Do you have a pile of receipts on your desk waiting for reimbursement? Isn’t that pile the last thing you want to deal with?
Expense reimbursements are a pain. Employees are out and about incurring a variety of expenses. Everything from meals to mileage to hotel rooms to court filing fees needs to be accounted for and reimbursed.
Receipts come in all shapes and sizes, and they pile up everywhere. They frustrate employees and employers. We need a quick, easy, cheap solution that works for everyone.
Expensify is that solution.
I just got back from a quick trip to our Charlotte office. Upon my return, I had a hotel receipt, a couple of meal receipts, and receipts for drinks at gas stations, mileage, and tips. The receipts are wrinkled and some of them seem to be missing from the pile. Nightmare.
Expensify solves my problem. Instead of saving receipts, I can shoot a picture of them as I get them and upload the photo to Expensify. I don’t need to save the paper. I can ball it up and drop it in the trash.
I arrive at home with no pile to unpack. My receipts are all waiting for me right on my computer screen.
I log into Expensify, enter each expense, and attach the already uploaded receipt.
I then gather the expenses into a report and click the “submit” button. I’m done.
On the other end, our bookkeeper gets the report with itemized expenses and receipts attached. She can quickly approve the report, import the amount to QuickBooks, and submit my reimbursement check to our bill-paying service. It’s easy for me, it’s easy for her, and the reimbursement is on its way to my bank account.
Expensify offers all sorts of management reports, integrations with other products, and mobile apps for most platforms.
You can skip the whole receipt thing by linking your credit card, and the whole process is paperless so you won’t be killing any trees. It supplies unlimited storage so you’ll have a permanent archive of your expenses for your personal accounting and as documentation for tax purposes.
If you’re only using Expensify for personal use, it’s free. Once you bring the whole firm online, you’ll pay $5 per submitter per month. Our experience with Expensify has been totally positive. We’re using it, and we’re happy customers.
