Your client emails: "Can you send me a breakdown of what I owe?"
You pause. You have sent three invoices over the past two months. One is paid, one is overdue, one is not due yet. The client has not disputed anything, but they seem confused about the total.
You could forward all three invoices again. Or you could send a statement of account — one clear summary showing every invoice, every payment, and the exact balance owed.
A statement of account is not an invoice. It is not a payment demand. It is a financial summary that shows the full picture between you and the client. It works when you have multiple open invoices, when you need to remind a client of the total owed before escalating, or when you send monthly updates to ongoing clients.
This guide gives you three copy-paste UK statement of account templates with GBP examples for designers, developers, and consultants, explains when to send a statement versus a chase email versus a letter before action, shows you how to build an ageing summary, and includes email scripts for routine updates, overdue multi-invoice reminders, and pre-escalation summaries.
What a statement of account is (and when UK freelancers should send one)
A statement of account (also called an account statement or client statement) is a document that summarises all financial transactions between you and a client over a period — usually a month, a quarter, or year-to-date.
It shows:
✓ All invoices issued (with dates, invoice numbers, and amounts)
✓ All payments received (with dates and amounts)
✓ Any credits or adjustments applied
✓ A running balance after each transaction
✓ The current total owed
✓ Often an ageing summary showing how overdue each invoice is
Example: You have worked with a client for three months. You sent five invoices. They paid two, partially paid one, and two are overdue. A statement shows all five invoices in date order, the two payments, the running balance, and the £4,800 they currently owe.
Statement of account vs invoice vs payment reminder
Invoice: A single demand for payment. "You owe £1,200 for this project. Pay by 14 days."
Payment reminder (chase email): A follow-up when one invoice is overdue. "Invoice INV-2026-078 (£1,200) was due on 24 September. Please pay now."
Statement of account: A summary of multiple invoices and payments. "Here is everything you owe me. Total due: £4,800."
Use a statement when you need to show the full financial relationship, not just one overdue invoice.
When to send a statement of account — the decision tree
Not every freelancer needs to send statements. Here is when they make sense.
Send a statement when:
✓ You have multiple open invoices with one client (e.g. monthly retainer, ongoing project billing, or several completed projects not yet paid)
✓ The client asks "what do I owe?" (a statement answers that question in one document)
✓ You want to summarise before escalating — send a statement as the final polite reminder before a letter before action
✓ You have a monthly billing cycle with corporate clients who expect statements as part of their accounts payable process
✓ The client has paid some invoices but not others and you want to show the remaining balance clearly
Do NOT send a statement when:
✗ You have one overdue invoice — just send a chase email directly (see our how to chase a late invoice guide)
✗ The client has disputed the work — resolve the dispute first, then invoice or statement
✗ You are ready to send a letter before action — at that stage, send the legal demand, not a soft summary
Bottom line: Statements are for clarity and routine updates. Use them when you need to show multiple transactions. For single overdue invoices, chase directly.
Statement of account vs chase email vs letter before action — when to use each
You have three tools to get paid. Here is when to use each.
Use a payment chase email when:
✓ One invoice is overdue
✓ You have sent a polite reminder already
✓ The invoice is under 30 days overdue
✓ You want to keep the tone friendly
Example email:
Hi [Client name],
Just a quick reminder that invoice INV-2026-078 (£1,200) was due on 24 September and is now 8 days overdue. Can you confirm when you will send payment? Let me know if you need a copy of the invoice. Thanks, [Your name]
For full chase email templates, see how to chase a late invoice.
Use a statement of account when:
✓ You have multiple invoices (paid and unpaid)
✓ You want to show the total owed
✓ You are sending a monthly update to an ongoing client
✓ You want to summarise before escalating
Example email:
Hi [Client name],
Please find attached your statement of account for January–September 2026. The total balance outstanding is £4,800, made up of three overdue invoices. Payment details are on each invoice. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, [Your name]
Use a letter before action when:
✓ Chasing has failed
✓ The invoice is 30+ days overdue
✓ The client is ignoring you
✓ You are ready to escalate to court if they do not pay
Example opening:
This is a formal letter before action regarding unpaid invoices INV-2026-078, INV-2026-081, and INV-2026-083, totalling £4,800. Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998, I am entitled to statutory interest and recovery costs. If I do not receive payment of £4,987 (invoice total + interest + recovery costs) by [deadline], I will issue court proceedings without further notice.
