Need to submit expense reports in a particular format? If your company uses an Excel template, then it's no problem. NeatReceipts will output reports in Excel, Word, QuickBooks, Quicken and Microsoft Money formats.

In addition to NeatReceipts Professional, the company offers an enterprise edition that allows companies to customize expense reports with consistent formatting and adds a component that allows expenses to be submitted to managers and finance departments for approval. For pricing and details, the company suggests contacting it directly.

Despite some minor drawbacks, this package can be truly useful in organizing those scraps of paper receipts, cards and other documents that some of us would rather shove in a drawer and forget.
