How to Track Business Expenses

Track your business spending directly in MobileBiz Pro — enter expenses, assign categories, and attach receipt photos. Your expenses feed into the Income Statement report so you always know where you stand.

What You'll Need

Before you start: Expense tracking is a Plus feature with a free trial available. The first time you open Expenses, you'll have the option to start your trial.

Your expenses appear as a list sorted by date. Use the filter icon to narrow by date range or category. Total spending for the filtered period is shown at the top.


Good to Know

  • Expenses are company-specific — switch to the correct company first if you manage more than one.
  • Your expense categories appear in the Income Statement report, giving you a clear view of revenue vs. spending. Open Reports > Summary Reports > Income Statement to see your profit breakdown.
  • All expenses you create remain visible even if your Plus subscription expires — you just won't be able to add new ones without an active subscription.
  • Expense data is stored on your device. Back up regularly using Manage Data > Backup & Restore to avoid data loss.
