Paybackable

Two big features released: Delegate expense report approvals and Have approved expenses sent to a bookkeeper

Based on lots of customer feedback, and after weeks of tweaking to make sure we covered the key user flows, this weekend we released a major upgrade to Paybackable.com. Two highly requested features were added:

1. The ability to let managers approve expense reports. Previously, the person who set up the Paybackable company account was the only person who could approve and export the expense reports of company employees. Now, the employee’s manager will be able to approve or reject an expense report.
2. You can now choose to have approved expense reports sent to someone other than the Paybackable account holder - for example, a bookkeeper. This can even be someone who does not have access to your Paybackable account. Users of our Solo plan my find this particularly valuable if they are having someone else handle the books.

Next up: the ability to attach copies of receipts to transactions. It’s largely completed, but we’re working on some of the polish to keep everything simple.

Please let us know what you think of the changes. And keep the suggestions coming!

Coming soon: approvals and the ability to attach receipts

Based on popular demand, we are currently working to finish manager approvals of expense reports, with the ability to forward approved expense reports to a bookkeeper or whoever cuts the checks. In addition, we are working on the ability to attach scanned receipts to individual transactions, thereby making it possible for offices to go paperless (at least for their expense reporting, that is.

Should be a busy weekend:-)

For all of you self employed folks out there, we just opened up our Bootstrap web site to the public today (it had been in private alpha.) It’s goal is to simplify the hassles of running very small businesses, starting with financial record keeping, estimated taxes, and 1099s. Think of it as the absolute simplest bookkeeping software. you can find for people who have the file a Schedule C at the end of the year.