For full letter before action templates, see letter before action template UK.
Decision checklist
✓ One invoice, under 30 days overdue? → Chase email
✓ One invoice, 30+ days overdue, client ignoring you? → Letter before action
✓ Multiple invoices, client paying some but not others? → Statement of account
✓ Multiple invoices, all overdue, client not responding? → Statement first, then letter before action if ignored
✓ Monthly retainer client? → Statement every month as routine
Tip: You can send a statement and then escalate. A statement is not a replacement for a letter before action. It is a summary before you get formal.
What to include on a UK statement of account — field checklist
A good statement of account is clear, detailed, and shows the full picture. Here is what to include.
Required fields
✓ "Statement of Account" label at the top
✓ Date range (e.g. "1 January 2026 – 30 September 2026" or "Year to date as of 30 September 2026")
✓ Your business name and address
✓ Your contact details (email, phone, or both)
✓ Client name and address
✓ Statement date (the date you issued the statement)
✓ Opening balance (if there was a balance brought forward from a previous period)
✓ Line-by-line transaction list:
- Date of each invoice
- Invoice number
- Description (brief — e.g. "Website design — Invoice INV-2026-078")
- Invoice amount (debit)
- Payment amount (credit, shown as negative or in brackets)
- Running balance after each transaction
✓ Total balance due (the amount currently owed)
✓ Ageing summary (optional but recommended — breaks down overdue amounts by age: Current / 30 / 60 / 90+ days)
✓ Payment instructions (bank details or how to pay)
VAT on statements (VAT registered freelancers)
If you are VAT registered, show VAT on each invoice line or as a separate column. The statement should match your invoices.
Example:
| Date | Invoice | Description | Net | VAT | Gross | Payment | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Aug | INV-078 | Brand design | £1,000 | £200 | £1,200 | £1,200 | |
| 22 Aug | Payment | Bank transfer | (£1,200) | £0 |
If you are not VAT registered, just show gross amounts. No VAT column needed.
Ageing summary — why it matters
An ageing summary groups outstanding invoices by how overdue they are. This helps you and the client see which invoices are urgent.
Standard ageing bands:
- Current — not yet due
- 30 days — 1–30 days overdue
- 60 days — 31–60 days overdue
- 90+ days — over 60 days overdue
Example:
| Age | Amount |
|---|---|
| Current | £1,200 |
| 30 days | £2,400 |
| 60 days | £0 |
| 90+ days | £1,200 |
| Total due | £4,800 |
This tells you: £1,200 is not yet due, £2,400 is 1–30 days late, and £1,200 is over 60 days late (escalate that one immediately).
We will show you how to build an ageing summary below.

How to build an ageing summary — step-by-step
An ageing summary shows which invoices are overdue and how urgent each one is. Here is how to build one.
Step 1: List all unpaid invoices
Make a table with:
- Invoice number
- Invoice date
- Due date
- Amount
- Days overdue (today's date minus due date)
Example (today is 30 September 2026):
| Invoice | Due date | Amount | Days overdue |
|---|---|---|---|
| INV-2026-078 | 24 Aug 2026 | £1,400 | 37 days |
| INV-2026-081 | 11 Sep 2026 | £1,600 | 19 days |
| INV-2026-089 | 26 Sep 2026 | £1,400 | 4 days |
Step 2: Group invoices by age band
Standard bands:
- Current — not yet due (due date is in the future)
- 30 days — 1–30 days overdue
- 60 days — 31–60 days overdue
- 90+ days — over 60 days overdue
For the example above:
- INV-2026-078 (37 days overdue) → 60 days band
- INV-2026-081 (19 days overdue) → 30 days band
- INV-2026-089 (4 days overdue) → 30 days band
Step 3: Sum each band
| Age | Amount |
|---|---|
| Current | £0 |
| 30 days | £3,000 (£1,600 + £1,400) |
| 60 days | £1,400 |
| 90+ days | £0 |
| Total due | £4,400 |
Step 4: Add to your statement
Put the ageing summary at the bottom of your statement, after the transaction list. This makes it easy for the client (and you) to see which invoices need urgent attention.
