Invoice numbering
Permalink Closed

Hello :)

My question is:

Do the numbering of the invoices have to be reset every year?

Do I have to start every new accounting year with invoice number 1 ?

Thanks

Diona,

You have several options here, as there is no rule that you must reset every year;

  1. You can start using Invoice 1 each year - buut what i would do is reference it like this 1 / 2011 to show the year the invoice is in relation to.
  2. You could invoice say 1-21 in year one and then simply use invoice 22 in the second year and so on.

There is no correct answer here and it is purely personal preference,  I prefer option 2 - but that's just me.

Dustin

I use your option 2 as well Dustin, if you only have a few clients it doesn't look like it after a couple of years!!!!

 Is there any rule that stops you from starting at say 1200 and continuing from there to stop you looking like  a completely new business?
