Important disclaimer: This product is for educational and organizational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. Sample invoice fields, agreement outlines, and payment-term suggestions are general templates — not a lawyer-prepared contract for your situation. Laws and CRA rules vary by province and facts and change over time. Do not treat this pack as a substitute for advice from a qualified Canadian lawyer or accountant. No warranty is given that use of these materials will create an enforceable agreement, ensure payment, or produce any particular legal or tax outcome.
FAQ
Who is this for? New freelancers about to send a first invoice or scope to a client and wanting it to look clear and professional without legal jargon.
What's inside? A PDF with a first-client checklist, invoice template, scope-of-work worksheet, a simple agreement outline to discuss with your client, a payment-terms menu (deposit, net-15/30, late-fee wording options), and polite follow-up scripts for quiet invoices — plus an invoice-log spreadsheet and simple client list.
Can I use it for deposits, rush fees, or scope changes? Yes — the scope worksheet and payment-terms menu give you wording to agree on these up front, which is when they're easiest to set.
Is the agreement outline a legal contract? No. It's a discussion starter; have a lawyer review anything binding.
