Expense tracking. Tracking expenses manually can drain your resources faster than you know. Lost receipts, data entry mistakes, and time spent on paperwork slowly eat away at both your time and profits. The worst part? So many businesses don’t even recognise the financial impact until it’s too late.
There are many Hidden Costs of Manual Expense Tracking
In the past, businesses have depended on spreadsheets, paper receipts and manual data entry. Many think that it seems like a minor inconvenience to do a little extra administrative work, right? Wrong. The numbers reveal a different truth:
- 80% of small businesses struggle with expense tracking
- Manual expense management consumes 30% more time
- Lost receipts cost businesses over $2,000 annually
- Expense errors result in 5% loss of revenue
That’s money slipping away without notice. Add to this the delays in reimbursements, compliance issues, and the hassle of managing paperwork, and the situation gets worse.
Spreadsheets and Paper Receipts Are Holding You Back
Spreadsheets were never designed to be used as an expense management tool. They’re perfect for crunching numbers but not for handling real-time transactions. Here’s why they fall short for modern businesses:
- Human error: A single wrong keystroke can disrupt an entire report.
- Time-consuming: Employees waste hours manually entering data.
- No real-time tracking: Expenses can pile up before you even notice.
- Lack of security: Paper receipts fade overtime, they get lost and are frequently lost.
Despite all these challenges, 85% of businesses still rely on paper receipts and outdated tracking methods.
