Expense Reports

Expense reports your volunteers will actually finish

A parent snaps the receipt on their phone. You approve it. BeeKeeper books it.

One receipt, from the checkout line to the ledger

The treasurer's part of that is one click. Everything either side of it happens because the request arrived as data rather than as a photo in a text message.
  1. She pays for it herself

    A parent puts $212 of fun run supplies on her own card, at a store, on a Saturday. Every reimbursement starts as somebody else's money, which is why the slow ones feel personal.

  2. She files it before she leaves the parking lot

    A link you posted once, a QR code taped to the sign-up table, or ReimburseBee on her phone. What she bought, which category it belongs to, and a photo of the receipt. No account and no password, on either side.

  3. The receipt is read on the way in

    The total, the date and the merchant are read off the photo and checked against what she typed. The amount has to agree to the cent and the date to within a week, and a line that agrees is marked verified before it reaches you.

  4. It lands in one queue

    Not in a text thread, three photos down, at nine at night. A line where the paper and the typing disagree arrives flagged, with both numbers side by side and the receipt one click away.

  5. The board is asked, if your bylaws ask for it

    Send the report for sign-off and each officer gets a private link by email. They approve from the phone they are already holding, without logging in. It stays switched off until you turn it on.

  6. You approve

    One decision, with the receipt in front of you, and you say how the money goes out: print a check, record one you are writing by hand, or send it by Zelle.

  7. The journal entry writes itself

    Each line debits the category it was filed under, the bank account is credited for the total, and a printable check is queued if that is how you chose to pay. There is no separate bookkeeping step afterwards.

  8. She is paid, and told

    An email goes out the moment you decide, and a push notification too if she filed from the app. A rejection carries your reason back to her instead of silence.

Reimbursements do not fail because people are careless. They fail because the path is too long.

BeeKeeper shortens it to one link and a photo.
The receipt photo at 9pm

A parent texts you a picture of a Costco receipt. You are making lunches. By the time you open the laptop it is three photos down in the thread.

The parent who is still waiting

She fronted $212 for the fun run and asked once, politely, three weeks ago. Nobody is tracking it, which means you are tracking it, in your head.

The volunteer who will not make an account

Ask a busy parent to register, pick a password and find a menu item, and the request simply never arrives. You get a text instead.

What happens to the receipt photo

A photograph is not data. Getting from one to the other is the part that eats a treasurer's evening, so BeeKeeper does it on the way in rather than leaving it on your desk.

Four ways a request reaches you

A link you post once

Put it in the newsletter, the group chat, the volunteer sign-up email. It does not expire, and there is no invitation for you to send or revoke.

A QR code for the table

Download it, print it, tape it to the sign-up table at the fall festival. It points at the same form, and a parent can file the request before they leave.

ReimburseBee on their phone

Free on iPhone and Android. They verify a phone number with a texted code, type your short organization code once, and photograph the receipt in the parking lot.

You key it in yourself

A paper form from the treasurer's box still has to go somewhere. Enter it and it behaves exactly like every other report, receipt and all.
