Smartbills asks which fund the money comes from when someone submits an expense and keeps the receipt with it, ready to show a funder.
Every expense tagged to a fund
Each expense records the fund it draws on and whether it's program, admin or fundraising. Both questions go to the person who made the purchase, because they're the one who knows.
- Restricted and unrestricted funds kept apart from day one
- Program, admin and fundraising split on every expense
- Grant reference stored on the expense itself
Grant reports that are ready when you are
Since the fund and category were recorded with each expense, a grant report or your annual program ratio is a filter on your records rather than a rebuild.
- Spending by fund and by grant, always current
- Program ratio measured all year
- Receipts attached for any funder question
Why teams switch
Spending it right is easy. Proving it to funders isn't.
We spend restricted money exactly as we should, but proving it to the funder is hard.
The fund is recorded with the expense and the receipt stays attached. You can show restrictions were respected instead of vouching for it from memory.
We work out our program-to-admin split once a year, just in time for the annual report.
Each expense is marked program, admin or fundraising as it comes in, which keeps the ratio current all year and lets you open any line behind it.
Grant reporting means a finance volunteer rebuilding a spreadsheet the week it's due.
Spending by fund and by grant is always up to date, and when a funder asks a follow-up question you can pull up the invoice behind the number.
