Create a new expense

Updated over a month ago

With Billdu you can save your expenses, add bills and incoming invoices. Vendors are saved to your Clients section. You can also select a client and use it as a vendor.

Vendors count as clients - check your subscription.

You can also create Recurring expenses.

Delete or add new expense categories on our Website in the section Expenses - Categories.
