Frequently asked questions

Can I use this invoice for performance-based fees?

Yes, the generator includes a billing type for performance-based fees. You can specify the calculation basis (e.g., high-water mark) in the line items or notes. Ensure your advisory agreement permits performance fees under the Investment Advisers Act.

Do I need to include my SEC registration number?

It's not mandatory on the invoice, but including your firm's legal name as registered with the SEC/CFTC is recommended. For certain clients, such as registered funds, additional disclosures may be required.

How should I handle expense reimbursements?

List reimbursable expenses as separate line items with descriptions (e.g., 'FINRA filing fee') and attach supporting documentation if needed. Clearly mark them as 'reimbursement at cost'.
