Expensify's Insights and Custom Reporting: analyze and control company spend

What is Expensify’s Insights and Custom Reporting feature?

Expensify’s Insights and Custom Reporting feature allows users to quickly access their spend data in an easy and comprehensive way. Users can create graphs and reports to show how much they’re spending across different categories, which can help with larger company financial planning and reporting.

With the Insights and Custom Reporting feature, you’re just one click away from a detailed, visual summary of all aspects of your company’s spend, plus access to unlimited reporting capabilities.

Businesses of all sizes don’t just need a tool that tracks expenses. They also need a spend management solution that enables better decision making when it matters most. Finance teams can quickly see how much employees are spending, what they’re spending on, and average spend in each category. With this data, admins can generate the graphs and charts they need to help tell their company’s financial story, and allow their team to make financial decisions that affect the company’s bottom line.
