Align Your Business Expense Needs with Zoho Expense

Zoho Expense

There are certain needs that your company’s teams have that help them achieve their goals for growth, success, and impact. Each team is different, as they’ll have different requirements in order to do this. Your financial teams might need advanced software or tools to help them arrive at exact conclusions so that profit and loss, revenue, payroll, and so much more are accurate to the penny. Your marketing team might need to get creative with their campaigns and provide options or activations that are not within their normal window of capabilities. Your sales team likely has the greatest area of wiggle room, as they need to travel much more frequently, and they’re entertaining clients to ensure a positive relationship and display gratitude for their business. Their budget and expenses are likely a bit more expansive to fit those needs, which means that there’s a great deal of requirement to monitor this spending to ensure that it fits in with your company’s regulations. 

Managing these expenses can be a tedious process, as each team will need to be held accountable in managing these budgets and ensuring they don’t exceed their limit. Additionally, your financial team will need to approve each and every one of these spends to be sure that it aligns with the business case and to reimburse the team member in an appropriate time. In our busy digital world, you company needs a digital solution to this part of the business to ensure that processes are as streamlined as other procedures and that your teams don’t spend too much time analyzing this data.

Not only will this alleviate uncomfortable conversations in the future about overspending, but your approval team members will also be appreciative of the communicated expectations.

  • Easy integration with other apps to help you run your business

Your business also relies on other applications to run the successful business that it is, and depending on the needs of your employees, they probably use other apps in their regular life to maintain their own practices, and often those align, like travel apps, financial apps, and even productivity tools, so having those features integrated with your Zoho Expense will make everyone’s lives that much easier.
