Expense & Approvals

What Expense & Approvals does

Stay in Control of Every Expense helps teams run accounting & tax workflows with clarity and control. Capture requests, route approvals, and enforce policy controls before money leaves your business.

Instead of using disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and approvals, your team works from one structured process. Core capabilities include multi-level approval routing with flexible roles, auditor gates before and after final approval, receipt capture, categories, and multi-currency support, so operations stay consistent as the business grows.

This means leaders get better visibility, teams spend less time on manual coordination, and finance decisions are made using reliable data rather than assumptions.

What's inside

A closer look at everything Expense & Approvals includes today.

Public department request forms

New

Share a link with a department so people can request money without logging in. Each request lands in Expenses and goes through your normal approval chain.

  • One shareable link per department, with a default expense category
  • Optional message telling requesters what to include
  • Regenerate the link at any time if it was shared too widely

Fine-grained team permissions

New

Start from a role, then switch individual permissions on or off for each person, so access matches what they actually do.

  • Per-person overrides for adding, approving, and auditing expenses
  • Branch assignments limit which branches each member can see
  • Branch managers receive expense notifications for their branch

Approval workflow

Multi-level approvals with auditor gates before and after final approval, finance remarks, and a full audit trail.

  • Bulk approve or complete many expenses at once, with ineligible items skipped
  • Payment voucher PDF with payee, payment, authorization, and acknowledgement sections
  • Anomaly checks can block approval until issues are resolved

Capture and categorize

Receipts, categories with optional subcategories, departments, projects, and branches on every expense.

  • Subcategories for more detailed reporting
  • Opening balances when you move over from another system
  • Deleted items stay in a recycle bin for 30 days
