1. Welcome

This portal lets you send pictures of your receipts and invoices to your parish. Your accountant reviews them and records them in the parish accounting system (QuickBooks).

Don't worry if you make a mistake — you can always go back and correct things before your accountant records the receipt.

What You Need

Tip
If you need help at any time, contact your parish administrator.

4. Sending a Receipt

On a Computer

  1. Click "Upload" in the menu bar at the top of the page.
  2. Choose the type of receipt by clicking the matching button:
    • Deposit — money coming in to the parish
    • Invoice / Receipt — money going out (a purchase)
    • Credit Card — a credit card charge
  3. Click "Browse Files" to find the picture or PDF on your computer. You can also drag and drop the file onto the dashed upload area.
  4. A small preview of the file will appear. Make sure it is the right one.
  5. Click the blue upload button at the bottom (it will say something like "Upload Invoice / Receipt"). A progress bar will show how far along the upload is.
  6. When the file is sent, the page will move you to the Review page automatically. You can add a memo note there. See Section 5 for what to do next.

On a Phone or Tablet

  1. Tap the menu icon (three lines ☰) in the top corner to open the menu, then tap "Upload."
  2. Tap the button for the type of receipt: Deposit, Invoice / Receipt, or Credit Card.
  3. Tap the upload area in the middle of the screen.
  4. Choose "Take Photo" to take a new photo with your camera, or "Photo Library" to pick an existing photo.
  5. If taking a photo: lay the receipt flat on a table or counter. Use good lighting — natural daylight works best. Make sure all the text, especially the total and date, is sharp and readable.
    Tip
    Avoid shadows falling across the receipt. A plain background helps the system read it more accurately.
  6. Tap the blue upload button at the bottom of the screen and wait while the file is sent.
  7. You will be taken to the Review page where you can add a memo. See Section 5 for what to do next.

5. Reviewing and Submitting the Receipt

After you send a file, the system automatically reads the receipt and fills in the details for you. All you need to do is look it over and correct anything that looks wrong.

What You Will See on the Review Page

Don't worry about getting every field perfect
Your accountant can always correct the details after you submit. Just fill in what you know and click Submit.

The Buttons at the Bottom

On a Phone or Tablet

The Review page works the same way on a phone or tablet. A few things to keep in mind:

Review page
Review page — the system has already filled in most of the details
Submit and Submit & Classify buttons
Submit on the left, Submit & Classify on the right (when more drafts are waiting)

6. Sending Several Receipts at Once (Batch Mode)

If you have a stack of receipts to send, Batch Mode lets you send all of them first and then review them one by one. This is very handy when you have several receipts to submit at the end of the month.

How to Start a Batch

  1. Go to the Upload page as usual.
  2. Choose your receipt type and select your file.
  3. Before clicking the upload button, check the small box that says "Take Another."
  4. Click the upload button to send the first receipt.
  5. A blue "Batch Mode" bar will appear at the top of the page. This tells you that Batch Mode is on and shows how many receipts you have sent so far.
  6. The Upload page comes back right away — you do not have to wait. Each receipt keeps sending quietly in the background while you get the next one ready. Keep the "Take Another" box checked for each receipt.
  7. When you are done, you have two options: uncheck "Take Another" before uploading your last receipt, or click the "Done Uploading" button in the blue Batch Mode bar at the top of the page. Either way, the button waits until every receipt has finished sending — you may briefly see it say something like "Finishing 2 uploads…" — and then the system takes you to review your receipts.
Tip
You can send as many receipts as you need before you start reviewing. There is no limit.

The "Uploads" List

While you are in Batch Mode, a short Uploads list appears on the page with one line for each receipt you have sent. It tells you exactly where each one stands:

On a red line you will see two small buttons: Retry sends that receipt again, and Remove takes it off the list if you would rather send it later. "Done Uploading" will ask you to Retry or Remove any red lines before it moves you on to review.

Please wait for the list to finish
Receipts that are still sending — or that turned red — have not reached us yet. If you try to close the tab or leave the page while any of them are on the list, your browser will ask you to confirm first. Stay on the page until every line shows a green checkmark, and nothing gets lost.

