Expense in different currencies

Do you have employees who travel the world for business? Zoho Expense enables them to add any expenses incurred in the local currency. The app then automatically converts them to your organization's base currency.

Add per diem expenses

If your organization offers employees an allowance per day, Zoho Expense has got you covered. Set up per diem rates based on location and split them based on expense types.

Itemize your expenses

When you have a meal while traveling, you might have a receipt with multiple line items on it, but tax may be applicable only to a few of these charges. Zoho Expense lets you itemize your expenses so that you can apply the tax appropriately.

Split expenses

Enable employees to split expenses by amount (for shared expenses), by days (e.g. hotel expenses), or by custom modules.

Testimonials

One of my responsibilities is to oversee the AP function, and expense reporting is by far one of the most tedious aspects. Zoho Expense helps alleviate a bit of that headache with their online and mobile app platforms that allow users to upload and submit information electronically. Moreover, Zoho Expense has the capability to export their information in far more detailed fashions than other desktop and mobile applications including AMEX and Citi. I also like the approver and reminder functionality the app enables for the management team.

AVP Finance, Impact Floors of Texas LP

I believe, the most convenient feature for our employees is the easy-to-use mobile version of the tool. You click a picture of the bill you just spent on, select the relevant expense head and hit submit. Additionally, scanned copies of bills/ receipts, expenses, approvals, comments are now available in one report which forms the basis for any reimbursement claim posted to our accounting software.

Janani

Director of Finance, Exotel

The best thing that I like about Zoho Expense is how it allows everyone to convert a paper receipt into a digital format by snapping it with their mobile's camera. Without Zoho Expense, we would probably be using another system with a less optimal balance between costs and features.

In the past, I spent a ton of time chasing down our company credit card users because they often did not provide me with the receipt or even notation of their spending, so when the statement came, I had no idea which budget areas to pay the invoice from. Now, they each have a Zoho Expense account to track their spending in, and since getting the receipts into the account is so easy, and they can see their own bank feeds, it is working tickety-boo!
