How to Track School Expenses

Record expenses, categorize spending, and generate financial reports.

1

Go to Expenses

Click "Expenses" in the sidebar. You'll see a list of all recorded expenses with filters for date, category, and amount.

2

Add an expense

Click "Add Expense" and enter the details: amount, date, category, vendor/payee, and description. You can also upload a photo of the receipt.

3

AI receipt scanning

Upload a photo or PDF of a receipt. The AI automatically extracts the vendor name, amount, date, and category — saving you from manual data entry.

4

Categorize spending

Use categories like Supplies, Utilities, Maintenance, Transportation, and Technology to organize expenses for clear reporting.

5

Generate expense reports

Go to Expenses → Reports to see spending summaries by category, time period, or vendor. Export reports as PDF or Excel for accounting purposes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Upload receipts right away so you don't lose them.
