Best Expense Management for Travel-Heavy Teams in Construction (New York)

Expense Management Challenges in Construction

As a manager of a travel-heavy team in the construction industry in New York, you're likely no stranger to the headaches of expense management travel-heavy teams construction New York. With an estimated 2,500-3,500 teams like yours in the city, requiring overnight stays at least 3 nights per week, the need for efficient expense tracking is crucial. Your team's average monthly expenses of $8,000 - $15,000, including lodging, per diem, fuel, and incidentals, can quickly add up. And, with the average cost of a hotel room in New York City being $275 per night, it's easy to see how costs can spiral out of control.

But, despite the complexity of these expenses, many construction teams in New York still rely on manual processes, such as Excel spreadsheets or basic accounting software like QuickBooks, to track and manage their expenses. This can lead to a lack of real-time visibility into spending across multiple project sites, making it difficult to track and reconcile per diem expenses with receipts. And, with prevailing wage laws (Article 9 of the New York Labor Law) requiring accurate tracking of labor costs and associated expenses, the risk of non-compliance is high. Strict adherence to IRS guidelines for expense reporting is also crucial, but often overlooked due to the complexity of manual processes.

The current expense tools used in this market are not designed with the manager in mind, but rather with the accountant or finance team in mind. And, I'd argue that most expense management tools on the market are actually designed to make accountants' lives easier, not managers' lives easier. This is evident in the fact that many tools, such as Concur or Expensify, are often too complex and expensive for smaller construction teams to adopt. As a result, managers like you are left to deal with the fallout of inefficient expense management, wasting valuable time and resources on manual processes and compliance issues.

Some of the key pain points you may be experiencing include:

• Lack of real-time visibility into spending across multiple project sites
• Difficulty in tracking and reconciling per diem expenses with receipts
• Manual processes leading to errors and delays in reimbursement

These pain points can result in significant losses, with the potential to lose $10,900 per year, or 4+ hours per week, on receipt approvals alone. And, with the cost of non-compliance being even higher, it's clear that a new approach to expense management is needed.
