Getting reimbursed without the runaround

An expense report is how employees and contractors get paid back for money spent on the company's behalf — travel, meals, supplies, mileage, client entertainment. It's also how finance teams keep deductible business expenses documented for tax time. A complete, itemized report with receipts attached sails through approval; a vague one bounces between inboxes for weeks.

What goes on the report

Each line should carry the date, a category (lodging, airfare, meals, mileage, supplies), a short business-purpose description, and the amount. The header identifies who's reporting, the department or project, and the reporting period; the footer totals everything, subtracts any company-card charges or advances, and shows the net amount owed. The submitter signs, and a manager approves. The IRS expects business records to show amount, date, place, and business purpose — the same four things a good expense report captures naturally.

Filling it out online

Type each expense line into the FinishMyDocs editor — no spreadsheet formulas to break and no expense-software subscription needed for a small team. Total it up, e-sign, download the PDF, and email it to whoever approves reimbursements, with receipt photos attached. The copy saved in your dashboard doubles as your personal record of what you're owed.
