What you can do with Expenses

Receipts attached

Snap a photo or upload a PDF of the receipt, up to 10 MB, and keep it with the expense.

Freelancer categories

Software, equipment, coworking, contractors, travel, meals, bank fees and more. Mark each expense deductible or not, and tie it to a project.

Profit per month

Income comes from the invoices you marked or received as paid, so the report shows revenue, expenses and profit without retyping anything.

Tax set-aside

Pick a percentage (25% to start) and the report shows how much of each month's profit to move to savings for estimated taxes. It's a planning number, not a tax calculation.

CSV export

Export expenses for a month or the whole year to CSV and hand them to your accountant.

Mexico: IVA and RESICO

Workspaces in pesos also get estimated IVA balance and monthly RESICO ISR, clearly labeled as estimates.

How Expenses connects to the other tools

None of this is required. If you also use these tools, Expenses already works with them:
