Once an expense is approved in Zoho Expense, it automatically records the journal entry or expense in Zoho Books, categorizing it to the correct Chart of Accounts and reducing the liability or cash account instantly. > > **Cons**: While Zoho’s OCR is good, it can struggle with handwritten receipts, faded thermal paper (common at gas stations), or non-standard layouts. Users still need to double-check the "scanned" data before submitting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. ----- ### "TRRC review" — 5.0/5 > **Sinethemba** | *04 June 2026* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Zoho Expense makes it easy to record advances, upload receipts, create reports, and track expenses in one place. The reporting helps the accounts team see what has been spent, what still needs to be approved, and what needs to be reimbursed or reconciled. > > **Cons**: The interface can be confusing at first, especially when working with advances, reimbursements, and company-paid expenses. It is not always immediately clear which option to choose, and small mistakes can make the reimbursement amount show incorrectly. > > Overall, Zoho Expense has been very useful for managing company expenses, advances, receipts, and approvals. Once the process is understood, it gives the accounts team better visibility and helps users keep proper records. It does take some setup and training, but it is a strong system.zing ----- ### "Easy and Fun" — 5.0/5 > **Genevieve** | *31 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its so easy to configure, to customise and to use \! The support is also really great even though they're a large company. > > **Cons**: I'm not easily finding how to make the attachments mandatory. Otherwise very happy with my experience. > > Easy and fun \! ----- ### "Positive about Zoho Expense" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *17 November 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It enables the quick capture of receipts through autoscan, and takes pictures of receipts for tax purposes > > **Cons**: I could not delegate receipt capturing to users outside the organisation, i.e. consultants, etc. for them to also allocate their receipts for billing purposes. > > Overall a very positive experience using Zoho Expense as it enables the digitising of receipts through utoscn, nd retaining images for tax purposes. ----- ### "Great for small businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *18 March 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love being able to do all of book keeping for my crafting business. I am able to track everything I need to manage all my expenses. > > **Cons**: The only thing that is inconvenient is having so submit requests. I don't have employees, I am a sole-proprietor, I am the one submitting the receipts, and the only one doing the book keeping. It's just an extra step I am having to go through. > > It is great to be able to keep track of all of my supplies and other expenses. I love being able to see the receipts and categorized them where needed. ----- Page: 1 / 50\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142384/zoho-expense?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142384/zoho-expense) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
