Invoices in four currencies, one book for the accountant

Ines Marchetti designs products for three clients in three countries and gets paid four ways.

VAT, expenses and the files your accountant opens

VAT per quarter from the invoices you sent, expenses with their receipts.

The month to the accountant

The accountant asks for the same folder every quarter: every invoice, every receipt, the bank feed, the VAT figure. One press or an afternoon?

The assistant

Ask it who has not paid, and press once

One person, many clients: the composer keeps the chasing and the tax in view without a spreadsheet.

What it takes on

Who is overdue, and what next
One line per client: how late the oldest invoice is, the reminders sent, what they promised, and one next step with its reason. Write it down and Send it are a press each.
VAT by the day the period closes
What has accrued, and where the period's own pace leads by its last day, with a goal card on the tax account. Nothing here moves money.
The month as a checklist
Everything that stops the close in one list with a box per line, and the last box closes the month.

Connections

Clients pay by card, bank transfer or USDC

Card payments through your own Stripe, the euro bank by feed, and a USDC wallet in the same book.

Who does what

You, your accountant, and a contractor

Founder
Sends the quote and the invoice, files the week's rows in a minute, and knows the VAT figure before the quarter ends.
Accountant
Gets the quarter's files, and a seat for reading the closed period.
Contractor
Is paid from the same book when a project needs a second pair of hands, as a contact with a rail, not a seat.

Control and trust

Read-only feeds, keys in your browser

Read-only connections
Bank feeds and exchange keys only read. A key with trading rights is refused.
Your keys stay yours
Wallet keys stay in your browser. Orla holds money in two places only, both funded by you: the card balance and an agent's wallet.
Screening
An address is screened before you pay it or the one that just paid you; the verdict is kept.
Paper
A receipt finds its own payment; rows without paper are waived in bulk when there never was any.

Questions

The questions that come first

Can I invoice in a currency my bank does not hold?

Yes. An invoice is issued in the currency the client pays in and priced into your base currency at the day's rate. Where the money lands is the account you pick on the invoice.

Does the free plan cover a business of one?

The free plan has no card and no time limit, and it includes one business space to try. Paid plans start at $25 a month; any single limit can be raised with a pack instead of a plan change, so a business of one pays for what it uses.

How does the accountant get the quarter?

As a zip archive, a journal CSV and each account's feed for QuickBooks Online and Xero, with the VAT return period by period. An accountant who prefers the rows to a folder gets a seat that reads the closed period.
