Expenses & Reporting

What the business spends, recorded where the work happens.

The problem

Expenses scatter: receipts in a glove box, charges on a card nobody labeled, a spreadsheet updated when someone remembers. At tax time — or the first time you ask what a project really cost — the spending record is a reconstruction.

Money out deserves the same record as money in. Most small businesses track the invoices carefully and the expenses loosely, which is exactly backwards when margins are decided by both.

How the aCo App solves it

Expenses live in the aCo App, in the same workspace as the projects they belong to and the invoices they offset. Record spending as it happens — from your phone like everything else in the app — and it stays tied to the work it supported.

When you need the picture, expense reporting pulls it together: what went out, for what, and for which part of the business. No shoebox, no year-end archaeology.

What you get

Record expenses in the app, as they happen
Spending tied to the project or work it belongs to
Expense reporting — the outgo, organized and readable
Income and expenses in one place, next to the invoices
Works from your phone, like every feature in the app

Why it's different

A separate expense app knows charges and nothing else. Here, an expense sits beside the project it served and the client it was for — so what a job cost you is visible next to what it paid you. It lives in the same app as the rest of your business — one login, one subscription.

Questions

Can I tie an expense to a project?

Yes. Expenses are recorded in the same workspace as your projects, so spending stays connected to the work it supported.

What does the reporting show?

Expense reporting pulls your recorded spending together — what went out, for what, and for which part of the business — so tax time and margin checks stop being a reconstruction.

Does it work on phones?

Yes — the aCo App is mobile first, and every feature, expenses included, is ready on your phone.
