Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Virtual assistants commonly bill for remote administrative, technical, creative, marketing, bookkeeping, and customer-support work. Your invoice should show the client who performed the work, what period it covers, which project or support package it belongs to, and the amount due. For hourly work, the invoice should tie each charge to time records that show how long you spent on each client project.
A practical VA invoice starts before the invoice date. Confirm the scope, rate, billing basis, and payment terms before work begins, then carry those details into the invoice. For example, an hourly admin support invoice can list calendar management, inbox cleanup, travel research, and client call notes as separate lines, each with a date range, hours, rate, and short description.
Hourly billing fits VA work that changes week to week, such as inbox management, scheduling, customer replies, data entry, or bookkeeping cleanup. Time records support the invoice because they show the time spent by client project. Keep the description specific enough for review, but short enough for a client to scan without reading a work diary.
Task-based or package billing works better when the deliverable is agreed in advance, such as a monthly social media support package or a fixed set of data-entry records. Upfront payment is also common for some VA clients because it reduces late-payment risk. In that setup, the invoice should state the covered period, package scope, payment due date, and payment method clearly.
The strongest VA invoices remove common payment blockers. Use the correct billing contact, add a purchase order number if the client requires one, state the payment terms, and include every detail needed to pay. A client with internal approval steps can delay payment when the invoice misses a PO, uses the wrong legal name, or lands with the wrong department.
The United States does not use a national VAT or GST invoice regime, and there is no single national sales-tax rate. Sales and use tax obligations depend on state and local rules, nexus, service taxability, and the place of sale. VA services are treated differently by state and service type, so your invoice should follow the client agreement and the tax rules that apply to that sale.
Free invoice creation is enough when you need a single client invoice, a simple package charge, or a one-time hourly bill backed by your own notes. It also works for a new VA engagement where the client has already agreed to scope, rate, terms, and payment method. The finished invoice should stand on its own as a supporting document for income records.
A managed workflow becomes more useful when several clients, assistants, projects, or billing rates are active at once. Everhour can keep billable and non-billable VA work separated through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and reports showing billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost before invoicing.

A VA invoice can list email management, calendar scheduling, phone support, travel arrangements, data entry, online file work, bookkeeping, social media, content, and marketing tasks. Hourly invoices usually need hours and rate by line. Package invoices should name the agreed service bundle, covered period, and included work so the client can match the charge to the agreement.
Hourly billing fits variable support where the workload changes by week or client priority. Package billing fits repeatable work with a defined scope, such as monthly inbox support or content scheduling. The invoice should follow the contract terms already agreed with the client, including rate, payment timing, and any limits on included work.
Invoices in the United States do not follow a national VAT or GST invoice regime. Sales and use tax rules are imposed by state and local jurisdictions. A VA selling taxable services may need state-level sales-tax registration where required, but the tax treatment depends on nexus, the service type, and the place of sale.
The billing contact, purchase order number, payment method, and payment terms cause many avoidable delays. A client that requires a PO can reject or hold an otherwise correct invoice. Add the agreed contact name, client business name, invoice date and number, due date, payment instructions, and project or support package reference.
Late fees are contract-dependent for VA work. They are not a universal rule. A late-fee line should come from the client agreement, and the invoice should state the fee clearly before it is applied. Many VAs reduce late-payment risk through upfront payment, shorter billing cycles, agreed payment dates, direct debit, or clearer payment follow-up.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates, and apply member-rate exceptions. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so VA teams can review client-ready totals before creating an invoice.
Track approved VA work by client and project, separate billable from non-billable time, and use Everhour reporting to invoice with cleaner totals and fewer billing disputes.
