Hire Smarter. Work Better.
The expense tracker built for traveling trades. Log per diem and tax-home days across states, snap every receipt, and hand your preparer a CPA-ready report at tax time — W-2 and 1099 assignments each done right.
A non-taxable per diem needs a tax home and a day-by-day trail. Track it here and more of that money stays yours.
Log which state you worked each day so multi-state filing is clean — no reconstructing your year from memory in April.
Snap receipts as you go and log mileage at the IRS rate. Tax time is a download, not a weekend.
Set your tax home and every assignment, with a day & state log that supports a non-taxable per diem — based on the GSA rate for where you are.
Log the miles from your tax home to the job at the current IRS rate — one of the biggest deductions travelers miss.
Photograph a receipt and it is filed — tools, boots, lodging, whatever it takes to work.
A split-year summary your tax preparer can run with — W-2 and 1099 assignments each reported the right way, as a clean PDF.
See one running figure — per diem, mileage and expenses — for everything you have documented this year.
