Detailed enough that a client can understand every line item, but organized so they can skim the summary. Use categories and subtotals.

Proactive reporting prevents most disputes. If one arises, use the report as documentation. Detail-level backup turns a confrontation into a quick resolution.

When should billing reports be sent?
