Understanding Expenses
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.
