Financial Documents

Organize budgets, receipts, ledgers, and financial records in a secure folder system — with optional student links and expiration dates.

Overview

This section is a full document manager for financial files. A folder tree appears on the left; create folders and upload files on the right. Files can optionally be linked to a student and given an expiration date (useful for receipts, certifications, and annual forms).

Default Folder Structure

When you first open this page, FireSafe creates:

You can rename or delete any folder except the top-level “Financial Documents” folder. Folders can be nested.

Creating Folders

Use Create New Folder on the right. The new folder is created under the folder you are currently viewing.

Uploading Files

Choose a file, optionally associate it with a student, optionally set an expiration date, then click Upload File. A progress bar shows upload status.

Student Association (optional)

When uploading, you can link the file to a specific student in the program. The student name appears next to the file in the list. Useful for individual receipts, commitment forms, or student-specific paperwork.

Expiration Date (optional)

Set an expiration date for documents that renew (background checks, certifications, annual forms, etc.). Expired dates are highlighted in red in the file list.

Allowed file types

pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt, jpg, jpeg, png, tif, tiff, csv, tsv

Uploaded files count against your subscription’s data allowance (in addition to database storage).

Best Practices

  • Keep receipts and supporting documents organized by fundraiser or budget category.
  • Use consistent naming (e.g. “2026_Cookie_Dough_Receipt_Batch1”).
  • Link student-specific paperwork when you upload it so it is easy to find later.
  • Set expiration dates on forms that renew so expired items stand out in red.
  • Store budget ledgers and booster reports in their designated subfolders for easy auditing.
