Expense Sharing Corporate
Employee expense claims, approvals, finance review and reimbursement in one place. This guide explains how a company gets access, how to set it up, and how a claim travels from an employee to a recorded payment.
Overview
Corporate is a separate product from the free Expense Sharing app that friends and flatmates use. It has its own company workspace, roles, approvals and finance tools — and nothing from one is ever mixed into the other.

How a company gets access
Corporate is not switched on for everyone. Access works in two directions.
You are an employee
You are setting up a company
- 1
Create or sign in to your Expense Sharing account
Open /corporate and choose Corporate login or Create account. You sign up with your mobile number and a one-time code. - 2
Request or enter access
If your account can create companies you will see the company form. Otherwise enter the creator code we sent you, or ask us for access. - 3
Create the company
Enter the company name, base currency and the month your financial year starts. You become the first Company Admin.
Set up your company
- 1
Review the company profile
Check the base currency, financial year, logo and time zone. Every report is totalled in the base currency. - 2
Add departments and cost centres
Departments drive approval routing; cost centres let finance allocate spend. - 3
Check the categories
Twelve default categories are created for you. Rename, add or retire them to match how you account. - 4
Invite people
Invite by phone or email, or upload a CSV for a bulk invite. Set each person's employee code, title, department and reporting manager. - 5
Assign roles
Five role templates are provided: Company Admin, Finance, Approver, Employee and Auditor. The last Company Admin cannot be removed, so you cannot lock yourself out. - 6
Design the approval workflow
Choose the steps — manager, department head or a role such as Finance — and any amount thresholds. The workflow is frozen when a report is first submitted. - 7
Set policies
Add limits and rules. A WARN asks the employee for a justification and shows it to approvers; a BLOCK stops submission.
How a claim travels
- 1
Employee creates a report
Add lines with date, category, merchant, amount, currency and payment method, and attach receipts. Foreign-currency lines keep their original amount and are totalled in the base currency. - 2
Policy and duplicate checks
Limits are checked as you type and again on submit. The same receipt file used twice is blocked for one person and flagged across people. - 3
Submit
The report goes to the first approver. The approver can never be the submitter: if the chain resolves to you it moves on to your manager, then to another Company Admin. - 4
Approve, reject, return or exclude a line
Approvers never edit amounts. They approve, reject, send back for correction, or exclude a line with a reason. Sending back starts a new round when the employee resubmits. - 5
Finance verifies
A Finance step ticks each receipt as verified. After this the report is approved and payable. - 6
Payment is recorded
Finance records the payment or adds it to a batch with a reference, date and method. The payee cannot record their own payment.
Who can do what
People who leave a company keep read access to their own reports until each is closed plus 90 days. A person who is not a member of a company cannot see it exists.
Troubleshooting
FAQs
Is Corporate part of the free Expense Sharing app?
No. Personal Expense Sharing stays free for friends and groups. Corporate is a separate product with its own company workspace, and it is not available to every account.
How do we try it?
Contact InventiPro. We enable it for your account and can issue a one-time creator code. We do not share public test logins.
Does InventiPro pay my employees?
No. Payments are recorded — reference, date and method — not executed. You still pay through your bank.
Can someone approve their own claim?
Never. The workflow skips the submitter and moves to their manager, then another Company Admin.
Which currencies are supported?
Lines can be in any currency; the report is totalled in your company's base currency using the exchange rate recorded on each line.
Is there a mobile app?
Corporate runs in the browser on any phone. A dedicated InventiPro Expense mobile app is being prepared and is not released yet.
Is it priced per employee?
Corporate is sold separately, priced per active member per month, with its own trial. Contact us for current plans.