Tip: If you have a 90+ day invoice, escalate immediately. Do not wait for the next monthly statement. Send a letter before action with statutory interest.
Email scripts — sending statements for routine updates, overdue reminders, and pre-escalation summaries
Script 1 — Monthly statement for ongoing retainer client (routine)
Subject: Statement of account — September 2026
Hi [Client name],
Please find attached your statement of account for September 2026.
Summary:
- Invoices issued: £4,320 (September retainer)
- Payments received: £4,320
- Balance due: £0
Everything is up to date. Your October invoice will be sent on 1 October as usual.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Best,
[Your name]
Script 2 — Statement showing multiple unpaid invoices (polite reminder)
Subject: Statement of account — Outstanding balance £4,400
Hi [Client name],
I have attached your statement of account covering July–September 2026.
Outstanding balance: £4,400
This is made up of three invoices:
- INV-2026-078 (£1,400) — due 24 August, now 37 days overdue
- INV-2026-081 (£1,600) — due 11 September, now 19 days overdue
- INV-2026-089 (£1,400) — due 26 September, now 4 days overdue
Payment details are on each invoice and on the statement. Can you confirm when you will be able to settle the outstanding balance?
Let me know if you have any questions or need copies of the invoices.
Thanks,
[Your name]
Script 3 — Statement before escalation to letter before action
Subject: Final summary before escalation — Statement of account
Hi [Client name],
I have sent multiple reminders regarding the outstanding invoices listed below, but I have not received payment or a response.
Please find attached a statement of account showing the full outstanding balance: £4,800.
This includes:
- INV-2026-078 (£1,400) — 42 days overdue
- INV-2026-081 (£1,600) — 30 days overdue
- INV-2026-085 (£1,800) — 19 days overdue
I need payment of the full outstanding balance by 7 October 2026. If I do not receive payment by that date, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter and issue a formal letter before action, which will include statutory interest and debt recovery costs.
I would prefer to resolve this without legal action. Please contact me urgently to discuss payment.
Best,
[Your name]
Script 4 — When the client asks "what do I owe?"
Subject: Statement of account — Total balance due
Hi [Client name],
Please find attached your statement of account showing all invoices and payments since we started working together.
Total balance due: £4,400
The statement lists each invoice, the payments you have made, and the outstanding balance. Payment details are at the bottom of the statement.
Let me know if anything looks incorrect or if you need copies of any invoices.
Thanks,
[Your name]
What to do after you send a statement — three outcomes
Outcome 1 — They pay in full
Job done. Confirm receipt of payment:
Hi [Client name],
Payment of £4,400 received on [Date]. All outstanding invoices are now settled. Thank you.
Mark the invoices as paid in your accounting system. Update your statement file for next time.
Outcome 2 — They ask for time or dispute something
If they ask for more time:
Set a written deadline. Do not leave it vague.
Hi [Client name],
Thanks for your message. I understand cash flow can be tight. Can you confirm a specific date you will send payment? I need the outstanding balance cleared by [Date].
If they dispute an invoice:
Ask for written details. Review your contract and delivery proof. Try to resolve it.
Hi [Client name],
Thanks for letting me know. Can you send me written details of what you are disputing? I will review my records and get back to you within [X] days.
If the dispute is a stalling tactic (e.g. they raise quality concerns three months after delivery), hold firm and refer to your contract terms.
Outcome 3 — They ignore the statement
If the statement is ignored, escalate.
Next steps:
- Send one final chase email referencing the statement
- If still no reply, send a formal letter before action (see letter before action template UK)
- If the letter is ignored, file a claim via Money Claim Online
Do not send endless statements. If polite reminders and a statement do not work, escalate to a legal demand.
