Expensify

As an employee, I use Expensify to log and get reimbursed for expenses. It couldn't make the process easier; in most cases it's as simple as forwarding an email, and in the rare case that I have to enter an expense manually, it's quick and straightforward with plenty of options but without being overcomplicated.

Our team travels a lot, usually twice a month to meet with clients and such. We use to do expenses by entering line items into an Excel form and manually submitting these for approval by our manager and then to finance for reimbursement. Since bringing in Expensify, my time spent doing expenses has been significantly reduced and it actually made it this task an enjoyable experience. First off, the mobile experience is clean and powerful. I now enter expenses on-the-go by using the app's built-in camera function to snap a picture of the receipt and using the "SmartScanning" function which uses an OCR-like software to read and complete the expense fields from the receipt. I've found it to be very accurate and I've rarely had to adjust any of the auto entries. Another great function of the app is the ability to generate a receipt for mileage by selecting two points on a map and letting it calculate mileage. Between the "SmartScanning" or receipt and automated mileage entries, this alone makes Expensify the tool to have to bring your expenses into the 21st century. The web portal is also very easy to use but I am mostly a mobile user.

Expensify is used across the company. It directly addresses the problem of managing expenses including categorization and ensuring that receipts are attached.

I travel for work, and I started using Expensify to submit my expense reports. The app makes tracking expenses so much easier. It can automatically identify so much of the information that I typically would have to manually enter- and receipts that I receive via e-mail (like hotel/car rentals) are easily forwarded to Expensify and added to my expense report. This app has made submitting expense reports so much easier- and as a result I am also getting reimbursed far faster than our old fashion option using excel spreadsheets and scanning receipts one by one. The app is relatively easy to use- and it has shifted from something I dreaded (having to do something different) to something I wish I had embraced earlier.

We are currently using Expensify across our company. My services as an assistant is shared by both Century Bridge and Sweetwater Capital. We use this for Sweetwater which; owns, trades, slaughters, sells cattle all over the world. (Dubai, Turkey, Tanzania, Dar, and more) The men have to travel to different regions of the country often. Losing receipts, incomplete expense reports were a major problem. A problem that lead to a not so positive audit. Expensify allows our guys to take pictures of their receipts and quickly type in the needed info before the information is lost. My CFO and I manage and keep track of expensify online, while our CPA can easily generate reports and keep track of expenses. We are so much more efficient and can spend time on more urgent tasks at hand. The expenses were such a mess before it was causing us to be un-organize in other areas. Expensify has helped us be more organized all around.
