One Place to Review Team Expenses — Without Issuing New Cards
ExpenseBot collects the evidence around the cards and accounts your team already uses. Authorized owners and co-admins can review spending by teammate, category, and period in Team Expenses, open the supporting receipt, and see which records still need attention.
Keep company cards, employee cards, and supported bank or card accounts already in use. ExpenseBot does not issue a replacement card.
Use authorized Gmail Smart Scanning, photos, PDFs, and verified forwarding to gather supporting evidence from each teammate.
ExpenseBot proposes matches between recorded receipts and supported card or bank activity. Unmatched or uncertain items stay visible for review.
Out-of-pocket purchases can be organized with their evidence for reimbursement review. ExpenseBot does not approve or pay reimbursements.
Each connected user keeps receipt files, spreadsheets, and reports in their own Google Drive while authorized team admins get a cross-team review view.
Share accountant-ready Sheets and reports or use supported QuickBooks, Xero, and file-export workflows.
Teams that also use AI assistants can connect ExpenseBot through supported MCP clients such as ChatGPT and Claude. Employees can submit receipts or work with their account's ExpenseBot records through that additional interface. See how the ExpenseBot MCP workflow works →
“As an accountant juggling a dozen clients' books, ExpenseBot is the first tool that fits how I actually work — I move between each client's account, their receipts land straight in their own Google Sheet, and it all exports cleanly into QuickBooks. It's taken the receipt-chasing out of my month.”
Why Small Teams Outgrow Spreadsheet-Only Expense Tracking
A manual spreadsheet works until it doesn't. When your receipt volume grows or a second person joins the workflow, the cracks start to show fast.
Manual entry misses emailed receipts, PDF invoices, and anything that arrived while you were busy.
An expense tab is half the picture. Without income tracking, you can't see profit — only spending.
Missed deductions cost real money. Reconstructing a year of receipts in April is painful and error-prone.
Your accountant needs organized records, not a pile of PDFs and a half-finished spreadsheet.
You can't search two years back, flag a category, or answer a simple 'how much did we spend on software last year' question.
The real cost is not the hours spent on data entry — it's the deductions you miss and the tax prep that takes a week instead of an afternoon. An income and expense tracker that connects to the tools you already use closes these gaps without adding new software to manage.
Why Not Every Team Needs a Full Corporate-Card Platform
Platforms like Ramp are excellent — for a specific kind of company. If you need to issue and manage corporate cards, enforce spend policies across a large organization, or run procurement and AP workflows, Ramp is a strong choice.
But most small businesses, founder-led companies, and Google Workspace teams are solving a different problem. You already have Chase, Amex, Barclays, or RBC business cards. You already have a Gmail inbox full of receipts. You just need to organize what you have — not switch to a new card program to do it.
You do not need to switch card programs to get organized.
ExpenseBot captures receipts from your existing Gmail, reconciles them against your existing card transactions, and keeps clean records in Google Sheets. No card switch, no IT project, no new vendor relationship for your finance team to manage.
Keep Your Existing Cards and Bank Accounts
ExpenseBot doesn't touch your card program. There's nothing to migrate and no new spending policy to adopt. Bring whatever cards and bank accounts your team already uses.
Connect a supported bank or card account, or upload a statement file. ExpenseBot proposes matches against captured receipts automatically and leaves uncertain or unmatched items for review.
You do not need to switch card programs to get organized. You need a system that connects your existing receipts to your existing transactions — and that's exactly what Google Workspace integration with ExpenseBot provides.
Capture Receipts from Gmail and Forwarding Addresses
The Gmail receipt scanner uses authorized Smart Scanning to find likely receipts and income messages — including order confirmations, SaaS invoices, travel bookings, and utility bills. Teammates can also upload photos or PDFs or use a verified forwarding address.
Each teammate chooses whether to let ExpenseBot scan their connected Gmail for likely receipt and income messages.
Each teammate gets a forwarding address. Route receipt emails from any inbox — Outlook, Apple Mail, a shared company account — into ExpenseBot.
The initial connection includes a recent scan. Optional historical scans can cover earlier years when purchased.
Optional historical scans are useful for teams inheriting a backlog. They are separate from the recent scan included when a teammate first connects Gmail.
Reconcile Card Transactions
Once receipts are captured, connect a supported bank or card account or upload a statement file. ExpenseBot proposes matches between recorded activity and captured receipts automatically.
Reconciliation catches the gap between what you spent (card transactions) and what you have receipts for. Unmatched transactions are a signal — either a receipt is missing, or the transaction belongs to a category you need to review. ExpenseBot surfaces both so nothing slips through at tax time.
Add Teammates When Receipt Collection Becomes a Shared Workflow
You don't need to set up a multi-user system on day one. Most teams start with a single connected inbox — usually the founder or office manager — and add people as the workflow expands.
Connect your own Gmail. Let ExpenseBot capture your receipts and reconcile your card statements.
Each person signs in with their work Google account and authorizes Gmail Smart Scanning, uploads documents, or uses a verified forwarding address.
Owners and co-admins use Team Expenses across users while each teammate's durable files, Sheets, and reports remain in that teammate's Google Drive.
There is no team-size minimum. Direct subscriptions are USD 10 per month for the first user and USD 10 per additional seat-month, prorated. See direct pricing or purchase through Google Cloud Marketplace if your organization uses Google Cloud billing and has eligible procurement access.
Share Clean Records With Your Accountant
When your accountant or bookkeeper is ready, sharing is straightforward. Accountant collaboration works through Google Sheets, reviewed reports, and supported accounting or file-export workflows.
Because durable records live in Google Drive and Sheets, the team can share the reviewed evidence through familiar Google permissions or supported exports. Access still follows the permissions and connection chosen by the account owner.
Google Workspace Expense Management vs Full Corporate-Card Platform
Two different tools solving two different problems.
Ramp is an excellent platform for companies that want to issue cards and control spend at scale. If that's not your problem, ExpenseBot is built for yours.
