TypeTable
For Finance
Expenses & reimbursements
Reimbursements get lost in inboxes and nobody's sure who's owed what. Here's how a team turns expenses into one shared log just by describing it — where a bad entry simply can't get in.
- Built by chatting
- Bad entries refused
- Totals in a sentence
01 The problem
Reimbursements get lost in inboxes
Receipts arrive as forwarded emails, chat screenshots, and photos. Some get paid twice, some never at all. By month end the team is scrolling three inboxes trying to remember who is still owed.
Nobody wants an expense platform. You just want the list to be right.
Expenses come in from everywhere and half of them get lost. I never know who still needs reimbursing.
Let's give the team one shared expense log. Tell me what you track on an expense and I'll build it.
02 Just describe it
Say it in a sentence
You type what an expense looks like in plain English. TypeTable suggests a table — which fields to include and what rules to apply — and waits for you to approve.
The category becomes a fixed list, so a random "Miscellaneous" can never creep in again.
Track person, amount, category, status, whether there's a receipt, and the date.
Here's the table I'd create:
- Person
- Amount
- Category
- Status
- Receipt
- Date
Amount can't be negative · Category from a fixed list · Date can't be in the future
03 It's ready
Live in minutes, not weeks
You hit approve and the expense log is real — a real table you can share with the whole team. No field design, no IT project.
| amountnumber | categoryenum | statusenum | datedate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $240 | Travel | Submitted | Jul 1 |
| $89 | Software | Reimbursed | Jun 24 |
| $32 | Meals | Approved | Jun 30 |
04 The team just types
The team submits by talking
No complicated forms. No training session. You set it up; teammates just say what they spent. TypeTable applies the rules and saves it clean, with the receipt flag set for them.
New expenses start as Submitted until I approve them.
Done — status defaults to Submitted on every new entry.
Add $240 flight to Jakarta, travel, I paid, receipt attached.
Saved — $240, Travel, receipt yes, Submitted, dated today.
05 Ask a question, get an answer
"How much did we spend on travel?"
No spreadsheet formulas. You ask in plain language and get the number back instantly — plus a chart of spend by category you can drop straight into the finance update.
How much did we spend on travel this month?
this month · 14 expenses
Break it down by category as a chart
06 Keep it trustworthy
Bad entries get politely refused
Every submission is checked. When a teammate mistypes a negative amount or invents a category, TypeTable won't save it — it says what's wrong and offers a fix.
Friendly, not scolding — and never silent.
Add -50 dinner, category Miscellaneous
Couldn't save that one. The amount can't be negative, and Miscellaneous isn't one of the allowed categories. Want to log it as a positive amount under Meals?
Amount ≥ 0 · Category ∈ Travel, Meals, Software, Office, Other
$50 team dinner, Meals
Saved — $50, Meals, Submitted, dated today.

What does your team keep re-typing?
If your team keeps updating the same spreadsheet, TypeTable can replace it. Describe it once and let everyone add records in plain language.