When NOT to send a statement of account — alternatives
You have one overdue invoice and no other unpaid invoices. Just chase the invoice directly. A statement is unnecessary.
The client has already ignored multiple reminders. Skip straight to a letter before action. A statement will not change their behaviour.
You are ready to start court proceedings. Do not send a statement at that stage. Send the legal demand (letter before action) with statutory interest and recovery costs.
The client has disputed the work and you have not resolved it. Sending a statement will not resolve a quality or scope dispute. Fix the dispute first, then invoice or statement.
You want to demand immediate payment with interest. A statement is a summary, not a legal demand. For formal debt recovery with interest, use a letter before action.
Bottom line: Statements are for clarity and routine updates. Use them when you have multiple transactions to summarise. For single overdue invoices or formal demands, use chase emails or letters before action instead.
VAT on statements — what VAT registered freelancers need to know
If you are VAT registered, your statement should show VAT for each invoice line, just like your invoices do.
How to show VAT on a statement
Option 1 — Separate columns for net, VAT, and gross:
| Date | Invoice | Description | Net | VAT | Gross | Payment | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Aug | INV-078 | Brand design | £1,000 | £200 | £1,200 | £1,200 | |
| 22 Aug | Payment | Bank transfer | (£1,200) | £0 | |||
| 5 Sep | INV-081 | Logo concepts | £2,000 | £400 | £2,400 | £2,400 |
Option 2 — Gross amounts only, with VAT note:
| Date | Invoice | Description | Amount (incl. VAT) | Payment | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Aug | INV-078 | Brand design | £1,200 | £1,200 | |
| 22 Aug | Payment | Bank transfer | (£1,200) | £0 | |
| 5 Sep | INV-081 | Logo concepts | £2,400 | £2,400 |
Note: All amounts include VAT at 20%. See individual invoices for VAT breakdown.
Either format works. Option 1 is more detailed. Option 2 is simpler.
If you are not VAT registered
Just show gross amounts. No VAT column needed. Write "Not VAT registered" or "Not applicable" if the client asks.
Source: GOV.UK — VAT invoices and credit notes
Common mistakes that confuse clients (and delay payment)
Not showing a running balance. A statement without a running balance is just a list of invoices. The running balance shows the client exactly what they owe after each transaction. Always include it.
Forgetting to subtract payments. If the client paid £1,200 on 22 August, show it as a credit (negative amount or in brackets) and reduce the balance. Do not just list invoices and ignore payments.
Mixing up dates. Use invoice date for when the invoice was issued, due date for when it was supposed to be paid, and statement date for when you issued the statement. Do not confuse them.
No ageing summary. Without an ageing summary, the client cannot see which invoices are overdue. Always add ageing if you have multiple unpaid invoices.
Sending a statement for one invoice. If you only have one unpaid invoice, just chase it directly. A statement is overkill.
Using a statement as a legal demand. A statement is a summary, not a formal demand. If you want to demand payment with interest, send a letter before action, not a statement.
Not updating the client on credits or adjustments. If you issued a credit note or applied a discount, show it on the statement. Otherwise, the balance will not match the invoices and the client will be confused.
Decision checklist — should I send a statement of account for this situation?
Use this checklist to decide whether you need a statement.
Send a statement if:
✓ You have multiple invoices with one client (paid and unpaid)
✓ The client asks "what do I owe?"
✓ You want to send a monthly update to a retainer or ongoing client
✓ You have invoices at different overdue stages and want to show the full picture
✓ You want to summarise before escalating to a letter before action
Do NOT send a statement if:
✗ You have one unpaid invoice (chase it directly)
✗ The client has already ignored multiple reminders (escalate to letter before action)
✗ The client has disputed the work and you have not resolved it
✗ You are ready to start court proceedings (send letter before action instead)
Bottom line: Statements are for clarity and routine updates. Use them to show the full financial relationship, not to chase single invoices or make legal demands.
