Managing milestone-based event invoicing (deposit, planning completion, final payment) while tracking actual planning time spent

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro separate event planning fees from vendor cost pass-through?

AgencyPro supports line items beyond time-based billing, so you can add vendor costs (venues, catering, entertainment, decor, etc.) as separate pass-through line items on invoices. Track your event planning time separately, then create invoices that show planning fees (hourly or fixed) plus vendor costs as distinct line items. This transparency helps clients understand exactly what they pay for your event planning expertise versus what goes directly to vendors, reducing billing confusion and making it easier to justify planning fees.

Can I bill differently for event planning versus day-of management?

Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize event work by activity type, so event planning, vendor coordination, site visits, day-of management, and post-event follow-up can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items with different billing rates if needed, showing clients what they pay for different types of event services. This separation helps justify event planning pricing and demonstrates the comprehensive coordination and management involved in professional event execution.

How do I handle milestone-based event invoicing (deposit, planning completion, final payment)?

AgencyPro supports milestone-based invoicing aligned with event planning phases. Create invoices when milestones are reached (initial deposit, planning completion, final payment), while tracking actual planning time spent throughout. You can set up milestone invoices that include planning fees plus vendor costs, or separate invoices for planning versus vendor payments. This gives you flexible event billing that matches how clients prefer to pay for events.

What if clients want to see which vendors were coordinated or which planning tasks were completed?

AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked event planning work, you can add notes specifying which vendors were coordinated, which venues were scouted, which planning tasks were completed, or which event elements were managed. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of event planning work completed and justifies event planning pricing, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
