Start from the expense template
Open the expense management template or describe reports, line items, and receipts explicitly.
Model reports and approvals
Create expense reports, line items, receipts, and multi-step approval states.
Build employee and finance views
Ask for mobile-friendly capture, policy warnings, and finance export queues.
Wire card and bank feeds optional
Integrate Plaid or card feeds later; keep manual entry solid first.

FAQ
Should expenses live inside accounting software?
Often they start separate then export to GL. Keep chart-of-accounts mapping fields ready for sync.
How do I enforce receipt requirements?
Block submit when amount exceeds a threshold without an attached receipt image or PDF.
Can managers approve on mobile?
Yes. Prompt for approval queues with deep links and Slack notifications for pending reports.
