Expenses

Know where the money goes. Every receipt, bill and mile gets logged in seconds — and each one either belongs to a job, a project, or the business itself.

Capture it in seconds

Snap the receipt, type the amount, done — from the van, the counter or the office. Logging mileage? Just enter the miles; the amount is worked out at your company rate (HMRC's 45p a mile). Labour works the same way — pick a day or hourly rate from your price book, enter the days, done.

Mileage? Just miles — 18 mi × 45p = £8.10, worked out for you.

Attach it — or don't

Every cost is either overhead (van insurance, fuel, software — no job), on a project, or on a job. Attaching to a job is what turns spending into job costing — it counts in that job's Spent figure.

Billable, and who paid

Mark a cost billableand it's offered back to you when you invoice the customer — nothing slips through. Choose paid personallywhen someone covers a cost from their own pocket: it's tracked until the company pays them back, and the total sits in the “owed to team” chip above the ledger.

Where it ends up

With Xero or QuickBooks connected, each cost lands in your accounts as a transaction carrying the job reference — so your accountant can tie everything back. The receipt image itself stays in Jobivo.
