How to create a statement of account

The form above builds a customer statement as you type, and works out the balance after every line. You only enter what happened. The tool does the adding up.

  1. Add your business details and the customer's, then set the statement date, the period it covers and the opening balance.
  2. Add one line for each invoice, payment or credit note in the period, with its date, reference and amount as a debit or a credit.
  3. Check the closing balance, add your payment details, pick one of the 13 designs and download the PDF to send.

What is a statement of account?

A statement of account is a summary a business sends to its customer. It lists every invoice, payment and credit in a period and shows the balance still owed. It is an account statement for a customer who buys on credit, so both sides can check that their records agree.

It is usually sent at month end, or when you are chasing overdue invoices. Seeing every unpaid invoice on one page often gets a customer to pay faster than a reminder about a single bill.

What to include in a statement of account

A clear statement of account format reads from top to bottom like a ledger. This tool has a field for each part:

  • Your business name, logo and how to reach you
  • The customer's name and contact details
  • A statement number and the statement date
  • The period the statement covers, from and to
  • The opening balance on the first day of the period
  • One line per invoice, payment or credit note, with the date, type, reference, description, debit and credit
  • The running balance after each line
  • The closing balance the customer still owes
  • An optional ageing summary: current, 30, 60 and 90 or more days
  • Your payment details, so the customer knows how to pay

Invoices go in the debit column because they add to what the customer owes. Payments and credit notes go in the credit column because they reduce it.

Statement of account vs invoice

An invoice asks for one payment. A statement shows the whole picture:
