Kiaro · The Getting-Paid Kit
Everything you need to get paid faster.
Getting paid is the part of freelancing nobody teaches you. This is the set of proposal, invoice, deposit, scope, and follow-up templates I use to get money in the door sooner, with a lot less awkwardness. Copy them, fill in the brackets, send.
Six documents, sent to your inbox, free. No spam, unsubscribe anytime. Still working out what to charge? The rate calculator is free too.
What is inside
Six documents that cover the whole money side of a project.
Proposal template
The document that wins the work and sets your payment terms before a single hour is billed. Scope, deliverables, what is not included, and a deposit built into the price the client approves.
Invoice template
A clean invoice that gets paid fast, plus the two settings that matter most: net 7 instead of net 30, and sending it the day you finish rather than the end of the month.
Deposit scripts
How to ask for money upfront without flinching, whether it is already in the proposal or coming up on a call. Includes exact wording for when a client pushes back on paying before you start.
Scope clauses
The clauses that stop a project from quietly doubling in size for free. Change requests, revision limits, overage rates, and one plain sentence to say when a client asks for just one more thing.
Late-payment sequence
Five emails, from the friendly nudge the day before it is due to the final notice at 30 days. Already written and calm, so you never draft a where-is-my-money email in the moment you are annoyed.
Rate-increase scripts
How to charge more, both with new clients and the ones you already have, including what to send when they push back.
“The late-payment sequence alone was worth downloading this for; five emails I don’t have to write while annoyed! Fill in the brackets, send, that’s genuinely it.”
Where this fits
Know your rate. Get paid it. Then stop doing it by hand.
Find your real rate
The rate calculator shows what you actually need to charge once non-billable time, time off, and tax are counted.
Go get paid it
This kit gives you the proposals, deposit asks, invoices, and follow-ups to turn that rate into money in your account.
Put it on autopilot
Kiaro does all of this for you: drafts the proposal, tracks the hours, sends the invoice, and flags what is overdue.
