Using the details provided below, create a professional invoice document that includes:
1. A clean, scannable invoice layout with all standard fields that prevent common excuses (invoice number, issue date, due date, clear line items, subtotal, total).
2. Precise payment terms and due date wording tailored to the input.
3. A section listing accepted payment methods and a standard late-fee clause.
4. A brief, courteous payment reminder note that encourages prompt settlement without sounding aggressive.
5. A concise list of the three most common reasons clients delay payment, paired with actionable steps to prevent each.
