3 Tools to Track Your Expenses and Why They Are Helpful

Tax season is upon us, and that means we are all thinking about numbers! How do you track your organization’s finances? Which tools do you use, and are you finding them to be helpful, or is your current method creating more stress than it seems to be worth? Don’t worry, we can help.

I’d like to briefly highlight my favorite tools for tracking expenses. Check them out and see if one sounds like a good fit for you:

• Quickbooks – This awesome tool, available in app or web form, is VERY user-friendly and will help you separate business and personal expenses (which is critical during tax filing season). And speaking of taxes, it can automatically generate your tax docs! This inexpensive resource is totally affordable for anyone and is a must-have.  Click here to learn more.
• Mileage IQ – If you’re doing a lot of driving, this smartphone app can help you keep track of those miles and separate your personal travel from business driving. Bonus: as mileage rates change, the app automatically updates the figures so that you don’t have to!
• Expensify – This can help keep track of your expenses in real time via your smartphone. You upload photos of your business or personal receipts and link them to the card used for the purchase. No need to sift through a shoe box full of receipts or pore over your credit card statements ever again. 

Time, they say, is money, so the more time you save on doing your organization’s expenses (and taxes), the more time you’ll have to focus on and work toward your mission. And that is PRICELESS.
