Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about expense report titles and the TallyTitle generator — no invented statistics, no marketing fluff.

What is an expense report? +

An expense report is a document that records business expenses an employee incurred for a specific purpose — a trip, a project, a client meeting. It lists the date, purpose, amount, category and payment method of each expense, plus receipts, so the employee can be reimbursed and the company can record the spending. Full guide.

What should I name my expense report? +

Include the category (travel, meals, office supplies), the period (January 2026, Q3 2026) and, for shared inboxes, the department or owner. Example: "Expense Report — Sales Travel, Q3 2026". Keep the same pattern for every report. See examples.

Does TallyTitle create an expense report? +

No. TallyTitle generates title suggestions only. It does not itemize expenses, attach receipts, calculate totals or submit anything. Use your company's template or expense software (Expensify, Concur, Zoho Expense) for the report itself.

Is TallyTitle accounting or tax advice? +

No. Titles carry no compliance weight — a clear title does not make expenses deductible or reimbursable. Follow your employer's expense policy and consult your finance team or a tax professional for real advice.

Is the generator private? +

Yes. It is plain JavaScript running in your browser. It sends nothing over the network, sets no cookies and stores nothing. See the privacy policy.

How do real expense systems name reports? +

SAP Concur's Expense Assistant auto-names reports "Month Expenses (date)" — e.g. "September Expenses (09/01/2026)". Imitating that pattern ("October Expenses (10/01/2026)") is a solid default if your team files manually. Naming conventions guide.

What expense categories should I use in titles? +

Match your employer's category list exactly — common ones are travel, meals, office supplies, marketing, utilities and mileage. Avoid renaming categories in the title ("Dining" vs "Meals"); consistency is what keeps audits painless.

How do I handle two reports in the same period? +

Add a disambiguator: "Travel Expenses — March 2026 (Austin)" vs "Travel Expenses — March 2026 (Denver)". Meaningful suffixes beat "(1)" every time.

Can I use these titles for client billing? +

Yes, as labels. Freelancers often title per project: "Project Aurora — Travel Expenses, March 2026". The titles are just text — the billing amounts and any contractual rules remain your responsibility.

What is a monthly vs yearly expense report? +

A monthly expense report shows a company's routine purchases for one month; a yearly expense report aggregates the year and is often used when writing off expenses on the business's taxes. Title each with its period so the two never mix.