Reviewing Your Batch

After your last file is sent, the system will take you to the Review page for the first receipt. At the top you will see a progress bar that says something like "Receipt 2 of 5."

  1. Review the details for each receipt and correct anything that looks wrong.
  2. Click "Submit & Classify" to send it to your accountant and move to the next receipt.
  3. Repeat until you have reviewed all receipts in your batch.

Batch Mode on a Phone or Tablet

Batch Mode is especially useful on a phone because you can quickly snap photos of several receipts in a row:

If You Need to Take a Break

If you need to step away before you have finished reviewing, that is fine. Your receipts are saved.

7. Viewing Your Receipts

Look for the badge and banner
If you have any drafts waiting to be classified, a badge next to "All Receipts" in the menu shows how many. A banner across the top of the page also links you directly to the next draft.

On a Computer

  1. Click "All Receipts" in the menu at the top of the page.
  2. You will see a list of all your receipts.
  3. Each row shows the date you sent it, the store name, the type, and the status.
  4. Use the filter bar at the top to narrow the list by status, type, or date range. Click "Apply" to update it, or "Clear" to see everything again.
  5. Click "View" on any row to see the full details.

On a Phone or Tablet

  1. Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top corner.
  2. Tap "All Receipts."
  3. You will see cards for each receipt. Tap any card to see the full details.

Understanding the Status Labels

Each receipt has a colored status label. Here is what each one means:

Label What it means
Draft You have sent the picture, but have not yet reviewed and submitted it. Draft receipts are numbered D-1, D-2, etc. You can delete a draft directly if you no longer need it.
Pending You have submitted the receipt and it is waiting for your accountant to record it. Submitted receipts are numbered T-1001, T-1002, etc. If you need to remove a pending receipt, you can request a deletion and your accountant will approve it.
Recorded Your accountant has reviewed and recorded this receipt in QuickBooks. No further action is needed from you.
Flagged Your accountant has a question about this receipt. Contact your accountant to find out what they need.
Deleted This receipt has been deleted. It stays visible in your list (shown in grey) so you have a record that it existed, but it will not be recorded by your accountant.

8. Viewing Receipt Details

  1. From "All Receipts," click or tap a receipt to view its details.
  2. You will see a picture of the receipt (or a link to view the PDF if you uploaded a PDF).
  3. For pictures: click or tap the image to make it larger. Click or tap again to go back to normal size.
  4. For PDFs: click or tap "Open PDF" to view the file in a new window.
  5. Below the image you will see the transaction number, type, status, and any other details the system read from your receipt.
Receipt detail page

Upload Another Receipt

At the bottom of the receipt detail page, you will find an "Upload Another Receipt" button. Click it to go straight back to the upload form without navigating through the menu.

Upload Another Receipt button

On a Phone or Tablet

On a smaller screen, the page is stacked vertically — the receipt image at the top and the details below.

Deleting a Draft Receipt

If a receipt shows a status of Draft (numbered D-1, D-2, etc.) and you want to remove it:

  1. Open the receipt detail page.
  2. Click or tap the "Delete" button.
  3. A warning will appear asking you to confirm. Click or tap "Confirm" to delete it.
Note
Deleting a draft receipt cannot be undone. If you delete it by mistake, you will need to send the receipt again.

Requesting Deletion of a Submitted Receipt

If a receipt shows a status of Pending (numbered T-1001, T-1002, etc.) and you need to remove it:

  1. Open the receipt detail page.
  2. Click or tap "Request Deletion."
  3. Your accountant will review and approve the deletion request.
Why the extra step?
Once you submit a receipt, it is part of your parish records. The extra step protects against accidental deletions and keeps your accountant informed.

9. Changing Your Password

  1. Click or tap your name in the top corner of the screen.
  2. Click or tap "Profile."
  3. Scroll down to the "Update Password" section.
  4. Type your current password.
  5. Type your new password.
  6. Type the new password again to confirm it.
  7. Click or tap "Save."
  8. You will see a message confirming that your password has been updated.

10. Updating Your Name or Email

  1. Click or tap your name in the top corner of the screen.
  2. Click or tap "Profile."

11. Logging Out

On a Computer

Click your name in the top corner of the screen, then click "Log Out."

