FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before they sign up.

Expense report software lets employees claim business expenses, like travel, meals and mileage, on a report their manager approves and finance pays back. In Smartbills the receipts are captured before the report starts. Employees pick expenses from a list instead of typing them in.

An expense report is how an employee claims a group of expenses and gets paid back. Expense management is the work behind it: capturing, coding and checking each expense against policy as it happens. Smartbills does both, which is why a report can be built from expenses that are coded and have their receipts attached.

Company card charges, purchases paid with a personal card or cash, and mileage. Each line keeps its receipt, category and taxes. The report records the business purpose and the dates it covers.

It's the distance times your per-kilometre rate. The employee enters the trip and the vehicle, and Smartbills does the math with a flat rate or the CRA's tiered rate, which pays more for the first 5,000 km of the year. The trip then shows on the report as an ordinary line.

Smartbills does. Each tax on an itemized receipt is split out line by line, ready for your tax credits or refunds. Expenses in another currency are converted, and the original amount and exchange rate stay on the record.

Yes. A manager can approve the whole report, reject a single line or send it back with a comment while the rest keeps moving. Every action is saved in the report's history.

Once a report is approved, finance sets a reimbursement date the employee can see in the app. If the money went out another way (bank transfer, cheque or payroll), finance marks the report as reimbursed. Reports export to Excel or CSV and sync to QuickBooks, Xero or Sage.
