Clear allocation across parties

Reference the mediation or matter without adding sensitive dispute details. State the session date, preparation, session hours, administration, travel, and agreed rate. When fees are split, create a clear invoice for each payer or show the allocation and payments without exposing another party account unnecessarily.

Deposits, cancellation, and overtime

Many mediators collect a retainer before the session. Apply it visibly and bill additional time at the agreed rate. Cancellation, postponement, and overtime fees should follow the signed mediation terms, with the applicable date and authorization documented.

How to make a mediator invoice in 7 steps

  1. Open the invoice with the fields already set up

    Start from this page so the invoice loads with line items and wording used for mediator work. Creating and previewing needs no account.

  2. Add your details and the client

    Enter your business name, address and contact details, then the client name and billing address exactly as they should appear on the record.

  3. Give the invoice a number and dates

    Use a unique invoice number in one unbroken run, then set the issue date and the due date so the payment term is unambiguous.

  4. Replace the sample lines with the work you did

    Swap the example lines for the real job. Describe the unit you are billing, whether that is hours, visits, or units, and put the rate on the same line. The starting lines here open with mediation session hours.

  5. Check the totals and any tax

    Totals calculate as you type. Confirm the quantities, rates and any tax line against your own records, since sales tax rules and what is taxable differ by jurisdiction.

  6. State how and when to pay

    Add the payment terms, the methods you accept and any late fee your agreement allows, so the client has no reason to wait for clarification.

  7. Preview, then download the PDF

    Read the finished invoice before you send it. Preview is free; a PDF download costs $4.99, or is included with Unlimited.
