Approve Vendors without a W-9, Client Resources Available on Projects, and Email Filters
We released several improvements this past week:
- W-9 no longer required to approve a vendor in the 1099 and W-9 Preparationreport
- Resources added to a client can easily be added to a project
- New filters to see emails pinned to projects at the client level
W-9 No Longer Required
We received a lot of feedback from our Facebook community that it would be beneficial to approve a vendor in the
1099 and W-9 Preparation
report without
uploading a W-9 (for example, the W-9 was already available in QuickBooks Online or stored in a separate system). As a result, we no longer require a W-9 to be provided when approving a vendor 🎉 We hope this helps with the 1099 preparation season!
Client Resources Available on Projects
Previously, resources that had been added on the client level were not accessible at the project level, meaning that if you wanted to add a client resource to a project, you had to locate the desired resource on the client then copy and paste the information over.
With this improvement, when you click to add a resource to a
project
, we show a dropdown so you can either select an existing resource from the client profile or create a new resource for the project altogether. 
Email Filters at the Client Level
Previously, you could only see emails pinned to the client on the
Client Details
page. Now, we've added additional filtering so that you can see:- Emails auto-pinned to the client (like before)
- Emails pinned to open projects
- Emails pinned to closed projects

This should improve visibility of emails related to either your client directly or work being done for your client.
We released several enhancements and new items recently:
- Bulk copy Project FilestoClient Files(as well as bulk delete)
- A longer, built-in timeframe for the Unbilledreport
- Brand colors available on invoices and proposals
- API for creating, viewing, editing, and deleting Client Files
Bulk Copy and Delete
Project Files
You can now bulk select and then copy
Project Files
to Client Files
from the Files
tab on projects!
This increase the efficiency of managing files on projects as you can now click to select the documents you want to keep in your
Client Files
and copy them over. No more having to download and then reupload Project Files
!Additionally, you can also bulk select and then delete
Project Files
so that you can easily discard any no-longer-needed items. "Last 3 Years" Option on
Unbilled
ReportWe've added an additional time span option to the
Unbilled
report to make it easier to select the last 3 years worth of unbilled time entries.
That way, you can more readily view a larger span of time to ensure that you've accounted for historical, unbilled time entries when creating invoices.
Brand Colors on Proposals and Invoices
Now, the colors on invoice and proposal PDFs will match the
Brand Color
selected for your account under Settings > Company
so that you can maintain consistent branding on client-facing documents.
API for Creating, Viewing, Editing, and Deleting
Client Files
Lastly, we released another new API. Now, there is a public endpoint available to create, edit, view, or delete files and folders in the
Client Files
section. For more information on this API, see our API documentation here!improved

Month End Close
API
"Next Task Due Date" Column, Bulk Hide Transactions, Signature Request Improvement, and Invoice Details API
We released several enhancements this week!
- "Next Task Due Date" Column on Workflows
- Bulk Hide Transactions in Month End Close reports
- Improvements to Client Signature Requests on Client Tasks
- API for the Invoice Detailspage
"Next Task Due Date" Column
You can now see the due date of the next, incomplete task directly from the
Workflow > Projects
dashboard.
This makes it easier to, at a glance, see what projects have a task with an upcoming deadline.
As a quick tip/reminder, you can modify which columns display in the
Workflow > Projects
page via the gear icon in the top right corner.
You can use this gear icon to display (or hide) the "Next Task Due Date" column for your view (as well as place columns in your preferred order).
Bulk Hide Transactions in Month End Close reports
We heard your feedback from chatting into our support team, and we brought back the functionality to bulk hide transactions from the Month End Close reports!
To hide one or more transactions, click the checkbox to select the desired items, and then click "Bulk Hide".

This will remove the selected transactions from all reports as well as remove them from the client portal without modifying the transaction within QuickBooks Online. As a note, you can view (and unhide) hidden transactions via the "Hidden" tab, if needed.
Improvements to Client Signature Requests on Client Tasks
Previously, if you sent a document for signature to a client via a client task, clients were still able to mark the task as "Complete" even if they hadn't signed the document yet.
Now, we disable the "Complete" checkbox on client tasks where a signature is requested and mark it complete on behalf of the client once the file is actually signed.

