Can I add my own category when doing my expenses. There are so many categories that you ar missing for a running a small business from subscriptions to software, from auto expenses beyond gas to equipment. Your drop down list is very limiting.

​@Richard Krutick - At this time, HoneyBook doesn’t allow you to create custom expense categories — you’re limited to the preset dropdown options. I know that can feel really restrictive, especially for running a small business with subscriptions, software, equipment, and other recurring expenses that don’t fit neatly into the existing categories.

The best next step would be to submit this as a Feature Request (or upvote this one that already exists). Being able to add custom expense categories would be a huge improvement and would make expense tracking far more useful and accurate.

Hopefully this is something they expand on in the future. 💛

Yes! Being able to customize the experiences would be HUGE for business organization. There’s “office supplies” and “supplies” which doesn’t really make scene...it’s missing Travel Rental Car, Equipment, Rentals, Repairs, ect… Honestly, I’d like to get ride of Quickbooks, and only use Honeybook.
