We live in a virtual world. Think about the last time you wrote something down pertaining to your job that you physically had to hand in? Our lives revolve around social media, emails, spreadsheets, and anything remotely connected to the internet. More recently, we’ve abandoned our desktop computers for smartphones, tablets, and laptops for working on the go.
Everything we need is available in the palm of our hands. If you run a small business, most likely, your phone is your most important asset as it holds all your business information and gives you accessibility to clients, vendors, and employees 24/7 365.
More than likely, if you need it, there’s an app for it. Your business may even have an app itself! Mobile applications transform platforms and software into handheld sidekicks for you to use anytime, anywhere.
So when it comes to accounting for your business, it’s obvious that the best platforms and programs have mobile applications to make your life easier.
Some of our favorite accounting programs, QuickBooks Online, Gusto, and Bill.com, all have mobile capabilities that can help you run your business anytime you need.
Another favorite program of ours, Expensify, also has a mobile application, and that’s what we are here to talk about today.
Expensify Mobile Application
Creating Expensify on mobile devices has been absolutely revolutionary to all things regarding expense management.
In past articles, we’ve gone into detail about the benefits of using Expensify and how it can cut your time in half at the end of the month when doing expense reporting.
Having Expensify on mobile devices simplifies that process even more because of the SmartScan and GPS capabilities.
SmartScan
How many times have you searched through your bag to find a receipt that might not even be there? With Expensify on mobile devices, you don’t have to worry about that missing receipt.
The SmartScan function allows you to snap a pic and upload it right away for safekeeping. For example, when you upload your receipt, it automatically reviews and uploads pertinent information needed for accounting purposes. It also saves a picture of the receipt if you need it in the future. As a result, you’ll be able to submit expenses easily and eliminate the clutter of monthly receipts!
After uploading the receipt, it can be ready for reimbursement or accounting by the next day! You can save up to 83% of your time spent on expense management just by using this simple platform!
