Company retreats are fun.
Company retreat receipts with zero notes? Less fun. 👀
If your business hosts a retreat, planning day, team offsite, or staff gathering, make sure you are tracking more than just the total spent.
Here are some retreat expenses to keep records for:
Travel ✈️
Lodging 🛋
Meals 🍕
Meeting space or event fees
Supplies and materials 📓
Team-building activities or facilitators 🎳
Volunteer hours (for our B-Corps and B-Curious friends) ⏰
And here’s the part Petty Cash Pebble really wants you to remember:
Do not just save the receipt. Add the business purpose.
~Who was there?
~What was the expense for?
~How did it connect to the business?
Your future self, your bookkeeper, and your tax professional will thank you.
