Invoice Crowd Budget vs Actuals for a non-profit comparing monthly budget and actual amounts for grant income, contractors, rent, printing, training and supplies, with a funder payment notification, the organization switcher and the year-to-date surplus

What is inside

From the funder's invoice to the year-end pack

A non-profit's books have to answer two questions: who still owes you, and what happened to money that was given for a purpose. Both are answered from the same entries.

Money coming in

Sponsors, funders, members and anyone else you bill

Invoice Crowd invoice to a grant funder with the grant installment and evaluation report lines, custom fields for the grant and program references, Net 30 payment terms and a credit note for a returned amount

Invoice a sponsor or a grant funder

Funders and sponsors are customer records, with their own contacts, currency and payment terms. Bill against a grant reference, a purchase order number or a cost center using custom fields, and the invoice carries your organization's logo and the wording your finance policy requires.

  • Custom fields for grant, program and reference numbers
  • Payment terms and due dates set per funder
  • Credit notes when an amount is written off or returned
Customer records
Invoice Crowd recurring invoices for a non-profit with yearly, quarterly and monthly sponsor and partner schedules, one schedule paused, and a quarterly sponsorship schedule

Pledges and sponsorships that repeat

A corporate sponsor paying quarterly, a partner organization on an annual agreement, a service contract billed every month. Set the amount, the schedule and the start date once and the invoice is raised and sent on each date without anyone marking a calendar.

  • Weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual cycles
  • Pause or stop a schedule at any time
  • Automatic reminders when an invoice goes past due
Recurring invoices

Where the money goes

Filed to an account, not to a memory

Invoice Crowd chart of accounts for a non-profit showing expense accounts with their numbers, a new account added for a funder reporting category and an expense filed to it with its receipt

Restricted spend, filed to a named account

Each payment out is posted to an account from a chart that arrives with 148 of them, 103 on the expense side. Add accounts for the categories a funder asks you to report against, and attach the receipt to the entry so the evidence stays with the figure.

  • Add accounts to match a funder's categories
  • Attach the receipt or supplier invoice to the entry
  • Recurring entries for rent, insurance and subscriptions
Expense tracking
Invoice Crowd Budget vs Actuals for a non-profit with budget, actual and variance for grant income, contractors, rent, printing, training and supplies in July, August and September

A budget per account, checked as the year runs

Set what a program is meant to spend on each account and read the variance while there is still time to act on it. Budget against actuals sits next to the ledger it draws from, so the figure a trustee questions can be traced in the general ledger to the entries that produced it.

  • Budget set account by account
  • Variance visible long before year end
  • The general ledger lists the postings behind each account

What the board sees

The pack a treasurer or an auditor asks for

Invoice Crowd Profit and Loss Statement for a non-profit with grant income, program materials and expenses by month, a balance sheet summary, the trial balance totals and a report scheduled by email

Statements produced from the same entries

Income and expenditure across the year in monthly columns, a balance sheet as at any date, a trial balance that has to balance, and a cash flow statement drawn from the same postings. Nothing is retyped from a spreadsheet, so a question at a board meeting has an answer underneath it.

  • Balance sheet and trial balance for the auditor
  • Aged debt showing which invoices are still unpaid
  • Reports emailed on a schedule you set

Invoice Crowd Business Profiles screen with a separate profile for each program of a non-profit, and the switcher that moves between their books under one login

One business profile per program

Where an operating unit needs its own books, a supported business profile can keep its logo, documents, invoices, accounts and statements separate under one login. Review the Pricing page for current profile limits.

  • Separate books without a second subscription
  • One to ten profiles depending on the plan
  • Team members invited with the role you choose
The accounting module

Also included

The rest of what a small organization needs

All of this is in the same subscription, whether you are a two-person charity or a foundation running several programs.

  • Customer portal

    Funders open, download and pay their invoices in one place instead of asking for a resend.

  • Online payment

    PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, Square, Payoneer, Braintree, Authorize.net, Airwallex, GoCardless, PayFast, PayTabs, Telr and M-Pesa attach to the invoice.

  • Overseas grants

    Bill an overseas funder in the currency of the grant while reporting in your base currency.

  • Estimates and proposals

    Set out a piece of work for a funder and collect an approval signature online.

  • Team roles

    Invite a bookkeeper, a program lead or a treasurer and give each the access they need.

  • Outbound webhooks

    Send selected events to a webhook receiver you configure. Any downstream automation, authentication and delivery remain part of your customer-managed workflow.

  • Scheduled reports

    Have the month's figures arrive by email before the meeting rather than after it.

  • General ledger

    Read every posting behind an account, with a running balance and a link back to the invoice or expense.

  • Bank reconciliation

    Tie the ledger to the bank statement period by period, so nothing is missed at year end.

  • Suppliers and bills

    Enter what a supplier charges as a bill, and raise a purchase order first when spend needs approval.

  • Manual journals

    Post an adjustment or a year-end correction directly to the ledger, with both sides of the entry recorded.

  • Opening balances

    Enter what each account held on the day you started, so the first year's statements are complete.

Questions

Non-profit finances in Invoice Crowd, answered

Can Invoice Crowd track donations as well as invoices?

It is invoicing and accounting software rather than a donation platform. Money in is recorded as an invoice or an income entry against an account you choose, so sponsorship, grants, membership fees and service income all land in the same ledger and the same statements.

Can Invoice Crowd replace specialist nonprofit fund accounting?

Invoice Crowd can organize operational income and expenses with business profiles, configured accounts, bills, invoices and financial reports. Match statutory and fund-reporting requirements with the accounting workflow your organization follows.

What reports can we hand to a board or an auditor?

Profit and loss by month, a balance sheet as at a date, trial balance, cash flow, and the general ledger behind all of them. Alongside those sit aged debt, expense and income reports. Each one exports to spreadsheet or PDF, and the invoice, income, expense and aged debt reports can also arrive by email on a schedule.

Can we run several programs under one login?

Yes. Supported business profiles can keep an operating unit's invoices, accounts and statements separate, with its own name and logo on documents. Review the Pricing page for current profile limits.

Do you handle grants paid in another currency?

Yes. An invoice can be raised in the funder's currency while your accounts continue to total in the one currency you report in. That keeps a euro grant and a dollar grant comparable in the same income statement without anyone converting figures by hand.

What does this cost a small organization?

Review the current Pricing page for available plans, limits, billing options and trial terms. Packaging can change, so this page avoids repeating volatile pricing details.

Put the funding and the accounts in one place

Bill the funder, file the spend, and let the statements assemble themselves from the entries behind them. Thirty days is long enough to run a month of your own figures through it.
