How are contractors named on Ascen invoices?

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Applies to: Staffing partners and clients who receive Ascen invoices with lines for independent contractors, including corp-to-corp contractors. Employees are always listed under their own name, so nothing here changes for them.

Summary: Each invoice line starts with the name of the worker it is for. An independent contractor is shown by their own name, even if they work through their own business, unless Ascen has set their lines to show the business name instead. A corp-to-corp contractor is shown as the person who did the work together with the company. To change how a contractor is named, email accountsreceivable@ascen.com.

How a worker is named on an invoice line

  • Employees: always their own name.

  • Independent contractors: their own name by default. If the contractor works through a registered business, Ascen can set their lines to show the business name only.

  • Corp-to-corp contractors: by default the person who did the work and the company, for example "Jane Smith - Smith Consulting LLC". Ascen can set these lines to show only the person or only the company.

After the name, the line shows the job title used on invoices, and the department or end client when one is set for that work.

How to change how a contractor is named

Only Ascen can change this setting. Email accountsreceivable@ascen.com with the contractor's name and how you want their lines to read: the person's name, the business name, or (for a corp-to-corp contractor) both.

The change applies to invoices created after it is made. If an invoice you already received also needs correcting, include its invoice number. See How to Request an Invoice Correction or Revision for what to send.

If the business name itself is wrong

A contractor's business name comes from their own account. If it is out of date, the contractor asks us to update it, as described in How do I update my business or entity name?
