Setting up clients on expense tracking takes 15 minutes per client with ExpenseBot:
Step-by-step:
- Sign up for free accountant access at expensebot.ai/accountant
- Send the client a setup link — they log in with Google (30 seconds)
- Configure expense categories to match your workpapers (Schedule C or T2125)
- Turn on Gmail auto-scan — receipts are captured overnight automatically
- Set up mileage tracking if they drive for business
- Add yourself as a viewer on their expense spreadsheet
The key: The client does nothing ongoing. Gmail auto-scan captures receipts automatically. You check a dashboard quarterly.
Start with your 5 worst clients — the ones who cost the most sorting time last tax season. Roll out to the rest after 30 days.
Free for accountants — no trial, no client minimums. Clients pay $10/month.
