    Think I was on 132 in 4 years about 45 to one client.

      Number 67 for the current one in the last 5 years although there are about 25 others during that time period for concurrently run projects with other clients but that is from 255 from when I restarted the numbering system a few years back. I also do separate invoices for expenses so there are a stack of those too.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        I've done 9 years at my current client in various guises, including a long stint on weekly self billing that kept getting cocked up and was a pain in the arse but I got paid the next week

        NorthernLadUK would explode if he ever got a good look at that 9 years.

          Who cares about the number of invoices, it's the amount billed that matters

            Are we talking about the same client site, the same end client, or the same parent client of multiple end clients?

            e.g. let's imagine you did work for BMW. You do a 6 month project for BMW Powertrain. A few months later you do a contract for Mini. Then one for BMW Financials. Then one for Rolls Royce, and finally one for Motorrad.
            They are all BMW, just different divisions.
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Yes.

                ( With hindsight, I should've started at 1 million - would've been listed by now. )
                Mine are tied to the client so they start at 001 and keep it a secret

                Go on, share that then.

                Same site (well they moved location), same people, various projects for their clients.
                I probably could have had work on the same exact project for the last 11 years straight but I couldn't cope with that so I keep leaving then coming back when things are quiet with other clients.

                  I considered doing that but overriding the auto numbering in most accounting systems just leaves it open to mistakes.

                    Invoice 726 to same agent, multiple clients.

                      I wasn't using an accounting system other than a spreadsheet, but I was pleased to discover this feature waiting for me when I moved to FreeAgent. Nice.
