Consultant: report delivered, invoice ignored

For consultants whose final report or recommendations are delivered and the invoice is late.

Dreading the “please pay me” email? “The awkwardness comes from improvising each time”, so this one is already written. Copy it, fill the brackets, send.

Advisory work feels intangible once delivered. Remind them what was delivered and keep the ask simple.

Tips

Placeholders in [brackets]. Stop when paid: cancel any remaining reminders the day payment clears. General information and draft wording only. Not legal advice. PaidNudge is not a law firm or a debt collector. Check your contract and local rules, or ask a qualified lawyer, before relying on any late fee, interest or court step.