On a Phone or Tablet

Tap the menu icon (☰), scroll down to the bottom of the menu, then tap "Log Out."

Tip
Always log out when you are finished using a shared or public computer. On your own personal device, it is fine to stay logged in.

12. Using Dark Mode

Dark mode changes the screen to use a dark background with light text. Some people find this easier on the eyes, especially in a dim room or at night.

On a Computer

Click your name in the top corner of the screen, then click "Dark Mode" to turn it on, or "Light Mode" to switch back.

On a Phone or Tablet

Tap the menu icon (☰), scroll down, then tap "Dark Mode" or "Light Mode."

13. Reviewing Check Runs (Signers & Trustees)

A check run is a batch of invoices that your accountant has grouped together for payment — either by check or by electronic bank transfer (ACH). At the end of each payment cycle, the check run is closed and becomes available for you to review.

This section is for users with a Signer or Trustee role. Regular uploaders do not see Check Runs in their menu.

How to Find Check Runs

On a Computer

  1. Log in to the portal. You will be taken to the signer portal automatically.
  2. In the navigation bar at the top, click Check Runs.

On a Phone or Tablet

  1. Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top corner to open the menu.
  2. Tap Check Runs.

Reading the Check Runs List

The Check Runs page shows all closed check runs organized by fiscal year. The most recent fiscal year is expanded at the top. Older fiscal years are collapsed — click or tap the row to expand them.

Each check run card shows:

Check Runs list
Check Runs list — fiscal years can be expanded or collapsed

Opening a Check Run

  1. Click or tap a check run card to open it.
  2. At the top you will see a summary: the number of vendors, the number of invoices, and the grand total.
  3. Below the summary, the run is split into two sections:
    • Checks — invoices paid by paper check, grouped by vendor. Each vendor group shows a subtotal.
    • ACH Payments — invoices paid by electronic transfer, listed individually (not grouped by vendor).
Check Run detail page
Check Run detail page — Checks grouped by vendor on top, ACH payments listed below

Viewing an Invoice

Each row in the check run table has a View link on the right. Click or tap it to open the original invoice or receipt in a new browser window (the file opens in OneDrive). This lets you verify the document matches the line item.

Tip
If a row shows "Unavailable" instead of a View link, the file has expired. The transaction record is still saved, but the original document is no longer stored. Contact your accountant if you need a copy.

14. Bank Reconciliations (Signers & Trustees)

Each month, your accountant prepares a bank reconciliation for each of your organization's bank accounts. The reconciliation compares the parish checkbook to the bank statement and confirms everything matches. You are asked to review and approve (sign off on) each reconciliation.

This section is for users with a Signer or Trustee role. Regular uploaders do not see Reconciliations in their menu.

How to Find Reconciliations

On a Computer

  1. In the navigation bar at the top, click Reconciliations.

On a Phone or Tablet

  1. Tap the menu icon (☰) and then tap Reconciliations.

Active vs. Archived Months

The Reconciliations page has two sections:

Each active month card shows how many accounts are ready to review and how many you have already signed.

Reconciliations list
Reconciliations page — active months at top, archived months grouped by fiscal year below

Opening a Month

Click or tap any month card to open it. You will see one card for each of your organization's bank accounts. Each card shows:

Viewing a Reconciliation PDF

  1. Open the month you want to review.
  2. On the account card, click or tap the "View Reconciliation" button. The PDF will open in a new browser window or tab.
  3. Review the reconciliation carefully. When you are ready to approve it, come back to this tab and click the "Sign as [Your Name]" button.
Tip
The "View Reconciliation" button only appears after your accountant has uploaded the PDF. If you see "No reconciliation uploaded yet," the document is not ready yet — check back later.

Signing (Approving) a Reconciliation

  1. After reviewing the PDF, click or tap the "Sign as [Your Name]" button on the account card.
  2. A confirmation box will appear, showing your name, the account name, and the month you are approving.
  3. Click or tap "Confirm Approval" to record your signature.
Note
Once you confirm your approval, it cannot be undone. If you approved something in error, contact your accountant.

The reconciliation is fully approved when both the Signer and the Trustee (or Cosigner) have signed. Once both parties sign, the month moves to the Archived section.

