Customize the AdvicePay experience for your firm's clients by replacing our logo with your own business logo!
Your custom logo will replace:
- Our logo in the upper left hand corner of AdvicePay for both you and all clients firm-wide
- The large "INVOICE - #" header on all client invoices firm-wide (including those already issued)
- Our logo in emails to all clients firm-wide
To get started, head on over to Firm Settings > Company.
1. Under Firm Logo, drag and drop your logo into the upload box, or click the box to bring up an upload window and select a file from your computer.
Accepted File Types: JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG | Size Limit: 1 MB
Tip: Need to make adjustments to your logo in order to upload it? You might try an online editor like Canva or Pixlr! To reduce your file size, you can use an image compression website like TinyJPG.
2. Use the Finalize Logo controls to crop and/or resize the logo if necessary by zooming in or out so that it fits within the rectangle selection box.
Note that you can make the selection box larger or smaller as well:

When you request a subscription payment, you will see the default invoice date ranges looking forward or backward based on your settings here.
Updates to this setting will change the date range on future subscriptions that you issue. It will not change the date range on historical invoices.
You also have the option to individually adjust whether a subscription should bill in advance or arrears during the payment request process!
