Understanding Expenses

5 March 2026 jiffytrade Expenditure

Expenses allow you to record and track money leaving your business.

Recording expenses helps you:

  • monitor business spending
  • store receipts for record keeping
  • track costs related to specific customers or jobs
  • prepare financial summaries and reports

Types of Expenses

JiffyTrade supports two types of expenses.

Standard expenses

Standard expenses are one-off costs recorded individually.

Examples include:

  • buying materials for a job
  • purchasing tools or equipment
  • fuel or travel costs

Recurring expenses

Recurring expenses are costs that repeat automatically on a schedule.

Examples include:

  • software subscriptions
  • monthly equipment leases
  • regular supplier charges

Recurring expenses automatically generate new entries when they become due, allowing you to set them up once and let them run automatically.