Reconciliation month detail page
Reconciliation month page — each account shows its status, who has signed, and a comments section

Adding Comments

Each account card includes a Comments section where you can leave notes for your accountant or the other signer. This is useful if you have a question about a specific account before you sign.

  1. Scroll down to the Comments section on the account card.
  2. Click or tap the comment box and type your note.
  3. Click or tap the "Comment" button to post it.

Editing and Deleting Comments

You can edit or delete your own comments as long as the reconciliation has not been fully approved by both parties yet.

Tip
Once both signers have approved a reconciliation, comments can no longer be edited or deleted. If you need to add a follow-up note after approval, contact your accountant directly.

15. Payment Methods (Check and ACH)

When you are reviewing an Invoice / Receipt on the classify page, you will see a Payment Method section. This tells your accountant how the invoice was or will be paid. There are two options: Check (default) and ACH.

What is ACH?
ACH stands for Automated Clearing House. It is how electronic bank transfers work — your bank sends money directly from your account to a vendor's account, without a paper check. Examples include automatic bill payments and direct transfers.

Choosing a Payment Method

The Payment Method radio buttons appear just below the "Pay From Account" field when you are classifying an invoice. Select whichever method applies:

Paid via Check (Default)

This is the default option. Select "Paid via Check" when the invoice will be or was paid by mailing or handing over a paper check. No additional information is needed.

Paid via ACH

Select "Paid via ACH" when the payment goes out electronically. When you select ACH, a Payment date field will appear to the right. You must enter the date the payment was (or will be) sent. This date is used to match the transaction to your bank statement.

ACH payment method selected with date field
When ACH is selected, a payment date field appears — fill this in before submitting

Credit Card Charges (Separate Upload Type)

If you are uploading a receipt for a credit card charge, use the Credit Card upload type on the Upload page instead of "Invoice / Receipt."

On the classify page for a Credit Card upload, you will see a Credit Card dropdown (instead of "Pay From Account"). Select the credit card the charge was made on, then fill in the rest of the details as usual.

Which type should I use?
  • Use Invoice / Receipt when you receive a bill that gets paid later (by check, ACH, or credit).
  • Use Credit Card when a parish credit card was swiped or used online for a purchase — the charge appears directly on a credit card statement.

On a Phone or Tablet

The Payment Method radio buttons appear in the same place on a phone as on a computer — just below the Pay From Account field. Scroll down if you do not see them right away. Tap a radio button to select it. When you select ACH, the date field will appear — tap it to open your phone's date picker.

16. Connecting QuickBooks (Organization Owners)

This section applies only to the organization owner (the person with the Signer role who manages the parish's QuickBooks Online account). Regular uploaders and Trustees do not need to do anything here.

Connecting QuickBooks Online allows your accountant to import your chart of accounts and department classes automatically, so you do not need to type them in by hand.

The First-Time Setup Page

If your organization is brand new to the portal, when you log in you may see a Welcome page instead of the usual portal. This page prompts you to connect your QuickBooks account.

QuickBooks connect setup page
The first-time setup page — the organization owner clicks "Connect to QuickBooks" to get started

Connecting Your QuickBooks Account

  1. Click or tap the "Connect to QuickBooks" button. You will be taken to the Intuit (QuickBooks) website.
  2. Sign in to QuickBooks Online with your email address and password. Make sure you sign in to the correct company if you manage more than one QuickBooks account.
  3. QuickBooks will ask you to confirm that you are allowing the portal to access your account information. Click "Connect."
  4. You will be brought back to the portal automatically. A "Thank you for linking your QuickBooks" message will appear to confirm that the connection was successful.
What happens next?
Your accountant will import your chart of accounts from QuickBooks. Once that is done, account and department dropdowns will appear on the classify page so you and your team can categorize receipts correctly. This usually takes a day or two.

After Connecting — The Thank You Page

Once connected, the setup page changes to show a confirmation message: "Thank you for linking your QuickBooks — we will have your new experience configured soon!" It also shows when the connection was made.

QuickBooks connected confirmation
After connecting — the page confirms that QuickBooks has been linked

Reconnecting from Your Profile Page

If your QuickBooks connection ever needs to be refreshed (for example, after a password change), you can reconnect it directly from your Profile page — you do not need to wait for the setup screen again.

