Purpose
Record money spent by the business for operations, materials, services, subscriptions, or equipment rentals.
Simple Example
An $800 Mastercard expense for A1 Rental is recorded under Equipment Rental with a description and memo.
Simple Bookkeeping Decision Rule
Record an expense when the business already paid. Use a bill instead when the company received an invoice but will pay later.
