Business owners and financial managers have plenty of expenses to juggle from individual employees, teams, and departments. You have several accounts set up for your business, but the expenses don't seem to add up properly and they aren't giving you the insights you need. QuickBooks and other bookkeeping software have a section for class tracking, which gives you a way to add custom categories to each expense. This feature may not seem like a big deal at first, but it's quickly apparent how useful it is to keeping on top of your business's expenses.
You aren't limited to a single account for a particular set of expenses. If you want to get a company wide view of a specific set of expenses, such as per diem meals, office supplies, or inventory, assigning a class to these purchases in addition to an account provides you with valuable information. If it seems like spending is out of control and your expense accounts are running dry, it may be easier to figure out everyone in the office is taking clients out to fancy steakhouses instead of company-approved restaurants through classes than going account by account to figure out where the issue is.
