Rent, software, freelance crew, travel and printing belong to different parts of the photography business. Organise those costs by purpose so the records remain useful when the studio reviews spending or prepares its accounting handoff.

Three expense contexts

Separate general studio expenses from project and order costs.

Itemised records

Record expense items, quantities, amounts and the date.

Receipts and attribution

Keep supporting receipts, notes and the team members who spent or recorded the cost.

Track studio, shoot and order expenses separately

Track studio, shoot and order expenses separately

Choose whether the expense is a general studio cost, a project expense or an order cost. The linked assignment helps explain why the money was spent.

Expense records show the type, category and linked photography assignment.

Keep overhead understandable

Use general expenses for costs such as studio rent, software, marketing and utilities rather than attaching every cost to a client shoot.

Preserve assignment costs

Keep travel, freelance crew, hired equipment, printing and lab costs with the relevant project or order when appropriate.

02 / EXPENSE TRACKING

Keep receipts and team expense details together

The expense entry workflow includes a category, date, item rows, total, optional team members, receipts and a note. Use that context to make a later review easier.

Receipts, spender details and branch context remain attached to the expense.

Record the components of the cost

Add items with quantity and amount so a multi-part expense remains understandable. Review the total before saving the record.

Keep the supporting evidence

Attach receipts and a note rather than leaving proof in a separate chat. Existing expense rows include receipt preview and multiple-receipt indicators.

03 / EXPENSE TRACKING

Review spend by category and period

Review spend by category and period

Use the expense list and insights to focus on the costs you want to review. Search by expense, event or category and filter by type, date and team member.

The broader finance workspace connects expense review with collection follow-up.

Understand the category mix

Review spend by categories such as rent, equipment rental, freelancers, printing, travel, marketing and software. The monthly view adds time context.

Prepare the finance handoff

Keep expense records organised for the connected accounting workflow. Review spending alongside received payments rather than confusing a sales invoice with available cash.
