Quick entry

One record. No lines, no fuss.

An expense isn't an invoice: enter what you paid, tax-inclusive by default, and Corebill splits the subtotal and tax for you. The vendor and category are created on the spot, just by typing.

The expenses you'd forget to log, logged for you.

Every Stripe payment logs its real processing fee as an expense automatically, with a one-time import for your existing history. Recurring costs like hosting or software repeat on their own schedule.
