Features Your records · Expenses

Record it once, from the account it left.

When money leaves, tap Add Expense: the amount, the category, what it was for, and which account it came from. The balance goes down, and the expense is in this month's profit under a category your accountant already knows.

Transactions filtered to expenses: marketing, salaries, transport.

How it works

What you do, and what Meku does with it.

  1. You

    At the home page, tap Add Expense: the amount, the category, what it was for, and the account it came from. Take a photo of the receipt if you want. Save.

    Meku

    Reduces the account balance and puts the expense in this month's profit under its category.

  2. You

    Settings → Expense categories: switch off the ones you never use.

    Meku

    Keeps the same standard set for every business, such as rent, salaries, electricity and water, and transport, grouped the way an income statement is grouped. There is nothing to invent.

  3. You

    Reports → Expenses.

    Meku

    Shows where the money goes, by category, for any period. Transactions → Expenses has every expense, with its receipt.

What's included
  • Expenses with amount, category, note and account
  • Receipt photo attached
  • Standard categories, switched on or off
  • Expenses report by category
  • Staff record expenses and see only their own
  • Every expense shows who recorded it

Questions

Can I add my own category?

No, and that is on purpose. The categories match an income statement, so an accountant can read your records directly. Your own words go in What it was for.

What about stock I buy?

That is a purchase, not an expense. Record it under Inventory → Purchases, so the stock is added. Reports → Purchases counts it.
