Why track expenses
Tracking expenses gives you a complete picture of your business finances. When you know where your money goes, you can find savings, budget better, and prepare for tax season with less stress.

Receipt uploads
Wemu lets you attach a photo of the receipt to each expense. This is invaluable for record-keeping and tax purposes.
- Tap the camera icon when creating an expense
- Take a photo of the receipt or upload from your gallery
- The receipt image is stored with the expense record
Recurring expenses
For expenses that repeat every month (like rent or software subscriptions):
- Create the expense as usual
- Toggle on Recurring
- Set the frequency (monthly, weekly, etc.)
- Wemu will automatically create the expense entry each period
Editing expenses
To update an expense:
- Find it in the expense list
- Tap to open
- Make your changes
- Save
Deleting expenses
If you entered an expense by mistake, you can delete it. Open the expense and tap Delete. Be careful — deleted expenses are removed from your reports.
Tip: Log expenses as they happen rather than saving them for later. It takes 30 seconds to enter an expense right after you pay for something, but trying to reconstruct a month's worth of expenses from memory is frustrating and inaccurate.
Viewing your expense list
The expense list shows all entries sorted by date. You can filter by:
- Category
- Date range
- Branch (location)
- Amount range
