What goes in a professional project quote
A clear quote prevents scope creep and payment disputes. Include the firm name, the client name, the project title, a list of clearly-defined deliverables with quantities and rates, the tax rate, and the total. Add an expiry date (typically 30 days) so prices don't become open-ended commitments.
Keep line items specific. "Strategic consulting" is too vague — "Discovery workshop and recommendations document (8 hours)" is clear and easy to invoice against later.
