Invoice2go is a mobile and browser-based invoicing service with estimates, invoices, payments, clients, expenses, projects and business reports. This independent guide is not affiliated with Invoice2go or BILL.

Existing users can sign in through Invoice2go’s verified account page. For reporting work, the main task is to distinguish invoice totals, recorded payments, outstanding balances and actual bank deposits before sending figures to an accountant or using them for business decisions.

What Invoice2go reports are for

Invoice2go reports help a business review activity already recorded inside the account. Users can examine information connected with invoices, payments, expenses and clients, switch between graph and table views, and export a selected reporting period.

These reports are useful for routine questions:

How much was invoiced during a period? Which customers still owe money? What expenses were entered? How do recent results compare with an earlier period?

They do not answer every accounting question automatically.

An invoice can exist without being paid. A payment can be recorded manually without creating a bank transaction. A processor may deduct fees before sending a deposit. A refund can reduce the final amount retained by the business.

Read each number according to what it represents.

Start with the correct Invoice2go login

The verified Invoice2go account page is hosted at account.2go.com. It contains the Email, Password and Forgot password? controls used by existing subscribers.

Invoice2go also directs computer users to the login option on its main website. The web application is especially relevant for reporting and account-administration tasks.

Use the original account email.

A second registration may create a valid but empty account with none of the established clients, invoices, payments or reports. Someone who reaches a blank dashboard should check the original sign-in method before rebuilding records.

For a forgotten password, use the recovery control on the verified page. Invoice2go’s login troubleshooting begins by checking the entered password and resetting it when necessary.

Do not share credentials, card information or authentication codes with an unofficial support page.

Choose the reporting period before reading the result

A report is only meaningful when its date range matches the question being asked.

Invoice2go allows users to drill into a report, view the result as a graph or table, and export data for the selected time frame.

A seven-day report may help with weekly cash collection. A calendar-month view may suit management review. A financial-year range may be more useful for an accountant.

Do not compare mismatched periods.

For example, comparing one full month with the first 18 days of another can create an apparent decline even when daily activity is similar. The software can display the values correctly while the comparison itself remains misleading.

My first priority would be setting the exact start and end dates. Skip interpreting the graph until the period has been confirmed.

Invoiced revenue is not the same as money received

An invoice records an amount billed to a customer. It does not prove that payment reached the business.

Invoice2go supports full and partial payment records. For a partial payment, users enter the amount, payment method, payment date and optional notes. The invoice then retains a remaining balance.

This creates at least three separate figures:

The original invoice total, the amount recorded as paid and the unpaid balance.

A $1,000 invoice with a recorded $300 payment is not a $300 invoice. It remains a $1,000 sale document with $700 outstanding.

The bank record adds another layer. A manually entered cash or check payment changes the Invoice2go invoice status, but it does not independently establish that the money was deposited.

Reconcile both systems.

Manual payment entries require evidence

Invoice2go’s web partial-payment path begins by opening the invoice, choosing Preview or Send, selecting Add payment, and entering the transaction details. Mobile users select Record payment from the invoice.

The entry should match the real transaction.

Use the actual date, amount and payment method. Do not record a promised transfer as received merely because the customer says it has been sent.

A manual entry may be necessary for cash, checks or an external bank payment. It should still be supported by a deposit slip, bank entry, receipt or another appropriate record.

Short rule: verify first.

Incorrect manual entries can make reports look healthier than the business’s actual cash position.

Online payment timing can affect reconciliation

Invoice2go offers several online payment options, and its official support material states that fees and deposit times vary by the payment method accepted.

This means the invoice amount and the bank deposit may differ.

A customer might pay the full invoice, while the processor transfers a smaller net amount after deducting the applicable fee. The payment can also appear in Invoice2go before final settlement reaches the connected bank.

When reconciling, compare:

The gross customer payment, processing charge, refund or adjustment, and net deposit.

Do not force the bank deposit to equal the invoice total when a documented fee explains the difference.

My second priority would be matching each deposit to its gross transaction and fee. Skip treating every difference as missing revenue.

Use table view when the graph hides detail

Graphs are useful for patterns. Tables are better for checking exact amounts.

Invoice2go lets users move between graph and table views after drilling into a report. The export control is available from the same reporting area.

A graph can show that invoicing increased during a month. It may not immediately reveal that one large customer created most of the change.

The table can expose individual values and make it easier to identify outliers, duplicate entries or a period with unusually high expenses.

Use both views.

Start with the graph for direction, then switch to the table before making a financial conclusion.

Export reports for review outside Invoice2go

Invoice2go’s report-export tool sends a copy of the selected report for the chosen time frame.

An export is useful for:

Sharing figures with a bookkeeper, reviewing records in a spreadsheet, retaining a period-end copy or comparing Invoice2go totals with another system.

