Invoices by spreadsheet
Invoices, deposits and balances live in spreadsheets and docs, so numbers drift and versions conflict.
Certified Zoho Partner
Every invoice.
Every payment.
One ledger on Zoho Books.
Elite Tech Global sets up Zoho Books as the finance engine for your US travel agency, host agency, advisor network or tour operation. Raise invoices, take deposits and balances, collect card and ACH payments, track supplier commissions and net rates, handle multi-currency and reconcile to a real-time view of cash, without a single spreadsheet.

The finance problem
Growth outgrew your spreadsheets. The money got messy.
As your agency adds advisors, suppliers and currencies, invoicing by spreadsheet starts to leak. These are the finance pains that quietly cost US agencies margin every week.
Payments chased by hand
No automated reminders, so deposits and balances are chased by email and cash arrives late.
Slow, manual invoicing
Every invoice is retyped from the booking. No standard template across flights, hotels, tours or cruise.
Double entry to finance
The same booking is retyped from the CRM into accounting, so errors and rework pile up at month end.
Commissions leak
Supplier commissions, overrides and net rates are tracked by hand, so earned income is missed or written off.
Multi-currency mess
Suppliers bill in one currency and clients pay in another, so conversions and gains are reconciled by hand.
Net rates untracked
Net rate against sell price is not tracked per booking, so you cannot see the true profit on a trip.
No view of cash
No dashboard for cash, receivables or overdue balances. Decisions run on the bank feed, not real data.
Messy reconciliation
Bank, card and ACH deposits are matched by hand, so reconciliation drags and the books close late.
Quote to cash
Six stages from quote to cash. Each finance pain, solved in Zoho Books.
Follow a booking from an approved quote to reconciled cash. Left is the finance pain today. Right is what Zoho Books does about it.
Stage 01 · Pain
Quote
A traveler accepts your quote, but the numbers live in a document. Turning that quote into a proper invoice means retyping every line by hand.
Zoho fix
Books quotation to invoice
Zoho Books turns an approved quote into a branded invoice in one click, with line items for flights, hotels, tours and transfers and the right tax on every line.
- Reusable invoice templates per service line
- One click from quote to invoice, no retyping
Zoho BooksInvoices
Stage 02 · Pain
Invoice
Invoices go out as static PDFs. There is no online payment link, no tax logic and no clear record of what was sent to whom.
Zoho fix
Branded e-invoices
Books sends branded e-invoices with a secure payment link, correct US sales tax and automatic numbering, so every bill is clean, trackable and professional.
- Automatic invoice numbering and tax
- Client portal to view and pay online
Zoho BooksClient Portal
Stage 03 · Pain
Deposit
Trips are booked on a deposit with a balance due later, but part payments and due dates are tracked in a side spreadsheet that no one trusts.
Zoho fix
Deposits and payment plans
Books records the deposit against the invoice, schedules the balance and shows exactly what is paid and what is still due on every booking.
- Part payments and retainers on account
- Scheduled balance with clear due dates
DepositsRetainers
Stage 04 · Pain
Collect
Balances are chased by email and paid by check or bank transfer, so cash arrives late and someone reconciles every payment by hand.
Zoho fix
Online card and ACH
Clients pay by card or ACH straight from the invoice through Stripe. Payments post to Books automatically and the balance clears itself.
- Online card and ACH payment links
- Auto reminders on upcoming and overdue balances
StripeACHPayments
Stage 05 · Pain
Commission
Supplier commissions, overrides and net-rate margin are worked out in spreadsheets, so earned income is missed and payouts are hard to verify.
Zoho fix
Commission and net rates
Books tracks net rate against sell price on every booking, records supplier commission as it is earned and shows true margin per trip, advisor and supplier.
- Net rate against sell price per booking
- Commission earned, received and reconciled
CommissionsNet rates
Stage 06 · Pain
Reconcile
Bank, card and ACH deposits are matched to invoices by hand at month end, and multi-currency gains are guessed, so the books close late.
Zoho fix
Reconcile and report
Books matches bank and payment feeds to invoices, handles multi-currency automatically and gives Analytics a live view of cash, receivables and profit.
- Automated bank and payment reconciliation
- Multi-currency and real-time cash reporting