  1. Click or tap your name in the top corner of the screen and select "Profile."
  2. Scroll down to the "QuickBooks Online" section.
  3. If it shows "Connected" with a date, the connection is active and no action is needed.
  4. If you need to reconnect, click the "Connect to QuickBooks" button and follow the same steps as above.
Only the organization owner can connect QuickBooks
The QuickBooks connection belongs to the organization, not to individual users. Only the primary Signer (owner) sees the Connect button. Trustees and regular uploaders do not see this option.

17. Financial Statements

If you are a signer or trustee, your accountant publishes monthly financial statements for your organization to review. You will find them under the "Financials" menu.

  1. Open the "Financials" menu at the top of the page.
  2. Click or tap "Financial Statements."
  3. Statements are grouped by month. Click one to view it, or download the PDF for your records.

18. Check Requests

Check requests let people at your organization ask for a payment to be made. They fill out a short form — sometimes from a link that does not require a login — and it comes to the designated approver and coder to handle. If your organization has given you one of those roles, you will see a "Check Requests" page under the "Financials" menu, with a badge showing how many are waiting on you.

If you are the approver

Open a request to review its details and attachment, then approve it to move it forward, or reject it if it should not be paid.

If you are the coder

Assign the account and class so your accountant knows how to record the payment, then save.

The public request link
Your organization has a shareable link people use to submit requests without logging in. If you ever need to retire an old link, you can rotate it from the Check Requests page to generate a fresh one.

19. SCRIP Gift Cards

SCRIP is a gift-card fundraising program that some organizations run: the organization buys gift cards at a discount and sells them to families at face value, keeping the difference. If your organization uses SCRIP and you have been given access, a "SCRIP" item appears under the "Financials" menu. It has four parts — Inventory, Purchases, Sales, and Deposits — and you can both view the records and enter new activity.

What each part shows

Recording a sale

  1. Open "SCRIP" from the "Financials" menu, then go to "Sales."
  2. Click "Record Sale" (or "New Sale").
  3. Choose the family or buyer, then add each gift card being sold and its amount.
  4. Save the sale. It is added to the current deposit so the money is accounted for.

Recording a purchase order

  1. Go to "Purchases" and click "New Purchase."
  2. Enter the order details, then add the cards it contains (retailer, denomination, and quantity).
  3. Save it. When the cards arrive, mark the order verified so they are added to inventory.

Reconciling inventory

Once a month, count the physical cards on hand and compare them to the "Inventory" screen. If the numbers match, the inventory is reconciled; if they do not, review recent sales and purchases to find the difference before your accountant closes the period.

Exporting a deposit report

Open any deposit from the "Deposits" tab and use the "Export Excel" or "Export PDF" button at the top of the page to download a report for your financial records. It lists the deposit's date, amounts, and every sale in it — including how each was paid (cash or check) and any check number.

Good to know
You handle the day-to-day data entry — sales, purchases, and the inventory count. Your accountant takes care of posting the totals into QuickBooks and closing each period, so you never need to worry about those steps.

20. Mass Stipends

The Mass Stipends page helps parishes track Mass intentions and what each priest has earned. If you have been given access, you will find "Mass Stipends" under the "Financials" menu. Work is organized one month at a time.

Managing the priest roster

  1. Open "Mass Stipends" from the "Financials" menu.
  2. Click "+ Add Priest" and enter the priest's name.
  3. Set the Stipend Offset for that priest. When the offset is on, the stipend is treated as parish revenue; when it is off, the priest is billed for it. If you are unsure which applies, ask your accountant.

Recording a month

  1. Choose the month you are recording.
  2. Enter the number of $20 Mass Intentions collected for the parish that month.
  3. For each priest, enter how many Mass Intentions they fulfilled, plus any bination or trination (a priest celebrating two or three Masses in one day at the same parish).
  4. The page totals up what each priest earned so it is ready for your accountant.
Good to know
You record the counts each month. Your accountant reviews the totals and posts the journal entry into QuickBooks, so you do not need to handle the bookkeeping side.

