This is the payoff. Your accounts are linked, your receipts are matched, your queue is clear — so the numbers below are real, not a demo. Here's where to look.
Your dashboard
The dashboard is your morning glance: profit and loss, cash on hand, and a suggested tax set-aside so a quarterly bill doesn't blindside you. Check it for thirty seconds and you know where the business stands.
Reports
Reports give you the real statements — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow — for any date range. This is what you'd send a lender, or pull up when you're deciding whether you can afford that hire.
Your draft Schedule C
The Tax center keeps a running draft of your Schedule C from your categorized transactions, plus a quarterly estimate of what you'll owe. ExpenseGhost drafts and estimates these figures. It does not file them. When the time comes, you or your accountant review the draft and file the return.
Paid any contractor $600 or more? They show up under Contractors as a 1099-NEC candidate, so January isn't a scramble.
Hand it off
When it's time to file, go to Exports and download your tax-ready packet: a draft Schedule C PDF, a transactions CSV, and a ZIP of every matched receipt. Your accountant opens a folder, not a panic.
That's day one. From here, ExpenseGhost does the daily work and you check in when you want to.
ExpenseGhost provides tax estimates and tax-ready exports. We are not a tax preparer and do not file returns. Estimates are informational — verify every number with a licensed tax professional before filing.
