What goes on a PR consultant's receipt?
A PR consulting receipt confirms the client paid and records what the work covered, such as a monthly retainer, a press release, or crisis advisory. List the service, the period or hours, and the amount, then show the date paid and the method. Clients keep it as a business expense for their accounts.

How the work is charged
PR consultants usually charge a monthly retainer for ongoing media relations, with one-off work such as a release or advisory priced separately. A receipt shows those amounts as paid.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is issued once payment clears, often monthly by transfer or standing order. Note the period covered, the date the funds arrived, and the method, with a copy kept for both sides.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number so the receipt matches the original invoice. Tax rules vary by country, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
What should a PR consultant receipt include?
Include the services covered in the period, media coverage secured if you report on it, hours worked for project-based work, any distribution or wire service costs passed on, and total received.
How should PR agencies handle receipts for retainer clients?
Issue a monthly receipt on or before the retainer payment date. Include a brief summary of activity covered — press releases issued, coverage secured, events managed. It demonstrates value and keeps records clean.
Should PR consultants include coverage reports with receipts?
Coverage reports are separate documents from receipts. You can reference a report on the receipt — for example, 'April coverage report attached' — but keep the financial document and the performance report separate.
