How it works
From source records to financial reports
Invoices, bills, expenses, payments, journals and reconciliations live in one business, so you and your accountant can see the records behind every balance.
Classify and adjust
Organize your accounts and post adjustments.
Post balanced Manual Journals
Enter two or more lines with equal debit and credit totals. Invoice Crowd checks the accounts, the business and any locked period before saving the entry.
Write off a bad debt
When an invoice will not be collected, Write Off Balance in Manage Payments closes its remaining balance against an expense account such as Bad Debts, on the date you choose. No payment is recorded, the receivable clears, the reason stays on record, and cash-basis reports treat it as the noncash adjustment it is.
Reconcile your bank
Upload a statement and close it with confidence.
Import a bank statement
Upload the statement file your bank exports, check the detected columns in the import wizard, then review the transactions for one account and period.
Match entries and close the reconciliation
Compare statement lines with recorded expenses, bills, income and other account activity. Add anything missing from a prefilled form, tick what matches and close the statement.
Match one bank line to several entries
Match transactions on a statement line opens a drawer where one deposit or withdrawal clears several recorded entries, such as a $970.00 payout that settles a $1,000.00 invoice payment and a $30.00 fee. Record Transfer moves money between bank, cash and payment-clearing accounts, with any fee the processor withheld, so payouts reconcile to the cent.
Inspect and report
Drill from totals to the transactions behind them.
Move from Trial Balance to General Ledger
Spot an account worth a closer look in the Trial Balance, open its General Ledger and follow each entry back to the document that created it.
Review statements with full context
Read each statement for the period you choose alongside the General Ledger and Trial Balance. If a figure is out, the difference is shown so you can trace it to its source.
Cash or accrual, period against period
Choose Accounting Basis, Accrual or Cash, on the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and General Ledger. Cash recognizes income and expenses when they are paid, including part payments, while your original transactions stay unchanged. Compare sets a statement beside the Previous period, the Same period last year or the Last 12 months, with Change and Change % columns and a PDF or Excel download.

Questions
Accounting, answered
Does Invoice Crowd use double-entry accounting?
Yes. Invoice Crowd keeps a double-entry ledger that refuses unbalanced entries, and the Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, General Ledger and Cash Flow Statement all come from that same ledger. If older data leaves a difference on a statement, it stays visible so you can review it.
What accounting tools are included?
Invoice Crowd includes Chart of Accounts, Manual Journals, Opening Balances, Bank Reconciliation from an imported statement, Fixed Assets, Budget vs Actuals, General Ledger, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Profit and Loss and Lock Transactions. Report Pack puts the five statements in one PDF behind an At a Glance cover, and every statement downloads on your letterhead with page numbers. Statements run on an accrual or a cash basis and compare with earlier periods. Accounting is included on paid plans.
Where do I find the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet?
On the Reports page. Choose Reports in the sidebar, and the Financial Statements group lists the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Trial Balance, General Ledger and Budget vs Actuals next to every other report, with search and Favourites. The Accounting menu keeps the bookkeeping tasks: Chart of Accounts, Manual Journals, Bank Reconciliation, Opening Balances, Fixed Assets and Lock Transactions.
Can Invoice Crowd show my reports on a cash basis?
Yes. The Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and General Ledger have an Accounting Basis filter with Accrual and Cash. Cash recognizes income and expenses when they are paid, including part payments, and Accrual recognizes them when invoiced or billed. Your original transactions stay unchanged, the PDF prints Cash Basis or Accrual Basis, and Report Pack follows the basis you choose. Accounting is included on paid plans.
Can I compare financial statements across periods?
Yes. On the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and Cash Flow Statement, Compare offers Previous period, Same period last year and Last 12 months, and Earlier Periods adds up to three columns. Every line shows its Change and Change %, and the comparison downloads as a PDF or an Excel file.
Can Invoice Crowd track fixed assets and depreciation?
Yes. Fixed Assets, under Accounting, is a register of the equipment, vehicles and property your business owns. Add Asset records the cost, salvage value, useful life in months, purchase and service dates, the asset, accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense accounts, and how the asset was paid for: from a bank, cash or card account, as an opening balance for something you owned before your books started, or already recorded by a bill or expense. Depreciation is straight-line. Each finished month posts automatically as a journal, Post All posts whatever is due through a date you choose, and the register shows the monthly amount, accumulated depreciation and remaining value. Dispose (Sell or Write Off) records a sale or write-off with its gain or loss. Fixed Assets is included on paid plans.
Does Invoice Crowd check that journals balance?
Yes. Every manual journal needs at least two lines with equal debit and credit totals before it saves. The entry is saved as a whole and respects your selected business and any locked period.
Can I reconcile from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Upload a CSV, XLS or XLSX statement and the import wizard detects the columns, then stages the rows in Bank Reconciliation for matching. OFX, QIF, CAMT.053, MT940 and BAI2 files work too.
What should I do when a statement report shows a difference?
Trace it to its source. The statement shows how far out of balance it is and offers Review and Fix; use the Trial Balance and General Ledger to find the affected account, then correct the original record.
Does opening an accounting report change the books?
No. Reports are read-only. Opening, filtering or exporting a statement or ledger leaves your documents and journals exactly as they are.
Can I lock a period after I close the books?
Yes. Lock Transactions, the last item under Accounting, locks invoicing, purchases, accounting or all transactions dated on or before a date you choose, so nobody can create, edit or delete them. The account owner can unlock a few dates to fix one entry and lock them again, and every change is recorded with who, when and why. Creating or changing a lock is included on paid plans.
