What Is Expense Tracking?

Expense tracking is recording every dollar your business spends โ€” categorized, organized, and ready for tax time. It replaces shoeboxes of receipts with a system that actually works.

What Does Expense Tracking Software Do?

It captures receipts (snap a photo), categorizes expenses (fuel, materials, office supplies), tracks mileage, and organizes everything by tax category. At tax time, you export a clean report instead of panicking. Good expense trackers also connect to your bank account and auto-categorize transactions.

Who Needs Expense Tracking?

Every business. If you earn money, the IRS wants to know what you spent. Expense tracking isn't optional โ€” it's the difference between a standard deduction and itemizing $15,000 in legitimate business expenses. The average solopreneur misses $3,000-$8,000 in deductions annually because they don't track expenses properly.

How Much Does It Cost?

Expensify is $12/month. QuickBooks (which includes expense tracking) is $38-$115/month. Shoeboxed is $18/month. These are ongoing subscriptions that never stop billing.
