Just sent an invoice to a client, but realized I forgot to include some extra charges. Not sure if I should send a revised invoice or just let it slide this time.
It’s a smaller project, but those extra charges do add up. Wondering how other freelancers handle this kind of situation.
Send a revised invoice. No need to overthink it. Just shoot them a quick note saying you missed some charges and here’s the updated total. Happens to everyone now and then.
Keep it professional, but don’t stress about it. Most clients get it as long as you’re straight with them. Just make sure to review invoices more carefully next time before sending them out.
If it’s a repeat client, you could offer to apply the missed charges to the next invoice instead. But for a smaller job, just update this one and move on.
I’d just send a new one. Done it before no problem. Clients get it usually. Not worth stressing over.
I’ve been in this spot more times than I’d like to admit. Here’s what works for me:
Send a new invoice, but keep it casual. Something like, ‘Hey, my bad. Missed a few things on that last invoice. Here’s the updated one.’
I used to stress about it, but most clients are cool if you’re upfront. Just own the mistake and move on.
One trick I’ve picked up: I keep a running list of charges as I work. Makes it harder to forget stuff when it’s invoice time.
And yeah, don’t eat those costs. Small charges add up fast when you’re running your own show. Every dollar counts, right?
Been there, done that. Forgetting charges is part of the freelance fun.
Here’s what I do:
No need to make it a big deal. Most clients get it.
Pro tip: Create a checklist for invoicing. Helps catch those sneaky extras before hitting send.
And yeah, don’t let those charges slide. They add up fast in our line of work. Gotta value your time and effort, even on smaller gigs.
Don’t let it slide. Send a revised invoice with a brief explanation.
It’s your money, and those extra charges matter. Most clients understand if you’re upfront about it.
In the future, double-check everything before hitting send. Saves headaches for everyone.
Ah, invoice mistakes. Happens to all of us. I’d just send a new one with the extra charges. Most folks understand if you’re honest about it. No big deal really.
