Expense categories

Organize expenses into categories for cleaner reporting:
  • Production — Stage setup, equipment rental, transport
  • Labor — Staff wages, temporary help
  • Supplies — Bags, tags, display materials
  • Travel — Gas, hotels, meals
  • Marketing — Promotional materials, ads
  • Other — Miscellaneous expenses

Reimbursements

When team members incur expenses on behalf of the tour, they can submit them through the accounting system for reimbursement tracking.

Ledger

The ledger provides a complete financial timeline for your tour:
  • Revenue entries — Sales income from all channels
  • Expense entries — All recorded expenses
  • Adjustments — Refunds, comps, and other non-standard entries
  • Running balance — Net financial position of the tour

Exporting the ledger

Export the full ledger as a CSV or formatted report for:
  • Tax preparation — Hand off to your accountant
  • Tour settlement — Final financial reconciliation
  • Label/management reporting — Financial summaries for stakeholders
The ledger is a view of all financial activity on the tour. For detailed sales breakdowns, use the Reports system. For payout details, see Payouts.

Best practices

  • Record expenses in real time — Don’t wait until the end of the tour. Logging expenses as they happen prevents lost receipts and forgotten costs.
  • Categorize consistently — Use the same categories across tours for meaningful comparisons.
  • Attach receipts — Always upload receipt photos. You’ll thank yourself at tax time.
  • Review regularly — Check the ledger weekly during a tour to catch errors early.