21. Uploading Other Documents

Sometimes you need to send your accountant a file that is not a receipt — a bank statement, a letter, or a signed form. Use the "Documents" page for these instead of the receipt uploader.

  1. Click or tap "Documents" in the menu at the top of the page.
  2. Choose the file from your computer or phone.
  3. Add a short description so your accountant knows what the file is.
  4. Upload it. The same file types (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, PDF) and 20 MB size limit as receipts apply.
Tip
Files uploaded on the Documents page are shared with your accountant but are not read by the system or turned into transactions. Send actual receipts through the "Upload Receipt" page.

22. Saved Profiles & Switching Accounts

If more than one person uses the same computer — or you have more than one account — the portal can remember each person so signing in is faster.

Tip
On a shared or public computer, always log out and remove your saved tile when you are finished.

23. Settings — Bill Allocations

Applies to organizations that share certain bills (for example, one utility bill split between a parish and its school).

A bill allocation is a saved percentage split across your organization's classes. Instead of re-typing the same split on every shared bill, save it once and it is applied for you.

  1. Open Settings in the top menu (next to your profile), pick the Bill Allocations tab, and choose "New Allocation."
  2. Name the allocation and list each class with its percentage. The percentages must add up to exactly 100% before you can save.
  3. Optionally enter a vendor name. Bills from that vendor are then split automatically when they are processed; your accountant can still adjust the result.
  4. You can also apply a split while reviewing a bill: on an invoice or credit-card receipt, open the Allocate Bill menu in the Line Items header and choose an allocation (or create a new one on the spot). A selection circle appears next to each line — check the lines to split, then choose Apply to selected lines. Only the checked lines divide; the others are untouched. The split lines stay editable; choose "None" to undo just those lines.
  5. To retire an allocation, edit it and un-check "Active" — bills that were already split keep their amounts.

24. Understanding Banners and Badges

As you use the portal, you will see colored bars and small badges that help you keep track of your receipts. Here is what each one means:

Draft banner at top of page
The gray banner appears when you have drafts waiting — click "Classify Now" to jump in
Draft count badge on All Receipts
The draft count badge appears in the menu next to "All Receipts"
Tip
The banners and badges disappear automatically once all your receipts have been reviewed and submitted.

25. Troubleshooting & Common Questions

I cannot log in.
Double-check that you are typing the correct email address and password. Make sure the Caps Lock key is not turned on. If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot password?" link on the login page (see Section 3). If you still cannot log in, contact your parish administrator.
I logged in but I do not see the Upload button.
Your account may not yet be connected to a parish organization. You may see a message that says "Account Setup Required." Contact your parish administrator to finish setting up your account.
My file will not upload.
Make sure your file is a supported type: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or PDF. The file must be under 20 MB. Check that you have an internet connection. Try refreshing the page and uploading again.
I sent the wrong file by mistake.
If the receipt still shows a status of Draft, you can delete it directly from the receipt detail page (see Section 8). If it shows Pending, you can request a deletion and your accountant will approve it. If it has already been marked Recorded, contact your accountant to correct it.
The system filled in the wrong vendor name or amount.
On the Review page (Section 5), you can click on the vendor name to change it. If the amount looks wrong, your accountant will be able to correct it when they record the receipt. You can also add a note in the Memo box to let them know.
I started a batch but need to take a break before finishing the reviews.
That is fine — just close the page or navigate away. When you come back, an amber bar at the top of the page will show you how many receipts are still waiting to be reviewed. Click it to pick up where you left off. You can even continue on a different computer or phone.
I see extra fields on the upload page that are not mentioned in this guide.
Some parishes have additional fields such as Expense Account or Department. If you are unsure what to select, ask your parish administrator.
My old receipt shows "File Expired" instead of the picture.
Files that are older than one year may be removed from storage. The record of your receipt is still saved, but the original picture or PDF is no longer available.
The page looks strange or broken.
Try refreshing the page by pressing F5 on your keyboard or tapping the refresh button in your browser. If that does not help, try a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox). You can also try clearing your browser's saved data (cache and cookies) — your administrator can help you with this if needed.
I do not see certain options that other people mention.
Features and options can vary depending on how your parish has configured the portal. Contact your parish administrator if you have questions about what is available to you.
