For virtual assistant businesses
Set the recurring part of a retainer, record project time and invoice clients in the currency agreed. Invoice Crowd organizes the financial evidence without becoming your task manager, shared inbox or password vault.

The workflow
A virtual assistant may combine a stable monthly fee with overage hours, one-off projects and client expenses. These screens keep each part visible and reviewable.
Attach time to a client project instead of a loose sheet
Use projects, tasks and timesheet entries to record work that sits outside the fixed retainer. The time record supports an hourly line or overage review without turning invoice notes into a task conversation.
Raise the recurring part on the agreed cycle
Create a recurring invoice profile for the predictable portion of an engagement and keep its next-send date visible. Review variable hours or expenses separately before adding them to a client bill.
The right customer and currency on every record
Store the customer details used by proposals, invoices and balances, and create supported documents in the currency agreed with the client. Operational credentials and inbox access stay outside the finance system.
The financial layer
Invoice Crowd keeps the commercial and financial trail together while leaving specialist delivery work in the system designed for it.
The proposal or estimate, invoice, payment and financial history describe the same client relationship instead of becoming separate retyped files.
Supported customer records provide the billing identity, document history and balance context without becoming a specialist delivery CRM.
Eligible payment methods depend on the provider accounts you configure and the settings enabled for the record; provider terms, fees and settlement still apply.
Supported records can use the agreed currency while retaining relevant exchange-rate context for the financial workflow.
A quick fit decision
The strongest setup is the one that keeps each kind of record in the right system and still gives the client a coherent money path.

Invoice Crowd is not a task manager, shared inbox, password manager or client support desk. Use it for commercial scope, billable evidence, invoices, payments and financial records.
Never put client passwords, inbox credentials or confidential operating instructions into invoice notes. Those belong in an approved password or operations system.
Connect only the provider you intend to use, preview an eligible invoice and confirm fees, settlement, geography and client experience with that provider.
Test one monthly retainer with included hours, two overage entries and a foreign-currency invoice before migrating your client list.

Questions
Yes. Timesheet entries can be associated with supported projects and tasks so billable work has a record behind it.
Yes. A recurring invoice profile can hold the stable amount, customer, currency and schedule. Review any changing overage or expense lines before billing them.
No. Task communication, shared inboxes, passwords and client operations stay in specialist tools. Invoice Crowd focuses on commercial scope and finance records.
Invoice Crowd supports multi-currency documents and stores relevant rate context for supported records. Payment methods and settlement are governed by the provider accounts you configure.
Supported team roles can provide controlled access depending on the current plan and permissions. Test the exact access needed before inviting anyone who handles client records.
Use a dedicated password manager approved for that purpose. Do not store passwords or access secrets in invoices, customer notes or time entries.
Create one representative client, document the scope and follow it through to an invoice before deciding whether the workflow fits.
