Yes. I agree with this article. As an accountant, these are the points which we are considering when invoicing.

Great article. Question: I have a friend who’s a software developer and he normally invoices with Net 30 terms but offers a discount if the client pays within 15 days. He also charges a penalty if they go above 30 days. It seems Freshbooks can do that automatically. Do you think the discount and penalties are good ideas for the film industry too?

This is too true.. This is really important and valuable in terms of video production. These terms: Contract and time – are very essential. Not only you make money, you also make good contacts with persons you worked with. You’re making a good name and a good reputation. That’s all I have to say…

It depends on the amount. I think it’s over $350 but please double check that. It also depends if the soccer mom reports your earnings to the IRS. They will typically ask for the W9 if this is the case. It does not hurt to have some type of agreement long or short term. Don’t want to wind up on judge judy.
Thanks

What if, for example, you are just doing some editing for some soccer mom or something…basically non-contract work…do you still need to give her a W9 with the invoice? Do you really need to make every job a contract?
