What to include in a agency retainer proforma invoice

A proforma helps a client create a PO or approve a new period before the agency issues the formal invoice. It should separate agency fees from pass-through spend and clarify that deliverables remain governed by the agreement.

  • agency, client, period, and proforma number
  • retainer services, deliverables, and included hours
  • overage, media, production, and outside-cost basis
  • amount, currency, tax, PO, and payment
  • validity, agreement reference, and proforma status
