Synced
Expense Claims

Employee expenses, handled.

Your team forwards receipts from Gmail. Synced extracts them, checks against policy, and queues reimbursements. No forms. No spreadsheets.

What Synced automates

The jobs the agent owns.

Gmail receipt capture

Employees forward receipt emails or take a photo. Synced does the rest.

Line-item extraction

Itemised receipts parsed with tax, tip, and category per line where available.

Policy checks

Rules for per diems, alcohol, thresholds, and receipt-required amounts — enforced automatically.

Reimbursement workflow

Approved claims batch into reimbursement runs with payment files for payroll.

Manager approvals

Policy-aware approval routing with email-based actions for managers who don't use Synced daily.

Audit-ready receipts

Every claim keeps its source receipt image and extraction log, available for tax time.

Before vs. after

Your workflow, rewritten.

Before Synced
  • Employees submit PDFs in a monthly claim spreadsheet.
  • Finance checks each line against policy manually.
  • Managers approve in bulk without reading.
  • Reimbursements happen late, with errors.
With Synced
  • Employees forward receipts as they happen.
  • Policy checks run automatically; violations flagged.
  • Managers approve the exceptions, not the routine.
  • Reimbursements happen on schedule.
Gmail capture

Receipts live in email. Your claims should too.

Synced plugs into Gmail (or Outlook). Forward a receipt from your phone. It's in the system before you put your phone down.

  • Works with personal and shared inboxes
  • Photo-to-receipt in under 10 seconds
  • No mobile app required

Policy

Policy that enforces itself.

Write your expense policy once. Synced checks every claim against it: receipt required over $25, no alcohol on Monday client dinners, per-diem caps per city.

  • Plain-English rules
  • Auto-flag policy violations
  • Exceptions routed to the policy owner

Ledger depth

Works with your chart of accounts.

Claims post to Xero or QuickBooks as bills against the employee — ready for reimbursement in your next payroll run.

Common questions.

Do employees need a login?

No. The free tier lets employees submit via email only. You pay per reviewer/approver, not per employee submitter.

Can I enforce receipt-required rules?

Yes. Policies can require a receipt over a threshold, and the agent holds claims back until one is forwarded.

Does this work for mileage and per diems?

Yes — per-diem caps by city/country and mileage at your chosen rate. Both post to the ledger with the right tax treatment.
