Features
Everything you need to file on time
From quarterly reports for standing committees to large-contribution filings, campaign closeouts, and everything in between — Blue Comet guides Virginia campaigns and committees through every schedule.
ActBlue Import
Connect your ActBlue account and pull contribution data directly into Schedule A — with proper itemization and election-year running totals.
CSV & Manual Entry
Upload CSV files or enter contributions, receipts, and expenses by hand. Flexible data entry that fits how your campaign or committee already works.
Receipt OCR
Photograph receipts or bank statements and let smart OCR extract expense details for Schedule D — less typing, fewer errors.
Carry-Forward
Start from a prior Blue Comet report or upload existing COMET XML to carry forward Schedules G and H balances and cumulative donor totals.
Pay Per Report
No subscriptions or monthly fees. Pay $250 when you're ready to generate your report — build and review your data for free until then.
