What it is
An expense-tracking app for a small business is a web tool where you log every business purchase, attach the receipt, sort it by category, and see spending against your budget in one dashboard. It replaces the shoebox of receipts and the messy spreadsheet with a single searchable record.
What your small business expense tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for small business.
Expense date
Pins each purchase to a month and tax period so you can reconcile against statements cleanly.
Vendor / supplier
Records who you paid so you can spot your biggest recurring costs at a glance.
Category
Groups spend into rent, utilities, inventory, and marketing so you know where the money actually goes.
Amount
The total paid — the core number every report and budget view rolls up from.
Payment method
Marks cash, business card, or transfer so records match the right account at reconciliation.
Receipt upload
Attaches the proof image or PDF to the record so it survives a tax audit.
Tax / VAT amount
Breaks out the deductible portion so year-end filing isn't a guessing game.
Recurring flag
Marks subscriptions and monthly bills so your fixed overhead is easy to total.
Notes
Captures the business reason for a spend, useful when a purchase looks odd months later.
What good looks like for small business
One app, a view for everyone
Owner

Frequently asked questions
Does this connect to my business bank account or card to import transactions?+
No. Kleap builds the tracker on its own database, so you or your team enter each expense manually and attach the receipt. It does not link to bank or card feeds, so there's no automatic import — the upside is it works with any bank and there are no connection permissions to manage.
Can it scan a receipt photo and read the amount automatically?+
No, there's no OCR. You upload the receipt image or PDF and type in the amount and vendor yourself. The file stays attached to the record as proof for tax time, but the numbers are entered by hand.
Will it sync with QuickBooks or Xero for my accountant?+
No, it doesn't integrate with accounting software. You can hand your accountant a clean, categorized list with receipts attached, but the records live in your Kleap app, not inside QuickBooks or Xero.
Can I give my bookkeeper their own login without showing them everything?+
Yes. Kleap supports logins and roles, so you can let a bookkeeper enter and review expenses while keeping other parts of your app restricted. Each user only sees what their role allows.
