How to Track Business Expenses

Tracking expenses is key to maximizing deductions and staying organized. Shine FinOps shares five pro tips to make it easy for small businesses and freelancers.

  1. Use a Dedicated Card

    Pay business costs with one card or account to simplify tracking.

  2. Digitize Receipts

    Paper piles up. Use apps like Receipt Bank to scan and store instantly.

  3. Categorize Weekly

    Sort expenses (e.g., “marketing,” “travel”) to prep for taxes. Software helps.

  4. Automate Where Possible

    Link your card to QuickBooks for real-time tracking—less manual work.

  5. Review Monthly

    Check for errors or forgotten costs to keep your books clean.
