always send a correction.
One time I forgot to add a whole project to an invoice. Talk about embarrassing. But the client actually thanked me for catching it. Goes to show honesty pays off.
Just don’t make a habit of it. If you’re sending corrections often, might be time to double-check your process.
Sure, you can change it. Happens to everyone once in a while.
Send them a quick email with the updated invoice. Keep it short: ‘Found a mistake on the invoice. Here’s the corrected one.’
Most clients are fine with it if you’re straight up. Just don’t make it a habit.
If it’s a big change, might want to call them. Explain what happened, apologize, move on.
Double-check your invoices before sending from now on. Saves headaches for everyone.
