Social media management is a retainer-based business — but that doesn't mean your invoices should be a single line item. A detailed monthly invoice that breaks down content creation, scheduling, community management, and reporting shows clients the full value of what they're getting for their monthly fee.
Clients who see a detailed breakdown of deliverables — posts created, stories produced, ads managed, followers gained — are more likely to retain your services than those who see an undifferentiated monthly fee. Your invoice is also a performance summary.
Ad spend is a pass-through cost — bill it separately from your management fee with clear receipts. Mixing management fees and ad spend into a single line is a common mistake that confuses clients and makes your actual fee look higher than it is.

✦ Open Invoice GeneratorA monthly invoice with clearly defined deliverables — number of posts, platforms managed, reporting included — is the standard approach. List each deliverable type separately so clients can see the scope.
List ad spend as a separate line item at cost (no markup unless agreed), clearly labelled as a pass-through expense. Your management fee for overseeing the ads should be a separate line item.
Standard retainer contracts include a 30-day notice period for cancellation. Note this in your invoice terms. Invoice monthly in advance so you're protected if a client cancels mid-month.
