Expensify — 3 months free Collect for Startups

Deal Highlights

What Is Expensify?

Expensify is the expense management platform that automates receipt capture, expense report creation, approval workflows, and reimbursement for startup teams. The core feature: photograph a receipt with the Expensify mobile app, SmartScan extracts the merchant, amount, date, and category automatically, and the expense flows through your approval workflow to reimbursement — without anyone manually typing receipt details into a spreadsheet.

For startups where the founder currently collects receipts in a shoebox and reconciles expenses quarterly (or never), Expensify provides the financial hygiene that accountants require and audit readiness demands.

Key Features for Startups

SmartScan — No Manual Receipt Entry

Photograph a receipt. SmartScan''s AI extracts: merchant name, date, total amount, currency, and expense category. Accuracy: 95%+. Manual entry of receipt details — the task everyone procrastinates on — is eliminated.

Expensify Card

The Expensify corporate card auto-categorizes transactions and generates digital receipts for every purchase. No more lost receipts. No more "I forgot to submit my expenses." Every card transaction flows into Expensify automatically with a digital receipt attached.

Accounting Integration

Expensify syncs approved expenses to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage. Each expense maps to an accounting category. Your accountant receives clean, categorized expense data without manual CSV import.

Expensify vs Ramp vs Brex Expense Management

Expensify wins on receipt scanning quality and expense report management. Ramp wins on spend optimization and cashback. Brex wins on category rewards. Many startups use Ramp or Brex for the card and Expensify for expense management.

Tips to Maximize Your Expensify Deal

1. Issue Expensify Cards to anyone who makes purchases — Auto-categorized transactions with digital receipts eliminate 90% of expense report friction.
2. Set up approval workflows before the first expense — Define who approves what amount. No expense should be reimbursed without manager approval.
3. Connect QuickBooks or Xero immediately — Approved expenses sync to your accounting software automatically. No manual entry.
4. Enforce the "no receipt, no reimbursement" policy — With SmartScan, photographing a receipt takes 3 seconds. There is no excuse for missing receipts.
5. Review expense reports weekly, not monthly — Weekly review catches categorization errors and policy violations early.
