Waarom zou je deze gids vertrouwen?
I have run my own expenses through Expensify for two years. Every step here comes from real use, not a press kit.

Expensify is one of the best known expense management tools for businesses of any size.
Most users only ever scan receipts and stop there.
This Expensify step-by-step guide shows you how to use every part of the platform.
Short steps, real screenshots, and the shortcuts I actually use.
De YouTube clips below come from my own account, not a vendor demo.
Expensify-handleiding
This How to Use Expensify tutorial walks through the whole platform, from your first login to boekhouding synchroniseren.

Onkosten maken
Stop chasing paper receipts every month end. Expensify scans, codes, and submits expenses for you, then pays people back automatically. Paid plans start at $5 per member, per month.
Aan de slag met Expensify
Expensify requires users to sign up before anything else works.
The whole setup takes about three minutes.
Here is my honest walkthrough of the first session:
Laten we nu elke stap eens nader bekijken.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Visit the Expensify website and click Sign Up.
Enter your email or phone number and set a password.
Choose whether this is an individual or bedrijf rekening.
✓ Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox for the confirmation link.
Step 2: Access the App or Web Dashboard
Expensify works in any browser, and the mobile app covers iOS en Android.
Log in on whichever device you carry to meetings.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: You should see recent transactions and pending reports.
Stap 3: Creëer je eerste werkruimte
Open Workspaces and click New Workspace.
Add your expense categories and set basic company policies here.
Invite employees so they can join and submit their own claims.
From here you can manage expenses for one person or a whole department.
✅ Klaar: Je bent klaar om een van de onderstaande functies te gebruiken.
Hoe gebruik je het onkostenbeheerproces van Expensify?
Proces voor kostenbeheer lets you run your whole expense management process in one place instead of five spreadsheets.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open uw werkruimte
Click Workspaces in the left menu.
Pick the workspace that holds your team’s expenses.
Step 2: Set Your Expense Categories
Open Categories and match them to your chart of accounts.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Your categories appear as options on every new expense.
Step 3: Turn On Scheduled Submit
Scheduled Submit compiles and sends reports to your manager automatically.
✅ Resultaat: Every expense now lands in the right bucket the moment it is created.
💡 Pro-tip: Set the same categories across departments vroeg. Consistent coding is what makes later reports accurate.
Clean coding cuts review time, reducing the back-and-forth with finance every month.
Hoe gebruik je onkostenrapporten in Expensify?
Onkostennota's lets you bundle loose expenses into clean expense reports your finance team will actually approve.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Een nieuw rapport maken
Click Reports, then New Report.
Give it a name your manager will recognise later.
Step 2: Add Your Expenses
Select the expenses you want and add them to the report.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Expensify flags policy violations and duplicate entries before you submit.
Stap 3: Indienen ter beoordeling
Hit Submit and the report moves to your approver.
✅ Resultaat: You have a submitted report with a clear audit trail attached.
💡 Pro-tip: Fix flagged items before submitting. Reports with zero violations get approved far faster.
The system checks each line against company policies, ensuring compliance before anyone approves expenses.
Hoe gebruik je de reisaanbiedingen van Expensify?
Reisaanbiedingen lets you book reis and sync every booking straight into your expense reports.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het tabblad Reizen
Select Travel from the main navigation.
Step 2: Search and Compare Offers
Enter your dates and compare the trip offers shown.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Your flight or hotel shows up as a pending expense.
Step 3: Confirm the Booking
Book directly and the itinerary syncs to your account.
✅ Resultaat: Travel spending is captured before you even leave the office.
💡 Pro-tip: Book through the travel tab rather than an outside site. It saves you re-entering the receipt later.
Hoe gebruik je de Expensify-kaart?
Expensify-kaart lets you earn cash back while receipts attach themselves to each swipe.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Apply From the Cards Menu
Open Cards and request the Expensify Card.
Approval runs on your business bank balance.
Step 2: Assign Cards to Employees
Issue a card and set a monthly limit per person.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Card transactions show in the dashboard within seconds.
Step 3: Review Live Transactions
