How to add legal entities and create billing groups (cost centers)?



Modified on: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 5:34 PM

Legal entities and billing groups allow you to structure your invoices in a flexible way, e.g. enabling you to split invoices by departments and sending them to different contacts.

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Click on Billing

Legal entities

This is your company collaborating with Remote People, e.g. "Virtual Ascension." as pictured below. Your first legal entity is set up automatically upon creating your account. You can set up multiple entities depending on your team and billing configuration.

 



Billing groups

Billing groups allow you to customise your invoices.

  • Invoices are assigned to a dedicated billing group

  • Each employee is associated with one billing group

  • Each month, the finance contact from the billing group receives an invoice for all employees in a Billing Group

  • Additional information set in the billing group (e.g. a PO number) will be displayed on the invoice

This allows you to group employees e.g. based on region or department and receive a separate invoice for each billing group.
