How to Categorize Business Expenses
Categorize business expenses by matching each receipt or charge to one of twelve broad labels and reusing the same label for the same merchant every month. Freelancers and small business owners need consistency, not a complex chart of accounts. Inconsistent labels create rework at month-end and confuse exports. This guide includes a copy-paste category list, a merchant lookup table, and a 30-second rule for uncertain charges.
