Expense Plus Money Tracker

[Brad Isaac]

"Track your expenses on your Windows Mobile Pocket PC, then send them to your custom expense report (or use one of ExpensePlus' sample forms) via Microsoft Excel on your Windows desktop or laptop computer (A Palm OS version is also available on a separate web page here at Handango).
ExpensePlus Features:
• Capable of automatically generating your company's own custom expense report form after generating a custom software script; or use one of the sample half dozen expense reports that are included in Microsoft Excel format.
• Expense reports are automatically generated during your ActiveSync sessions. You see your expense report appear in Excel on your screen automatically when you do a sync with your desktop computer. No messy and labor-intensive import/export into a spreadsheet. ExpensePlus does this automatically for you! Don't want your expense reports generating on every ActiveSync? Then turn off the ExpensePlus conduit as the default setting and turn it on only when you need it..or manually create your expense reports when needed using the included Windows software package.
• Mileage and odometer tracking. Remembers last odometer reading as your default first odometer reading for your next trip. ExpensePlus can automatically extract your mileage expenses and build a separate odometer/mileage report in Excel on your desktop during your ActiveSync session. No manual export/import required!
• Currency conversion rates available for all countries. Select your own home country's currency as the base currency, then pick which currency you used for each expense item. ExpensePlus automatically shows all totals and subtotals in your own home currency.
• Track expenses by each of your specific credit cards or other payment methods
• Distinguish between pre-paid or expenses paid directly by your employer (i.e. non-reimbursable) versus reimbursable expenses paid directly from your personal check, cash or credit card. ExpensePlus will automatically separate your business reimbursable expenses from your business non-reimbursable expenses automatically when it generates your expense reports.
• Track expenses by client, by job costing, profit center, or any other classification of your choice
• Drill-down capabilities on the handheld showing subtotals for expenses by client or job, by payment method, by expense category, expense type, or by specific dates or date ranges
• Sort by any field in ExpensePlus on your Pocket PC
• Search for any group of expenses using multiple search criteria
Enter all of personal and business information just once on your Pocket PC and it will automatically fill in the all the appropriate header fields of any expense report on your desktop computer.
• Tracks cash advances
• You can co-mingle your personal expenses along with your business reimbursable expenses. ExpensePlus will automatically separate them for you when generating your business expense reports.
• Click here to see some of the 'sample' expense reports that are automatically generated during your ActiveSync sessions!
• Color icon-driven user-friendly interface

this program looks excellent... I am currently using TimeTracker by rfcons since it has time and expense, but if this one had time I would be all over it.

Hey, Keith. I use TT too and love it. It's the one program I miss since upgrading to SE- it just won't run. Rfcons is looking into it though. The desktop versions still works so I'm just using it and entering everything in at the end of the day. Pain. They have a beta now that puts the information directly into QuickBooks if you use that. I do but haven't had time to try it out yet. Great program.

I should add that my input is more heavily billing oriented and not expenses. Expense Plus is a nice program if you're expense orienting.

I just need to make my forms for reporting... I have been too lazy.

[jkendrick]

Yes, I reviewed TT and TimeBiller last year and my major gripe with TT was the complicated report design. They've admitted it's their weakest link but haven't had time to address it. It's a shame because I'd love to be able to output invoices direct from TT but it's too much trouble.

I had communication with them a few months back and they said they were going to have forms on their site within a few months... nothing yet...
