# Firm Billing Settings

> Configuring your firm's billing details, VAT, and service catalogue.

# Firm Billing Settings

Billing settings control how invoices look and what defaults are used across your firm.

## Accessing settings

Go to **Settings** → **Billing** to configure your firm's billing defaults.

## What you can configure

### Firm details (for invoices)

* Firm name and address
* VAT registration number
* Contact email/phone

### Invoice settings

* **Invoice prefix**: The prefix for your invoice numbers (e.g. `ARK`)
* **Payment terms**: Default number of days for payment (e.g. 30 days)
* **VAT rate**: Default VAT percentage applied to line items

### Service catalogue

The service catalogue is a list of reusable line item templates. Instead of typing the same descriptions and prices every time, you can select from your catalogue when adding line items to a billing stage.

Examples:

* "Site Survey — €250"
* "Drafting of Existing Plans — €500"
* "PA Application Fee — €150"

To manage your catalogue:

1. Go to **Settings** → **Billing** → **Service Catalogue**
2. Add, edit, or remove items
3. These appear as quick-add options when creating line items in any project

<Tip>
  Keep your service catalogue up to date with your current pricing. It saves time and ensures consistency across projects.
