Expenses are the bane of my life and I am the bane of my long suffering colleagues in my company’s finance department doubtless sometimes feel like post-trauma stress counsellors, helping me piece together a meaningful narrative about my recent business travel past based on a few shattered fragments of receipts and tatty tickets…
But JetSet, an application for the iPhone seems like it may actually turn me into someone who can cope with normal executive life. It quickly lets you enter the type of expense, take some notes, enter the amount and take a photo of the receipt… so you won’t lose it…
And then export the results to a Google Docs spreadsheet all ready to email to accounts – woohoo!
The brilliant thing for someone as logistically challenged as myself is that it almost turns getting all your receipts logged into a game. Although I do appreciate that the aforementioned colleagues in finance may not appreciate me going for ever greater high scores on each trip… Needless to say it also appears to be a massive time saver and stress reducer, by making sure that expenses neevr build up.
I think it’s on special offer at the moment for less then a couple of quid. Given how many receipts I suspect I lose on an average business trip, this thing has probably paid for itself already 1.5 days into me latest journey…
