Save more to do more: Smart
expense management for NPO
Nonprofits can’t afford inefficiencies. With Zoho Expense, simplify expense reporting, track grants and projects with ease, and reimburse faster; helping your organization save time and money so you can focus more on your mission, not paperwork.


Zoho Expense automates a variety of expense management-related operations and helps users record their transactions quickly and efficiently.

With the cash advance feature, employees are given the funds to pay for their business travel before they leave. They simply upload their receipts, and administrators gain a clear picture of how and where the money was spent. For post-trip expense reports, the approval workflow lets employees track their expense reports and see their reimbursement status in real time.

In the past, I can tell you that if it was a one week long trip, it would take an entire week to prepare expense reports. With Zoho, it takes a day.
