Thanks to Joshua Topolsky, editor-in-chief of the Verge, for naming Expensify as his favorite self-proclaiming nerd app! Maybe claiming an expense reporting app as your favorite isn’t the hippest thing, but then again maybe it’s just THAT useful (and nerdy).

Being a policy owner has it’s benefits. You are automatically and permanently given admin privileges on the policy. You get to say you’re the owner. You are granted the right to add or remove other admins at a whim! (And you have to pay for the policy usage, but don’t worry about that, you’re the boss!)
If you’d like to claim any of these fine perks for yourself you’ll need to take control of the policy. To do so, first you’ll need to upgrade to the plan of the previous owner. Then you’ll need to be added to the policy with Admin permission. Continue Reading…

Here at Expensify we make expense reports that don’t suck, but that doesn’t mean we’re just a one trick pony. Just the other day I was having a chat with one of our ops maestros and keeping track of your tax deductible expenses with Expensify came up. (As you can tell, we engage in some rather highbrow discourse.)
He creates a report to store all of his tax deductible expenses for the year. Whether it’s donating to charity, traveling for work, or incurring any non-reimbursable business expenses, he just snaps a picture of the receipt and adds the expense to his tax deductible report. At the end of the year, he runs a report and it’s all there ready for the IRS, simple as that.
So if you have any use for money in your life this may be a great way to make sure you hold onto more of it. If you have any questions about keeping track of your tax deductible expenses with Expensify or Expensify in general, feel free to email us at help@expensify.com!
