What's wrong with Google Sheets or a shared workbook?

Shared spreadsheets work right up until you need to attach a receipt, track approvals, or produce a written report. They're a great calculator and a poor system of record for grant evidence.

Can multiple people collaborate in Quittal?

Yes — invite your treasurer, program lead and auditor. Everyone sees the same live expenditure statement with role-based access.

Does Quittal handle different funder templates?

Yes. Upload your funding agreement and a sample grant report, and Quittal maps your budget and produces the report in the exact structure your funder expects.

Can I keep using a spreadsheet alongside Quittal?

Of course. Quittal exports clean CSVs at any time, so your spreadsheets stay useful for forecasting and board reporting.

Quittal vs Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets weren't built for grant reports.

Google Sheets, Excel and Numbers are brilliant calculators — but they can't extract receipts, store evidence, or write the report your funder is waiting for.

Receipts uploaded once, linked everywhere
Live reconciliation against your funding budget
Funder-ready written grant report, not just numbers
