Can I put government filing fees on the invoice?

Yes as a pass-through line. Say whether tax applies to your fee only or also to the fee.

Does Kitebill do recurring invoices automatically?

No. Duplicate last month's invoice in one click; sending stays manual.

No for a few clients. Pro helps when you outgrow free limits or want expenses and CSV export.

Accountant & bookkeeper invoice template

Accounting invoices get paid when the period, scope and filing deadlines are obvious — not when the PDF just says "professional services".

Fields that belong on an accountant invoice

Period covered: "Books for September 2026" or "FY2025 corporate return".
Entity billed: legal company name matching the engagement letter.
Engagement type: monthly retainer, catch-up package, one-off filing, advisory hours.
Deliverables: management accounts, VAT/GST return filed, payroll run count — concrete nouns.
How to pay: firm IBAN / Wise / local transfer details.

Line-item patterns

Engagement	Example lines	Tip
Monthly bookkeeping	September bookkeeping retainer · bank rec · VAT draft	Invoice the same day each month; duplicate last invoice in the app.
Catch-up	Jan–Jun catch-up (6 months) · cleanup journal entries	Price per month of backlog so the client can audit the fee.
Tax filing	Corporate return prep · filing fee pass-through	Separate government fees from your professional fee.
Advisory	4 hours CFO advisory @ rate · meeting summary	Cap included hours; extra hours as their own line.

Retainers, deposits and late books

Retainer: bill in advance for the month you will close. Note what happens if the client delivers bank exports late.
Deposit on catch-up: see deposit invoices — common before you open six months of chaos.
Out-of-scope: forensic cleanup, payroll setup, migration from another tool — separate invoices beat silent scope creep.

Compliance note (not advice)

Kitebill prints the fields you type. It is not a tax-authority e-invoicing system and does not file returns for you. Put TRN/VAT/NTN fields when your jurisdiction requires them; check local rules.
