Start free, no credit card needed.

ExpensesBusiness costs with VAT, category and receipt
01

What is it?

Expenses is your overview of business costs: what you paid, when, with how much VAT, in which category and with which receipt.

02

Who is it for?

For freelancers who want to track costs for their own overview and for their bookkeeper.

03

What problem does it solve?

Receipts in a drawer and costs in your banking app turn your year-end overview into a hunt. A list by category with the receipt attached keeps it together.

What you get

01

VAT per expense

Record the VAT percentage per expense, so you see how much VAT you incurred in a month.

What you can do

Expenses belong to your jobs and come back in the bookkeeper package. Supplier invoices you keep separately.

  • Amount, VAT and category

    A net amount, VAT and total per expense, with a category to group by.

  • Keep receipts

    See per expense whether a receipt is attached and open it in one click.

  • Summary of the month

    Spent this month, VAT recorded, what needs follow-up and your top category.

  • Duplicate and PDF

    Copy a recurring expense and export an expense as a PDF.

  • Pass on to a client

    Put an expense on an invoice for your client, or add it from a project.

Frequently asked questions

Is Expenses suitable for freelancers?

Yes. You record business costs with VAT and receipt, for your own overview and your bookkeeper.

Can I keep a receipt with an expense?

Yes. You attach the receipt and can open it again later.

What is the difference from purchase invoices?

Expenses is your cost overview. Purchase invoices is a separate register of supplier invoices. Record a purchase only once.

Can I pass an expense on to a client?

Yes. You put an expense on an invoice for your client, or add it from a project.

What it does not do

  • Expenses is an overview for your own administration; it is not tax advice and not a VAT return.
  • You record the same purchase as an expense or as a purchase invoice, not both: they are two separate registers.
