Why should I categorise my expenses?

It’s important to categorise expenses so you can identify what areas of your business you might be overspending on. Spending categories also help you maximise your tax deductions and credits at tax time.

FreshBooks expense tracker provides default Expense categories and subcategories for you to choose from. You can categorise your business expenses easily under Advertising, Car & Truck, Employee Benefits, Meals & Entertainment, and more. You can provide even more granularity to your expense reports by using expense subcategories.

Some business expense tracker apps don’t let you customise your expense reports. However, with FreshBooks, you can create custom expense subcategories specific to your business’s unique needs, expenses and spending habits. You can also create custom expense subcategories in flight while editing a business Expense.
