Self-employed business owners, freelancers, and solo entrepreneurs use Hurdlr to save time, save money, and stay organized while running their business. The vendor states that on average, people find over $5,600 in tax deductions.
Expensify has been incredibly useful to me for many years. Considering I am using the free version, it's hard to find a better value! If your company does not have a good expense-capturing system, Expensify will save you hours on submitting reports. You can take a picture and toss the paper receipts right at the point of sale without worrying about losing them during your travels. If you have a small business, you can use it to track and organize regular expenses to make billable expenses and end-of-year taxes a whole lot easier.
Hurdlr is great for simple self-employment tracking (income, expenses, taxes). It's not as powerful as something like Quickbooks in my opinion, but honestly I think that's a good thing. No need to overcomplicate things if you don't need all those features. Hurdlr is perfect for exactly what you need as a self-employed person. I have always been able to do everything I need to do with Hurdlr and it's simple and easy to use. Most importantly, everything is quick. I can quickly add income and expenses, and quickly export reports. Works exactly the way it needs to.
Make it easier to submit multiple receipts/files in one expense
Often times I get a warning that the value of a receipt doesn't match what I manually I inputted. So making Smart scanner a little smarter, essentially.
We like using the tool and we receive positive feedback from employees and management who use the tool. It saves time and helps us concentrate on the value adding activities so we are very likely to keep using Expensify in the future
Mobile works great, but let's be honest. It's just a photograph. Their OCR and human turk technology works great to scan that photo and enter the proper information. The web interface is decent and allows you to work with single expenses in great detail. What's missing is the ability to mass update expenses, and this sometimes hurts, especially if you're a heavy user of the system.
Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.
Concur was a great product as well but Expensify offers the ability to quickly upload expenses and submit reports just the same. There is no free version with Concur, so for a small business that's interested in keeping costs down I would highly recommend Expensify.
Hurdlr is much cheaper and less complicated than QuickBooks. Less money, less time, less frustration than QuickBooks. I used QuickBooks Online for another business and had to spend hours and hours figuring out how to set it up, and ultimately had to pay an accountant to do it for me. So much wasted money and time compared to Hurdlr, which was easy, and free to get started. I'm sure some businesses need QuickBooks, but if you have a pretty simple self-employed business, Hurdlr is definitely superior.
Our organization no longer spends countless hours per month orchestrating the consolidation of data (MS Excel, typically) into our general ledger.
Our accounting department is no longer tasked with making sure the correct individuals have approved submitted reports.
Our accountants have a much easier time coding the reports that have been submitted by users. For the most part, we rely on users to code their submissions to the correct accounts.
