Expenses

Costs come with the job — materials, callout fees, anything you've paid out to get work done. Select Expenses from the sidebar to see them gathered into one running list, rather than working them out from a stack of receipts after the fact or trying to remember what a job actually cost you months later.

View and search your expenses

The list shows every expense that's been recorded. The columns you'll use most are:

Column	What it shows
Category	What kind of expense it is
Date	When it was recorded
Amount	What it cost

Category draws on your chart of accounts — the same set of categories your income and costs are filed under elsewhere in HiTradies — so an expense sits in the same bucket your bookkeeping already uses, rather than a separate system just for this list.

Use the search box above the list to find a particular expense, rather than scrolling back through everything you've logged. That matters more than it sounds once you've been using HiTradies for a while — a season or two in, this list can run long, and being able to search it directly beats scrolling back through months of it by hand.

Handy to know

This page is for looking your expenses over, not for recording a new one — see the note below for where that stands.

Note — Adding an expense isn't covered here yet.
