What is expense tracking
What is expense tracking?
Expense tracking is the practice of recording every cost your business incurs, with its category, date, tax and supporting receipt. Done well, it tells you exactly where money goes, what profit you really make, and how much input tax you can reclaim. Done poorly, profit becomes a guess and tax season becomes a scramble. Paper & Pen makes it a few seconds per expense.
How it works
Capture, categorise, reclaim
Paper & Pen turns scattered receipts into clean, categorised records that feed straight into your accounts.
- Record an expense with its category, supplier and tax
- Attach the receipt photo or PDF for the audit trail
- Reclaim input VAT or GST where applicable
- Set recurring expenses to record automatically
- See spend by category and real profit in your reports
Why it matters
Profit you can trust
You cannot manage what you do not measure. When every expense is captured against income, your profit and loss is accurate, your VAT return is correct, and you can see which costs are creeping up before they hurt. Expenses in Paper & Pen feed the same ledger as your sales, so the whole picture stays consistent and reconciled.
