Zero

chasing emails between finance and staff

Every manual expense claim costs more time than it should.

For a 50-person team with four claims each per month, that is hundreds of hours lost every year to admin.

20+ minutes to fill in and submit a single claim
Approval emails back and forth for missing info
Finance chasing receipts and corrections
Reimbursements delayed by 2 to 3 weeks
Audit prep pulling documents from email threads
Out-of-policy spend slipping through unnoticed

From claim to reimbursement, without the friction

MyExpensePal handles the checks automatically, so fewer emails are needed and everyone gets paid faster.

  1. Submit

    Employees claim in minutes, not half an hour

    A guided, structured form means no guesswork and no missing fields.

    • Step-by-step guided submission
    • Mandatory fields enforced upfront
    • Receipts attached at point of claim
    • Policy limits shown in real time

    Claims arrive complete. No chasing, no corrections.

  2. Check

    Policy is applied before finance ever sees it

    Every claim is validated against your policy the moment it is submitted.

    Compliant, auto-approved
    Needs review, flagged
    Out of policy, returned
    • Your own limits and categories
    • Reason returned with every rejection
    • Duplicate and missing-receipt detection
    • Exceptions routed to the right reviewer

    Finance only sees the claims that need human judgement.

  3. Approve

    Managers decide from their inbox

    The approval email carries the full claim summary, so there is nothing to open and nothing to log into.

    • Manager notified instantly
    • Receipt visible without signing in
    • One click to approve or send back
    • Employee notified of the outcome

    Most approvals happen within hours, not days.

  4. Reimburse

    Paid quickly, with the audit trail already written

    Every step is logged and timestamped as it happens, not reconstructed at year end.

    • Original receipt stored securely
    • Policy checks recorded
    • Approval decision timestamped
    • Export ready for your accounting system

    Staff are paid faster and the evidence is ready if auditors ask.

This is the actual product

No mockups. Every claim arrives already coded to your chart of accounts, with receipts attached and VAT split out.

Expense claim line items coded to account code, cost centre and activity code, each with a receipt attached and a claim total of £290.40
A submitted claim as finance receives it. Every line is already coded to account, cost centre and activity, with the receipt attached.Scroll the image sideways to see the full table.

Coded at source

Account, cost centre and activity on every line, straight from your own combinations.

VAT split out

Net and VAT separated automatically, so the journal posts without rework.

Receipt attached

Each receipt is held against the line it belongs to, not the claim as a whole.

Know where you stand, daily

Pending liability, approved spend, monthly trend and average time to settle, all without exporting anything. Finance sees the position before month-end, not three weeks after it.

Your policy, not a template

Upload your expense policy once. It answers questions and enforces itself.

MyExpensePal reads your own handbook and turns it into two things: an assistant staff can ask before they spend, and a check that runs on every claim before finance sees it.

Ask the policy

Staff get the answer before they spend, not after

Your handbook is indexed and searchable in plain language. Employees ask what they can book, and the assistant answers from your policy with the clause it came from — so finance is not the helpdesk for the same six questions.

  • Upload your handbook as a PDF or Word document
  • Answers cite the clause and document they came from
  • Conversations are saved, so nobody asks finance twice
  • Common questions show you where the policy needs rewriting

I'm staying in London on Thursday for the client review. What can I book?

Up to £220 per night including VAT, excluding breakfast, for a business overnight stay. Outside London the limit is £150. Anything above that needs written approval before you book.

And if I take the client for dinner afterwards?

Client entertainment is claimable with the names and company of everyone attending. Tips are covered up to 10% in the UK where they are not already included on the bill.

Expense Policy 2026 — 6.1 Entertainment

The conversation is saved, so finance can see what staff are asking and where the policy is unclear.

Validate the claim

Every claim is checked against the policy it has to meet

The same document becomes a set of rules with limits, categories and conditions. Each line is validated against them, and anything outside policy is flagged with the clause it breaks and what to do about it.

  • Rules extracted from your document, not a generic template
  • Every line checked against limits, categories and conditions
  • Breaches explained in plain English before submission
  • The rule applied and the reasoning stored with the claim

  • Client gift — £65.17

    Needs review

    Gifts to clients: up to £50 per recipient per year

  • Rail, Leeds to London — £84.20

    Compliant

    Standard class rail booked more than 7 days ahead

    Within policy. No action needed.

Checked at submission, with the rule and the reasoning stored against the claim.

Out-of-policy spend is caught at submission, when it can still be corrected — not at month end, when it is already money out the door.
