Do you want one to keep track of personal expenses or is this for a business? I briefly used the app from Mint.com. It seemed like a good one. I never got into a good habit of tracking my expenses so I stopped using it. Business. My work requires a significant amount of travel, and the accountants are raising $100.00 worth of hell with me about. Keep records of travel/business expenses. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

That's what I do now, she says it's no longer acceptable just to turn in receipts and I need to do as a minimum do monthly reports..... I'm thinking she want to make her job easier.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile So your company wants you to file Expense reports, but won't give you the template or any directions? Deems like she's playing you Just fire up Excel and download an Expense Report Template, cell phone apps seem nice, but they're a pain in the ass. Easier to just sit down once a week and tally it all up.

Quoted: I use one called "Expense Manager". It's easy to use and so far works well for me. Some of our folks are using this. We have web-based reporting that they should be using, but some of the folks use this then ship it off to an office assistant to enter it for them. |

Deems like she's playing you Just fire up Excel and download an Expense Report Template, cell phone apps seem nice, but they're a pain in the ass. Easier to just sit down once a week and tally it all up. When i said small company, what I mean is, it's me... A guy I hired to "run the office" doing sales, marketing, contractor qualification forms, keeping up with the insurance... The business side of a business. Stuff.... And the little old lady doing 20 hrs per week of accounts receivable, accounts payable, pay roll, taxes, and the day to day stuff, then the actual accountant who does quarterly span and end of year tax returns for both myself and the company...... What the actual accountant said was - it is unacceptable for tax reasons that you are not doing expenses reports on at least a monthly basis. I do have a few different excel spreadsheets to work from, but there has got to be an easier way to do it. Between doing the actual work, generating customers reports, a wife 2 children under 3, and everything else, I honestly don't have the time or desire to spend any more time typing up an accountability report of where or how I'm spending MY own damm money. I wholeheartedly understand what why the actual accountant is saying what she is, after all I pay her to insure the irs won't come knocking. The little old lady who does the 20hd/week is busy enough and gets a bit snippy when I drop a month or better worth of receipts on her desk. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Understandable, but I think it's just something that has to be done manually. Phone Apps always seems like lifesavers, but you have to fire them up and enter stuff every time, more of a pain in the ass, especially when you forget things or just don't feel like it and have to sit down and enter them anyways. Maybe something on the web would be cool. OneNote on Live.com + OneNote on your smartphone so you can enter it whenever, where ever. |

I mean hell there are a metric f ton of expense apps,, and that's also part of the issue, some I've tried suck, and I end up doing things 2 or 3 times when the app locks up, doesn't work as advertised, or just are a pita to work with.... I was hoping to narrow down the trial and error part of finding a good one. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
