Indirect Accounting Integrations
Overview
Along with the direct integrations Expensify supports, there’s also an option to integrate with other accounting solutions via a flat-file import.
When you set up one of these accounting packages in Expensify, we will automatically create and add a relevant export template. The template will allow you to quickly and easily transfer expense and report data to your accounting package.
