Curious how many partners expense the small daily expenses like housekeeping tips, valet tips, etc. Not looking to debate tipping, just wondering about small but frequent cash on expense reports

I shoot my admin a note at the end of each day with itemized cash tips and other cash expenses, she has a filter that sends these specific emails (with a particular subject line keyword) to a receipts folder, and she just includes them when she does my reports.

I don’t. Mainly because they’re small. Even a morning Starbucks out of town unless I get a breakfast there. Guess I feel I just make enough to not sweat the small stuff.

To me it feels too small and petty at this level to be worth the effort, especially considering it’s Admins that do our paperwork. Thoughts?

Same. I don’t expense tips.

Nope. I don’t expense travel to the airport, etc. Seems like a lot of wasted time.

Unless car service is spelled Uber or Lyft, I tend not to take it.

Same as Partner 3. Or, I get $100 in $1 bills, expense that, pay tips out of that, rinse and repeat. But, I have a purse, which makes that approach practical for me.

Yes. I expenses 100% of my out of pocket expenses. I travel for this company and I refuse to spend my own $$ on work related expenses. I make enough to absorb it. But why should I?

I don’t typically bother

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.
