Not sure. My exec assistant takes care of it
Chief
If you pay me enough I can do that for you

I use my corp Amex platinum. Charges go into the abyss until I get a nasty gram to expense them. Then they fly into one report
Chief
Pretty much
For freaking ever. Sometimes have to redo it because we can’t save them unless everything is filled in. Worst system ever.
All expenses have to go through our corp card but we personally pay those bills.
Agreed. It’s set up with the burden to be on the employee. And Amex fees are outrageous if you are late so you cough up your own money to pay while your expenses are audited.
1. About 30 min to an hour per week
2. Every week or every other week
3. Corp card for anything over $50 (company policy)
4.see above
I use personal card and get reimbursed within a week for <50, 2 weeks for over 50.
File one every two weeks with timesheet. We have a decent app that imports them directly, so I do them as they come up. Probably 30 minutes per pay period.
Personal card
Oh cool what does the app import? What's the manual process takes 30min?
1. ~5 minutes / report
2. Whenever the receipt is available for expenditures
3. Personal card for most expenses, unless it's an expense I know will take longer to approve, then corporate Amex
4. Kroll
Woah that's actually the shortest I've heard!! What's so easy about your expense reporting process?
1. 30 mins at most
2. I organize my travel report by week and by billing code, so if I travel every week to the same client, you can call it 4 reports / month
3. Corp card
It takes like 10 min a week. I do thrm this frequently so I get paid more smoothly. We use corp card.
1. 5 min
2. Biweekly, check each week when submitting time but don't always have charges
3. Corporate AmEx
4. Deloitte
1. 10 min
2. 1 per trip so usually for a week (usually 2 per month)
3. Corp AMEX
1. 5-10 min depending on amount of transactions
2. Once per week
3. Corp AMEX
1) 10-15 minutes
2) 1-2
