Custom Fields
Custom Fields let you capture grant numbers, donor-restricted project codes, and other nonprofit identifiers so each invoice aligns with funding requirements and internal reporting needs.
Electronically signed invoices for NPOs can meet U.S. legal standards when they follow ESIGN and state UETA rules, include clear signer intent, and preserve an accurate audit trail that supports enforceability and records retention.
Volunteer Coordinators often prepare invoices for donated labor and small material reimbursements, ensuring documentation captures in-kind contributions and links to donor or grant records for accurate reporting to funders and stakeholders.
Finance Directors use templates to enforce consistent billing, validate grant-specific expenses, reconcile payments, and maintain retained records that support audits, donor reporting, and compliance with internal financial policies.

Line Items provide structured entries for materials, labor, and subsistence costs with quantity, unit price, and aggregated subtotals to ensure transparent cost reporting for donors and auditors.
Tax Handling supports exempt statuses and multiple tax rates so nonprofit-specific tax rules are applied correctly and recorded in the invoice total for accounting reconciliation.
Partial Payments enable deposit and progress-billing entries that reflect staged work on larger projects while maintaining clear outstanding balance information for grant managers.
Multi-currency support helps NPOs working with international donors or partners by recording currency, exchange rates, and converted totals for consistent financial statements.
Audit Metadata attaches signer identity, timestamps, IP addresses, and document versions to each signed invoice so financial and compliance teams can validate transaction history.
Google Drive integration synchronizes signed invoices to a designated folder, preserves original PDF versions, and supports folder-level permissions so nonprofit finance teams can centralize archival and access control for audit readiness.
CRM sync links invoices to donor and project records so billing history updates constituent profiles automatically and fund managers can view invoice status alongside donor commitments and communications.
Dropbox integration offers a second archival location with version history and team folder controls so signed invoices are backed up within the nonprofit's existing document storage strategy.
Template editor provides field mapping, conditional sections, and branding controls so nonprofits can enforce consistent invoice structure while accommodating project-specific line items and compliance notes.
