Expenses & rebilling
Log the cost, keep the receipt, mark whether the client should pay it, and pull billable items onto the next invoice. Recurring studio costs can post themselves.
- 1
Create the expense on the right client or project
Enter the amount, date, and who it belongs to. If the cost is for an engagement, put it on that project so it sits next to the hours.
- 2
Attach the receipt
Keep the file on the expense. That is the record you want when the client asks, or when you export — not a photo buried in a camera roll.
- 3
Mark it billable or keep it as studio overhead
Billable expenses are the ones you intend to put on an invoice. Studio costs stay in tobbli for your books without landing on the client.
- 4
Pull billable costs onto the invoice, or let recurring ones post
When you bill the project, add the billable expenses as lines. Recurring studio costs can log themselves on a schedule so rent and tools are not forgotten each month.
Rebilling versus your own overhead
If the client agreed to pay for a train ticket, it is billable. If it is your Adobe plan, it is overhead unless you explicitly resell it. Mixing the two on one invoice is how arguments start — split them at log time.
Receipts when you leave or export
Export from workspace settings includes your records. Keep receipts attached so the export is complete. tobbli does not replace your tax advisor; it keeps the files next to the amounts.
