How to View and Download Your Invoice

Introduction

Managing invoices is an essential part of maintaining transparency and financial control. At ALCO USA Inc., we make this process simple and secure through the ALCO Vault, powered by QuickBooks Online. This article explains how to view and download your invoices, why it matters, and best practices for keeping your records organized.

Why Accessing Your Invoice Matters

Invoices are more than payment requests—they are official records of services rendered and compliance documentation. Having quick access ensures:

• Financial clarity for budgeting and expense tracking
• Proof for tax deductions and audits
• Documentation for resolving billing disputes

When Invoices Are Sent

• Recurring Clients: Invoices are issued on the first day of each month for managed service plans
• One-Time Projects: Invoices are generated immediately upon project completion
• Non-Member Clients: Invoices are issued at the time of service delivery

This predictable schedule helps you plan payments and avoid late fees.
