Social media manager invoice template

SMM invoices clear when the platforms, period and included deliverables are listed the way the client already approved in Slack or the SOW.

Sample social media manager invoice

Deposits and pauses

Many managers take a first-month deposit before scheduling access. Use a deposit invoice. If the client pauses mid-month, bill the contracted kill/pause fee on its own PDF.

Access and ownership notes

Put in Notes who owns the ad accounts and page admin rights. When a contract ends, your final invoice should not be held hostage over login hand-off — list hand-off as a deliverable line if it is billable time.

Content calendars vs invoices

Do not paste the whole calendar into the PDF. Summarize ("12 feed posts + 8 stories as per Oct calendar") and keep the calendar in Drive/Notion. AP wants amounts; the marketing lead wants the calendar.

Multi-brand freelancers

If you manage three brands for one holding company, either three invoices (cleaner for each brand's budget) or one invoice with three clearly named sections. Free plan allows 3 clients — one per brand works well.

Questions

Client wants one invoice for fee + ads?

You can, but use two lines so AP can code media separately.

Late content approvals?

Put approval SLAs in Notes; bill rush as a line if the SOW allows.
