Overall Satisfaction with Expensify

I do a reasonable amount of work travel, and we don't have an internal process for expenses beyond an Excel sheet, so Expensify helps organize my documentation and ensure that I'm submitting it in a timely manner for reimbursements. The automatic receipt scanning is a game-changer and makes a frustrating process exponentially easier!

Pros

  • Automatic scanning of documents
  • A well structured mobile app
  • Ability to customize categories and other items

Cons

  • Confusion between a personal workspace and a shared workspace
  • Clearer instructions on how to modify CSV exports more effectively
  • Ability to redact information
  • Ability to connect to federal meal/incidental limits and flag charges that exceed that threshold
  • Time saved as a manager who doesn't have any administrative support, but has to audit expense reports
  • Time saved as an individual also creating their own expense reports.
  • Decreased time to reimbursement because the process is easier.
It is very solidly designed. I wish I could understand some of its functionality better, but I very much appreciate it as a key tool in my workplace. There are a few things I wish it could do (i.e., help me figure out how to streamline some business-specific things, such as an external spreadsheet that is not in the format of the exports), but I'm incredibly happy with it.

Yes

Would you buy Expensify again?

Yes

I've honestly referred many staff to Expensify. I honestly can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be helpful, because it organizes and itemizes things so clearly, I have few complaints! A small frustration is that it doesn't seem to handle some multiple uploads well (i.e., if you have an itemized receipt and a post-gratuity receipt, I've had to do some backend editing to have it show up in a single item). I could be doing it wrong, but that was unclear how to work around it.
