Expense Management Software FAQs

Expense management software is a digital solution that automates the tracking, submitting, approving, and reimbursing of business expenses. 

A business expense can be anything an employee pays for related to their job. Expense management pertains to every task involved in ensuring these expenses are properly handled and paid back.    

Expense management automation is so popular because it helps a business ensure compliance, oversee expenses, and provide insight into spending patterns. The right expense management system saves a company money, reduces mistakes, and improves efficiency.

Expense management automation streamlines the tasks associated with tracking, submitting, approving, and reimbursing expenses. Here are a few quick steps for how it works:

  1. Employees submit expenses via a digital platform
  2. The system captures receipts and uploads the data
  3. Algorithms check expenses against policies
  4. Expenses are routed to approvers
  5. Notifications and alerts are sent out
  6. Real-time tracking of expense reports
  7. The system calculates the amounts owed
  8. Multi-currency payment processing for reimbursement
  9. An audit trail is created, documenting every step
  10. The system generates reports and analytics.

Expense management software helps to automate the entire process. From tasks like receipt capture, expense tracking, approval workflows, corporate cards, policy enforcement, and multi-currency support, systems like Tipalti can assist you.

Automating employee expenses with reimbursement software offers some key advantages, including:

Tracking expenses is crucial for effective financial management and planning. The best ways to do this include:

  • Receipt Management: Use digital tools to capture and store receipts, which employees can use to generate expense reports.
  • Corporate Cards: Encourage the use of corporate cards for business expenses. These provide detailed statements of transactions.
  • Policies and Guidelines: Establish clear expense policies and define acceptable limits, deadlines, and categories.
  • Regular Reconciliation: Regularly reconcile with bank and credit card statements to match transactions in your reimbursement software.

Traditionally, creating an expense report was done by hand, and approving an expense report meant a manual review to ensure the expenditure’s compliance, accuracy, and relevance. In today’s world, expense management software, like Tipalti, takes care of the grunt work. 

Expense report automation means creating and approving a report is as simple as scanning a receipt and sending it through the mobile app.

Automating the expense approval process can significantly reduce errors, improve efficiency, and streamline workflows. You can automate various steps in the expense approval process, including:

  3. Checking policies and flagging discrepancies
  4. Routing for approval based on specific criteria

Travel and expense management optimizes travel booking costs for business-related employee travel and expense reimbursement, recording these costs in accounting systems, timely reimbursing expense reports with supporting receipts, and taking tax deductions for travel.

Recording employee travel expenses involves systematically documenting and categorizing expenditures incurred during these business-related trips.

A company may need travel and expense management (T&E) software if it spends significant time on business travel and other reimbursed employee expenses. Staff may take too long to prepare and submit reports, and approvals may take too long. This is where automation comes in.