Each swipe appears direct with a receipt request attached.
✅ Resultaat: You earn up to 2% cash back on all USD spend.
💡 Pro-tip: The cash back can cut your monthly bill by up to 50%. It effectively pays for the subscription.
Hoe Expensify Easy Chats te gebruiken
Gemakkelijke chats lets you settle expense questions in a chat thread instead of a long email chain.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het chatvenster
Click the chat icon beside any report.
Step 2: Mention the Right Person
Type @ and select your manager or approver.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The thread sits permanently on that report for future reference.
Step 3: Attach Context
Drop the receipt or invoices into the thread as proof.
✅ Resultaat: Questions get resolved without anyone digging through past emails.
💡 Pro-tip: Ask about a rejection inside the report chat. The reviewer sees the expense and your vraag samen.
The same chat functionality works in the mobile app, so answers reach you between meetings.
How to Use Expensify Receipt Scanner
Bonnen scannen lets you turn a photo of a crumpled receipt into a coded expense in seconds.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Snap the Receipt
Open the mobile app and tap the green camera button.
SmartScan technology extracts the vendor, date, and amount for you.
Step 2: Forward Digital Receipts
Email PDF receipts to receipts@expensify.com from your registered address.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The receipt appears as a coded expense with the image attached.
Step 3: Confirm the Details
Check the scanned fields and adjust the category if needed.
✅ Resultaat: You can say goodbye to typing amounts off paper slips.
💡 Pro-tip: Scan at the table, not at month end. Receipts scanned late are the main source of errors.
Hoe gebruik je Expensify voor factuurbetalingen en -beheer?
Factuurbetaling en facturering lets you pay vendor bills and send client invoices from the same system.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Forward the Vendor Bill
Send the bill to your workspace email address.
Step 2: Route It for Approval
The bill follows the same approval workflows as expenses.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The invoice status updates from sent to paid on its own.
Stap 3: Een factuur aanmaken en versturen
Open Invoices, add line items, and send it directly to your client.
✅ Resultaat: Payables and receivables sit next to your expense gegevens.
💡 Pro-tip: Set a default payment term on invoices. Chasing late clients gets much easier with a fixed due date.
Hoe u Expensify Global Reimbursements kunt gebruiken
Wereldwijde terugbetalingen lets you reimburse employees in other countries without wiring money manually.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Verify Your Bank Account
Connect and verify the business account you will pay from.
Step 2: Enable Global Reimbursement
Switch it on in workspace settings and pick the countries you need.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The report status changes to Reimbursed with a payment date.
Step 3: Approve and Pay
Approve expenses and click Reimburse to release funds.
✅ Resultaat: Overseas employees get paid on the same schedule as local staff.
💡 Pro-tip: Ask remote staff to confirm bank details once a year. Stale details cause most failed payments.
Expensify absorbs the currency complexities, so your team never handles a manual wire form.
Hoe Expensify-integratie met andere software te gebruiken
Integratie met andere software lets you sync approved spending into your accounting software without exporting a single file.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Connections Tab
Go to workspace settings and select Accounting.
Step 2: Authorise Your Accounting Tool
Choose QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite and log in to authorise access.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A test expense appears in your accounting software within minutes.
Stap 3: Breng uw velden in kaart
Match Expensify categories to your existing accounts and classes.
✅ Resultaat: Your books stay up to date without any manual export.
💡 Pro-tip: Map categories before importing history. Remapping after a large sync is slow and painful.
One connection is enough to streamline how financial data moves between the two systems.

Probleemoplossing voor Expensify
Problem: SmartScan Returns the Wrong Amount
Oorzaak: Faded thermal paper or a folded receipt confuses the scan.
Repareren: Flatten the receipt, use good light, and edit the amount manually if accuracy still slips.
Problem: Expenses Are Not Syncing to Accounting Software
Oorzaak: A category exists in Expensify that has no matching account in QuickBooks of Xero.
Repareren: Open the connections tab and remap the unmatched categories, then re-run the sync.
Problem: Reimbursement Is Stuck as Pending
Oorzaak: The business bank account has not finished verification.
Repareren: Confirm the micro-deposits in your bank, then release the payment again.
