Expense Management Seminar – NYC March 30

We’re going into the City to host a seminar on Expense Management highlighting RestEasy Expense.  We use RestEasy Expense internally for expense report reimbursement – it’s web-based and very easy to use.

If you are on a trip, you can take a photo of your receipts with a smart phone save it to your expense report (just like attaching a word doc or spreadsheet to an email), fill out a few lines of expense description, click on the correct expense type from a drop down menu and click a button to send it off.  Having spent years doing expense reports manually – printing out online receipts, taping paper receipts to a piece of paper, filling out a spreadsheet template, looking up GL codes – believe me RestEasy Expense is simply wonderful to use.

Expense reimbursement is where a lot of organizations lose time and money.  Automating the function can save a tremendous amount of time and money for your nonprofit.

RestEasy Expense Seminar

• When:  Wednesday, March 30, 2011
• Time:  9:45 – 11:30am (a light breakfast will be served)

RestEasy Expense – So Good We Use It Ourselves

Last year at INNOVATE, RestEasy Expense was a new product that we featured in our keynote.  There was a lot of excitement among the attendees regarding the product.  We were excited as well.  In fact, we’re using RestEasy Expense at JMT to process expense reports.

It lives up to its name, incredibly easy to use, cloud-based, and requires only an internet connection.  Receipts can be captured using a phone camera or scanned, and then uploaded and connected to the expense form – much like you would attach a file to an email.

You can set up RestEasy Expense to comply with your organization’s policies.  And, it’s fully integrated with Sage MIP Fund Accounting which will allow you to code your expenses using your segment structure and codes with the need to recreate them in a separate system.

Those who have complete expense reports will find it a much easier and faster process.  Those who approve expense reports are alerted via email that there are reports awaiting their approval.

On the reporting side, you can view reports by individual, department, fund and more.  If you are interested in learning more about RestEasy you can ask you CAM, attending an upcoming webcast on February 16, call 877-476-8806 or email info@resteasysoftware.com.

 

 

Admit it – You Hate Expense Reports

Even though there is wonderful motivation for finally sitting down, collecting those receipts, and filling out your expense reports (namely getting reimbursed), we all hate doing it.  I know I do.

RestEasy Expense is a cloud-based application that really does take the pain out of the expense reimbursement process.  And, it is integrated with Sage MIP Fund Accounting.  So, whether you’re the person submitting the report, approving the report, or processing the report – you’ll be interested in how RestEasy automates and simplifies the process.

We highlighted RestEasy Expense at our INNOVATE conferences last year and several of our clients are using it now.

On February 16 at 3:00e, we’re presenting RestEasy Expense via webcast.  You can register here.

We could all do with one less headache, and this is not only effective but also easy on the budget.  I hope you will be able to join us.
