The tools are packed and the job is finished. Before the next visit takes over, capture what the person preparing the invoice will need. That person may be you at the end of the day.
Close the job with clear notes
Record what was completed, what remains open and any approved scope changes. Include relevant quantities or materials and the customer’s outstanding questions. Use the same job reference as the estimate and job brief.
Compare those notes with the approved estimate and payment terms already agreed. Resolve missing details or unapproved changes before treating the invoice as ready.
Separate completed work from pending work
Hypothetical example: a cleaner completes the booked service and an approved oven add-on. The closeout note points to the approval and records both items for invoice preparation. A requested future window clean stays separate because it hasn’t been agreed or completed.
For a repair, capture any agreed materials or quantities while they’re easy to verify. Track the invoice as ready, sent or waiting on a detail. Give any missing detail an owner and a next action. Confirm accounting or tax treatment with the appropriate professional.
