Does anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to file invoices that are received? I'm working for a small single owner business with absolutely no filing system. I have started just filing the invoices (after they are paid) by the expense (materials, supplies). The problem that I'm running into is, if I'm looking for a specific invoice I need to look through the entire file and it's taking way too long. We have way too many vendors to set up a file for each one. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

That is the beauty of a good filing system, a file for each one. You can't keep track of it any other way. Doing it by materials/supplies is not the way to it, you would have to cross reference everything.

File by company name then by materials and supplies according to what you purchased from them.