This prevents clients from marking signature tasks as "done" when no signature has yet been provided!
API for the
Invoice Details
pageLastly, we released yet another new API. Now, you can use our endpoint to access the details of an invoice, like what can be found on the
Invoice Details
page. For more information on this API, see our API documentation here!new

1099 and W-9 Preparation Report and More Sticky Headers!
We released several exciting features this week!
- 1099 and W-9 Preparation reports as part of the Month End Close feature
- Sticky headers on the Clients dashboard and the Tasks page
- API for listing all Client Tasks
1099 and W-9 Preparation Report
As part of our Month End Close feature, we've released a brand new report!
This new report helps you do the following:
- Pull in a list of vendors from QuickBooks Online
- If needed, modify filters and exclude transactions to narrow down the list of vendors needing a 1099
- Request for W-9s directly from the vendor or your client
- Make edits to the vendor details in Financial Cents and push those changes back to QuickBooks Online
We're super excited about this new report and hope it will help alleviate some of the 1099 season frustration!
⭐To learn more about this feature (and receive a

Based on your feedback, we implemented more sticky headers in Financial Cents!

Now both the
Clients > Dashboard
page and the Workflow > Tasks
page have headers that stick so that you can always see the column labels when scrolling through the table.Client Tasks API
Lastly, we released another new API so that third party developers can grab a list of Client Tasks from Financial Cents. For more information on this API, see our API documentation here!

✨Month End Close: Transaction Review✨ and Sticky Headers
We released two items of note this week:
- Month End Close: Transaction Review reports
- Sticky Headers on the Workflowtable
Month End Close: Transaction Review
Our first set of
Month End Close
reports are now live!With our Month End Close: Transaction Review reports, you can:

Edit Recurring Invoices, Project Notes, Client Upload Improvements, and More!
We've released several new features and enhancements to existing features over the past weeks:
- Ability to edit recurring invoices
- Notes on projects
- Display client uploads on Client Tasks on the Filestab
- Additional information and filtering on the Workflow > Taskspage
- Partial payments for Firm Users
Edit Recurring Invoices
Previously, if you wanted to edit a recurring invoice, you had to delete the invoice altogether and then recreate it. Now, you have the option to edit the recurrence from the Client Details under the
Billing
tab.
This makes it easier to keep recurring invoices up to date with pricing changes, additional services, etc.
Project Notes
Within each project, you now have the ability to add any notes relevant to that specific project for use by your team.

Within the notes, you can:
- Bold, underline, strikethrough, and italicize text
- Insert links
- Create headers
- Make lists
- Make tables
- And more!
Additionally, if you have a recurring project, the notes on the previous project will carry over onto the newly created project so that your team always has access to the most up-to-date notes.
Lastly, you have the ability to control which types of team members can make edits to notes under the permission called
Edit Project Notes
found on the User Permissions
page.Client Upload Improvements
One piece of feedback we've heard is that it's challenging to access client uploads on Client Tasks. As a first step towards improving this experience, we now display files uploaded by clients on the
Files
tab of the project. 
Additionally, if you need to quickly view the task itself, you can click the three ellipses on the file and choose
View Task
.
In a future release, we plan on adding bulk actions in the
Files
tab, too -- stay tuned!Additional Information in the
Task
ViewWe've made a few changes to the
Task
view:- The Projectscolumn now includes tags and the accounting period
- When viewing Completed tasks, the completion date now has its own column so that you can sort by this data
- The Due Datefilter now allows for custom date range selection

This gives your firm more customization of this view so that you can tailor it to suite your needs.
Partial Payments for Firm Users
After our initial release of the partial payments feature, we received feedback that
firm users
would like the ability to make partial payments on invoices, regardless of if clients
are allowed to make partial payments. As a result, you can now click
Make a Payment
on an invoice, and select a partial amount to apply (be it a manual payment, CC payment, or ACH payment).

More Client Audit Log Events and Ability to See Grouped Items on Invoices
We released two enhancements this past week:
- More events in the Client Audit Log
- A button on the Invoice Detailspage so that you can always review grouped line items
More Events in the
Client Audit Log
Now you'll be able to see whenever a client:
- Previews a file you shared with them
- Downloads a file you shared with them

As a friendly reminder, you can access the
Client Audit Log
by clicking Actions
and then Client Audit Log
within a project.See Grouped Items on Invoices
We've added an icon to the
Invoice Details
page on grouped line items so that you can quickly review grouped item details without
having to edit the invoice itself:
Additionally, this also makes it possible to review grouped items after the invoice has been paid, enabling the review of historical data.

Improvements to Sending Draft Invoices
This week, we improved the experience when sending out draft invoices!
From the main
Billing > Invoices
page, you now have the ability to quickly send one invoice via the ellipses menu (vs. having to click into the invoice to edit it before sending):
OR you can send multiple draft invoices in bulk by selecting the relevant invoices and clicking
Send Draft Invoice
:
This reduces the number of clicks needed to send out invoices once they've been finalized by you/your team.
