How to Track Business Expenses

Track your business spending directly in MobileBiz Pro — enter expenses, assign categories, and attach receipt photos. Your expenses feed into the Income Statement report so you always know where you stand.

What You'll Need

Before you start: Expense tracking is a Plus feature with a free preview. The first time you create an expense, an Expense Tracking card offers Try free for 14 days — tap it and carry straight on. While the preview runs, a banner above the list reads Free preview — N days remaining.

Steps

Create an Expense

  1. Tap the Expenses tile in the Dashboard's Shortcuts grid.

  2. Tap the + button (bottom-right). The New Expense screen opens.

  3. Fill in the expense details:

    • Expense date — defaults to today; tap it to pick another date
    • Merchant — who you paid
    • Category — tap Select category and choose one
    • Total — what you paid
    • Tax — the tax portion, if any
    • Description — optional note about the expense

Attach a Receipt Photo

  1. Tap Add Receipt Photo — the camera row at the top of the expense form.

  2. On the Select image sheet, tap Take from camera or Choose from gallery, then take or pick your photo.

  3. The receipt appears at the top of the expense. Tap the eye icon on it to view it full-screen.

View Your Expenses

Your expenses appear as a list sorted by date. Filter chips above the list narrow it by date range and by category, and the total for what's showing sits in a bar at the bottom of the screen.


Good to Know

  • Expenses are company-specific — switch to the correct company first if you manage more than one.
  • Your expense categories appear in the Income Statement report, giving you a clear view of revenue vs. spending. Open Reports > Summary Reports > Income Statement to see your profit breakdown.
  • All expenses you create remain visible even if your Plus subscription expires — you just won't be able to add new ones without an active subscription.
  • Expense data is stored on your device. Back up regularly using Settings > Data & backup > Backup & restore to avoid data loss.