Save the file with a descriptive name that includes the report type and date range. “Report.csv” becomes difficult to identify after several months. A name such as “Sales-report-2026-06” is easier to track.

Store exports securely.

They may contain customer names, transaction amounts and other business information. Avoid leaving them in an unrestricted shared folder or forwarding them through an unnecessary number of email accounts.

A client statement answers a different question

A client statement summarizes documents associated with one customer. Invoice2go enables statements once multiple invoices are linked to that client. Customers can also choose to pay invoices directly from a statement.

A statement is useful when a customer asks, “What do I still owe?”

A company report answers a broader question such as, “How much did the business invoice this quarter?”

Do not substitute one for the other.

The client statement should be reviewed for the correct invoices, credits and balances before sending. The business report should be reviewed for the correct date range and transaction basis.

Different document. Different purpose.

Recurring invoices can distort a careless report review

Invoice2go supports recurring invoices for repeat work or customers.

Automation saves re-entry, but it can also create invoices after a service changes, a contract ends or a customer pauses work.

A report may therefore show properly generated invoices that should never have been issued.

Review recurring schedules whenever a customer relationship changes. Do not assume that every invoice in the report represents completed work merely because the software created it successfully.

The document can be technically valid inside the application and commercially wrong.

Estimates should not be counted as completed sales

Invoice2go estimates can contain a client, items, descriptions, rates and quantities. Customers can also be asked to approve an estimate before payment or invoicing continues.

An estimate is proposed work. It is not automatically revenue.

A customer may approve it, decline it or never respond. Even an approved estimate may later change before the final invoice is issued.

Keep estimates separate from sent invoices and received payments when reviewing performance.

This is one reason a simple count of documents can mislead. Ten estimates, six invoices and four payments describe three different stages of business activity.

Deposit requests need separate tracking

Invoice2go allows an estimate deposit request to use either a percentage or fixed amount, include selected payment methods and carry a due date.

The deposit should be interpreted as part of the customer’s payment history, not as a second sale on top of the eventual invoice.

When an estimate deposit is marked paid, check how that amount is reflected after the estimate moves into the invoice workflow. Invoice2go documents a separate process for marking estimate deposits as paid, including a limitation for Android when online payments are not enabled.

A deposit that is counted once at receipt and again as part of a full invoice payment can overstate cash collection.

Trace the transaction from estimate to final invoice.

Plan selection affects reporting access

Invoice2go currently advertises Starter, Professional and Premium plans. Its pricing page lists different invoice allowances, processing percentages and feature levels.

The visible comparison should be checked at the time of purchase because pricing and feature details can change.

A business choosing a plan for reporting should ask:

Does the tier include the required reports? Is the invoice allowance sufficient? Are accounting integrations needed? What payment fee applies to expected volume?

Do not purchase solely from the lowest displayed monthly amount.

A cheaper tier can become unsuitable when document volume, reporting needs or processing costs rise.

Reports are not tax returns

Invoice2go reports can support bookkeeping and tax preparation. They are not a substitute for applying the correct tax law, classification or filing method.

For UK customers, Invoice2go documents specific Making Tax Digital compatible versions of its Sales and Expense reports. That feature is expressly identified as UK-only.

US users should not assume that a feature designed for UK tax administration applies to IRS filing.

Likewise, an exported sales figure may still require adjustments for refunds, uncollectible invoices, processor fees, cash-versus-accrual accounting and other factors.

The applicable treatment varies by jurisdiction and accounting method. Use the report as source data, then apply the relevant rules with qualified help where necessary.

Review records before cancelling

Invoice2go provides subscription management through the web account under Account & settings and Manage subscription.

Before ending a subscription, export important reports and business records.

Confirm that the selected files cover the necessary periods and that they open correctly outside Invoice2go. Do not wait until access is restricted to discover that one year or one report type was omitted.

Subscription cancellation, data export and tax record retention are separate tasks.

Finish the export first.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Invoice2go login?

Use the verified account page at account.2go.com.

Can Invoice2go export reports?

Yes. Reports can be exported for the selected time frame.

Can I view reports as a table?

Yes. Invoice2go supports graph and table views.

Does an invoice count as money received?

No. An invoice records an amount billed. Payment must be recorded and reconciled separately.

Can Invoice2go record partial payments?

Yes. Users can enter the payment amount, method, date and notes, leaving the remaining balance on the invoice.

Why is my bank deposit lower than the invoice?

A processing fee may have been deducted, or only part of the invoice may have settled. Invoice2go says online transaction fees and deposit times vary by payment method.

Can a customer pay through a client statement?

Yes, when multiple invoices are associated with the client and the applicable payment options are available.

Are Invoice2go reports enough to file taxes?

Not by themselves. Reports provide account data, while tax treatment depends on jurisdiction, accounting method and applicable filing rules.
