Well, there is another way. And that way is to outsource expense management to someone who can do it regularly, reliably and efficiently. It will save you time and it will save you hassle.
With a bit organisation and a clear process, expense management is a straightforward admin task. You can manage all your expenses – from fuel to credit card purchases – on individual spreadsheets or other expenses systems. This means you can see running expense totals at any point in the month and relate those totals to what’s happening. You can, for example, isolate credit card purchases, or look at what has been spent on food and entertaining. This gives you a great overview of your general expenditure.
