Locum tenens work follows an independent contractor model, which means you’re responsible for setting aside money for taxes and keeping tabs on business-related expenses. Tracking things like the miles you drive, the medical equipment you purchase, and even your meals while on assignment can turn into [tax benefits](https://blog.vistastaff.com/keep-more-money-in-your-pocket-6-tax-tips-for-1099-employees) and deductions. Luckily, technology is there to make it easier. Try these 5 powerful expense tracking mobile apps. They support all major currencies, offer multiple options for tracking mileage, and integrate with popular accounting solutions to make bookkeeping a breeze, but each offers something a little different. ## Expensify No receipt? No problem. With Expensify, you can import credit card transactions and automatically have an IRS guaranteed eReceipt for any purchase under $75. Expensify includes SmartScan technology to make mobile receipt capture and expense creation easy. You can enter mileage manually, use your phone’s GPS or snap a picture of your odometer. Expensify does more than time, mileage, and expense tracking, too. Features like free flight alerts and automatic expense reporting based on trip itineraries make travel easier. Plus, you can use Expensify even if your phone is out of service or in airplane mode.

But Shoeboxed takes it a step further by automatically extracting the vendor, total amount, payment method and date from the receipt, and then placing it into the most common tax categories. With original receipt images, you can also instantly create expense reports that you can send right from your phone. File and track on the go and have access to a searchable, sortable archive of your categorized, IRS-accepted receipts. The mobile app is linked to your own personal account at Shoeboxed.com, so you can do more with your receipts from your computer. Free on [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shoeboxed-receipt-mileage/id322143854?mt=8) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shoeboxed.android.phonegapapp&hl=en) ## BizXpenseTracker Workaholic? BizXpenseTracker touts similar mileage and expense tracking features as above and adds the convenience of automatic overtime calculations. An elegant user interface, smart functions, and customization options combine to make data entry and reporting faster and more personal. $6.99 on [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bizxpensetracker-expense-mileage/id353431586?mt=8) / $2.99 on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elvin.bizexpense&hl=en) Concur If you’re on the road or in the sky frequently as a locum tenens professional, Concur helps you stay productive on the go.
