# Can AccountsOS issue an NF-e or NFS-e?

**Quick answer:** No. AccountsOS does not issue NF-e, NFC-e or NFS-e, and a PDF invoice from AccountsOS is not a legal Brazilian fiscal document. You issue the legal document through the SEFAZ, the city, the national NFS-e issuer or your provider, and AccountsOS keeps the books.

## Detailed explanation

## The rules

Sales of goods are invoiced with the NF-e (or the NFC-e for retail sales to consumers), authorised by the state SEFAZ. Services are invoiced with the NFS-e, now on the national standard. Simples Nacional companies must use the national NFS-e issuer from 1 November 2026.

## What AccountsOS does

- Records each fiscal document you issue and tracks it until it is paid.
- Matches the payment in your bank feed.
- Reads supplier documents you send (the PDF copy or the DANFE) for review.

## What it does not do

It does not issue NF-e, NFC-e or NFS-e, and it sends nothing to a SEFAZ, a city or the national NFS-e environment.

## Common mistakes to avoid

- Sending a client a PDF invoice instead of the NFS-e

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a PDF from AccountsOS valid?

No. Only the NF-e or NFS-e is.

### Does Finn read supplier documents?

Yes, for review, as with any document you send.

## Practical tips

- Send Finn each NFS-e you issue so the books stay complete
