GET YO MONEY.
Thanks for lending us your talents.
Truly. We love our extended family of partners.
<Digital hug. No touching. HR-approved.>
Now let’s talk about the part everyone loves: getting paid.
Do this right and you’ll be so rich.
Your invoice should include the following very basic, extremely adult information:
Invoice number
Date submitted
Your name or legal company name (stage names are cute but the IRS doesn’t think so)
Business address
Contact information
The name of your manager at Genuine Overkill
Your bank account + routing number
(ACH transfers = fast. Checks = nostalgia.)
This is all extremely standard stuff.
Shockingly, it still gets missed.
Not saying you would ever do that. Just… statistically speaking.
Not you. Obviously. But others.
Our billing info (copy & paste like a pro):
Genuine Overkill, LLC
8465 W Sahara Avenue, Suite 111-598
Las Vegas, NV 89117
(702) 389-7221
Email your manager a PDF of your invoice and ask them to confirm receipt.
Or mail it in, wait two weeks, and reconnect with the U.S. Postal Service.
You do you, boo.
First time working with us?
Please include a completed, legible W-9 with your first invoice.
(Illegible handwriting is a hate crime against accounting.)
Also, let’s talk about Zelle, CashApp, Apple Pay, Venmo and the like.
Yeah, that’s an accounting nightmare & we don’t do it. Ok… so with rare exception we will do Zelle, but we will curse your name and we will absolutely think less of you. If you want to go that route, you need to provide us with an invoice and a W-9 (as explained above), as well as the email address and phone number tied to your Zelle Account. Don’t expect us to jump if you text us 5 minutes before you expect to get paid with “yo, its Tommy. Can you Zelle me by end of day? Just send it to Tommy.” The IRS doesn’t work like that, Tommy.
Payment terms (important, read this part):
We pay Net 30.
That’s 30 days from when you submit your invoice.
Which means the clock does not start until you actually send it.
Which could be today. Right now. Literally go do it.
Fun fact:
We pay significantly faster than most Fortune 500 companies.
This is not bragging. But its probably why we don’t have a corporate jet.
So invoice us promptly, get paid promptly, and use the money to fund your continued happiness, rent, snacks, or wildly optimistic investment strategy.
One last note:
The “OMG can you just pay this real quick, I totally forgot” message?
It does not age well. Like milk.
Questions about payment?
Email your manager.
They are real. They are helpful. They are not psychic.
