The invoice has to show each event, with the date, what you did and what it cost, so a property manager or homeowner can match it to the storm.

Per event shares the risk with the customer, while seasonal gives them a predictable cost and you a steady cash flow. Many commercial contracts mix them, with a seasonal base and per-push fees above an accumulation threshold. Add-ons are salt, ice melt, sidewalk work, and snow stacking or hauling. Bill these separately so the customer can see what they pay for. Seasonal contracts are usually billed in monthly instalments, which suits [recurring invoices](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/recurring-invoices) and takes little effort once set up. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. Keep a log with date, time and photos for every visit. Commercial clients ask for proof, especially after a slip-and-fall claim. 2. State the trigger depth in your contract and on the invoice, such as 2 inches, to avoid disputes about whether a push was needed. 3. Invoice monthly, not per storm, for contract clients. They like predictable paperwork. 4. Bill salt and ice melt as a separate line. Prices change from one winter to the next. 5. Use a [payment reminder](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/payment-reminders) for property managers who pay late; winter costs are heavy and cash matters. ## Common invoice mistakes - Billing a push without recording when it was done - Not stating the trigger depth, so the customer questions each event - Billing seasonal clients in one lump at the end of winter ## Questions ### What should a snow removal invoice include?
