Expense Reports

Expense reports are a vital element of a company’s financial statement. In Zoho Invoice, you can find detailed reports that bring you up to the minute information on your business spending.

Reports are generated for the current month by default, but you can modify the date range and run a report for expenses incurred between any two arbitrary dates, making it extremely easy to obtain details of your company’s financial status between any period. You can print and export these reports with ease using the respective options provided in the top left corner of the reports section.
