Client Invoicing and Payment Terms
Focus processes client invoices at the end of each calendar month. Payment terms are net 30 days; finance charges of 2% per month (18% per annum) apply to invoices which are past due. When submitting payment, it is important for the Focus invoice number to appear on the remittance to ensure that your account is properly credited. Questions regarding billing should be directed to Focus Accounts Receivable Department between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday Pacific Time.
