Invoice Numbering Best Practices
Use a consistent numbering system like INV-2026-001 (year + sequential number) or CLIENT-001 (client code + number). Never reuse invoice numbers. A clear numbering system makes it easy to track payments, follow up on overdue invoices, and maintain clean financial records for tax purposes.
