Can you trust the numbers in Zoho Invoice?
Zoho Invoice is invoicing software for small businesses and freelancers to create and send invoices and collect payments. Its own help pages give 3 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: Sales can be counted when invoiced rather than when money arrives, as Zoho's help pages say, so a report can differ from the bank balance.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
