Hello! I hope you’re enjoying the height of summer (or winter) wherever you are. I just wanted to give a quick update on some incredible progress with one of our lesser known but increasingly important features: receipt integrations.

Just one year ago (almost to the day!), we launched our first round of receipt integrations. Our vision was to eliminate paper receipts by importing them into Expensify directly from the most commonly expensed merchants, such as Uber, HotelTonight, and Revel Systems POS. We added Lyft to the roster last week, and the receipt fire still burns! Here are our five newest receipt integrations, all focused on smoothing the pains of business travel:
It’s always a thrill ride when an Expensify customer becomes an Expensify partner, so buckle up!
We’ve partnered with Lyft to make expensing business rides automatic and touchless, like your favorite Sunday carwash. When your Lyft ride is complete, your ride receipt will automatically populate in Expensify for easy expensing – no clicks or taps necessary!
Business travel might seem fun and glamorous on the surface, but road warriors know that the behind-the-scenes logistics involved in booking a business trip are just the opposite. Scheduling flights and hotels, collecting receipts, and trying to work on a flight when your neighbor is hogging the armrest are just a few of the hassles that get in the way of enjoying a business trip, not to mention the hundreds of emails that pile up while you’re out of the office.
Two announcements in one day? Yup! In addition to making parking easier with SpotHero, we’re excited to announce that Expensify is coming to an airport near you (well, San Jose, New York LaGuardia, and Houston, to start!)
We’ve partnered with Revel Systems and Pacific Gateway to enhance your business travel experience. Need to grab a quick water or a quick meal before your flight? No problem – just focus on your task at hand, and our teams will do the rest! Continue Reading…

It’s that time of year again!
Joy to the world, Christmas is here!
Yes, Christmas and New Year’s are just around the corner, but what I’m really talking about is new tax rules for 2015! Here are the top four that you should pay attention to when doing your expense reports and due diligence next year. Continue Reading…
“Best offshore I’ve been on since the last offshore,” — a software engineer or sales team veteran.
The team beachside.
Regardless of who actually said that, they’re not far from the truth: Offshore 2014 was packed with long 12-hour working days mixed with weekends filled with sightseeing and sunbathing. We got elbows deep in Portugal’s cod and port wine culture, participated in a Portuguese version of the running of the bulls, bunkered up at a restored monastery for a week, enjoyed a live fado performance, and much, much more.

Every year, I spend 1-2 months overseas, with probably a trip every month in between. In the last four weeks alone, I spoke at conferences in Norway and Tunisia, before heading to Portugal with the team for our 2014 Offshore. Currently, I’m writing this on a 30-hour journey from Portugal to SFO — which due to the miracle of timezones, happens in a mere 16 hours.
With all this movement, you can say that I’ve had my fair share of both delightful and horrifying experiences in business travel. Along the way, I’ve developed some core nuggets of knowledge that I live by, and I’m passing them along to the next travel-savvy entrepreneur (aka YOU). Continue Reading…
Expensify is unusual in many ways. But one of our most well documented oddities is our habit of taking the whole company overseas for a month. There are a huge range of reasons to do this: to work, to play, to finish off the year before, and to get inspired for the year ahead. But regardless of your reason, here are some hard-learned tips for making the habit work for you: Continue Reading…
