1. Utah-specific invoice requirements

  • Sales tax line: 4.85% state rate. Most services rendered in Utah are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 4.85%; combined 6.1-9.05%.
  • Late-fee cap: Utah statute Utah Code §15-1-1 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
  • Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Utah get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.

2. Financial Advisor line items + standard terms

Every financial advisor invoice in Utah should itemize work clearly. Standard financial advisors use Net 30 terms with no deposit required.

  • Plan preparation flat fee — billed by flat.
  • Hourly advisory — billed by hour (~$295 default).
  • AUM fee — annual % — billed by pct (~$1 default).
  • Tax-prep coordination — billed by flat.

3. Financial Advisor licensing in Utah

Series 65 / 66 + state RIA registration required for fee-only advisors. CFP / CFA designations are industry-standard.

4. Send and follow up

Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Utah customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
