KPMG folks - do you guys expense dry cleaning for the week? Is it standard to do so? A few of my coworkers expense theirs but I've been hesitant to do the same.

I'm sure your expense policy is very clear on what is permissible. I'd go by what that says.

Good call D1

The policy is likely 4 straight nights of travel. Be prepared for an audit months after reimbursement

It's the 4th night. And do it through hotel. They won't audit shit if you upload the appropriate support to SAP with your expenses.

Been charging to the client for 5 years man. But will double check. Thanks.

Yes. The policy is that you have to be somewhere 4 nights, which makes you eligible. Then, make sure to expense it to your practice, NOT your project. I usually drop it off my last day and pick it up the next week :)

Listen to KPMG2. He must be loved by his group. Don't ever this expenses like that on your groups p&l. It always is billable to the client. Read the policy.

@K1 Nope that's what the policy says. Check on Policy Center! I got a chargeback originally for charging to the client

I'll double check too 😰👩🏻

I expense dry cleaning every week for 7 years, always hitting the client code. It's in the policy with a week of travel like they said. It makes packing for the week so much easier to not worry about all the work clothes. I usually have 2 sets of work clothes at the dry cleaners and just pick them up each set every other week so I have a tiny bit more change in wardrobe than just the same 3 outfits being rotated.

Curious what others risk tolerance / budget is for primary housing expense. Currently looking at houses and what I ‘can’ afford according to the math feels like way more house than I ‘should’ buy. For reference I’m a B4 7th yr partner. Last year total comp was around $1.8 and total other monthly fixed expenses are in the $20k/mo neighborhood. Just wondering how others approach this. Thanks.
