You can raise with your account administrator the kind of options for expenses you would like to have, If the account administrator can't fulfill your request, them it can be brought forward to us and we can look into it FL Francois L. Controller Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice tool !" November 21, 2019 4.0 \- We no longer need to have different excel spreadsheets for each provinces (for different tax rates), and we do not need to update some of the changing tax features, such as large companies. - Reduce paper printed. - Easier approval process - Very good customer services Pros \- Ability to directly save invoices into the system from a camera - Automatic calculation of mileage - Calculation of taxes according to the applicable rules. Cons \- The speed of the system; when you click on a tab it takes a few seconds to get to the new page. - The mobile application could be more complete and allow to never need the computer. Alternatives considered [Emburse Expense Professional](https://www.capterra.com/p/99984/Certify-Travel-Expense-Management/) Reason for choosing Advataxes Advatxes is a local supplier and we feel customer support is important. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem November 25, 2019 Hello Francois, thank you for your response. We're glad you like the Canadian sales tax functionalities as well as the distance calculator, as these are core functionalities of Advataxes to properly claim recoverable taxes and lower the time required to fill out an expense report. As for your other comments we are also working on increasing the speed of certain features. SC Sebastien C. VP Innovation Textiles Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good concept, still place for improvement" November 26, 2019 3.0 Good! But definitively place for improvement on user friendliness. Pros Scanning of invoice right away. Easy place to store the invoice picture Cons Unable to write a title to a scanned invoice for easy usage later on. Unable to forward a pdf invoice received in an email (from an hotel). No app on iPhone so not able to use without Internet access. Not able to start simultaneously two separate expense reports (for example, one for expenses on Company credit card and one for expenses made on personal credits card or else, like traveling kilometer expenses). Reason for choosing Advataxes Recommended by Accounting. Only option presented to me. Still better than Excel file... Review Source Response from Ad Valorem November 28, 2019 Hello Sebastien. thank you for your feedback. We will take your suggestions into consideration as we add new features on a regular basis. UH Umma H. Finance Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ADVA tax - Pros cand cons" September 11, 2025 5.0 even though it is not integrated with accounting system, I would prefer to use this considering the approval workflow and delegation. we don't have to chase people for supporting documents for the transactions they occurred through their credit cards to reconcile at the month end time which saved time and keeps the documents in one place for auditors. Pros it has the option to correct the approved expenses claims and corporate credit cards calculation and update the supporting if the submitter submitted it wrong. I liked to have the corporate credit cards transactions uploading, approval workflow and delegation. audit train or combined reporting with receipts, localized features and tax-rules built in etc. Cons while uploading CSV file of credit card transactions is supported , it would be great if we could have integrated within the bank. which would be real time sync. Also, AVDA tax transactions are not syncing with the accounting system which is also a great lacking which creates double work for accountants. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem September 12, 2025 Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback, it is truly appreciated. We are happy you appreciate the credit card transactional upload in the account of each employee holding a credit card. First and foremost, Advataxes is designed with GST/HST and QST rules in mind so we make sure that employees can upload an image of their receipt and attach it to each bank card transaction. We may investigate in fully automating this process with financial institutions, yet the current method allows each admin to review all expense transactions before transferring them to employees for additional controls. For NPOs Advataxes is also designed to calculate GST/HST rebate rates with different recoverable rate for each province. Yet you can look if your accounting software has the flexibility to import a csv file listing all expense transactions and the net recoverable GST/HST for each expense report, in order to fully benefit from our sales tax logic and automation. AS Anca S. Finance Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Advataxes Review" June 23, 2022 5.0 Overall the experience is positive. The software does "its job". I hope that the price range will continue to be an affordable one. Pros Users' feedback was good, overall users felt that "the software is easy to use". In terms of implementation, it provided great flexibility and required very little adaptation of our current accounting policies and various types of expenditures. Cons One feature would be helpful to have is a connection to the banking credit card system, where users can log in to Advataxes and view their outstanding credit card expenses and match the expense with the receipt in real time. This would streamline the process and eliminate the follow up work on missing receipts. Reason for choosing Advataxes WE explored 3 options. Each had its own pluses and minuses. Nexonia offered an integration with our accounting system but it did not allow us to test the product which made it hard to envision the process before implementing it across the organization. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem June 27, 2022 We are pleased you liked the opportunity to try Advataxes for free in the first place. As for the credit card integration, we have been recently doing business with a third party provider (Plaid) that maintains a link with +100 North American banks. We can let you try this new feature for free, however if you keep it there will be a fee. Thank you for your feedback. It's much appreciated. JG John G. Manager, Business Development Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of use!" September 24, 2021 4.0 Really positive so far, been using it for five years (both the desktop and more recently the smartphone application). The software actually has shown minor improvements over the years but overall it has always been easy to work with. Pros The ability to use an application on your smartphone to prepare and submit expense reports for the company is really helpful. You do not need to be close to a scanner for receipts any more or at your desktop/laptop. Cons Sometimes the decimal points on the tax portion of the expenses do not work out quite well, from the automatic calculation. You have to play around with the amounts to get the total amount including tax to add up and become the same as the total on the expense receipt. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem September 28, 2021 Hi John, thank you for your comments. We are happy that you like our new IOS/Android App. When there is a discrepancy between the pre-calculated tax and the tax on an invoice, we find it is easier to edit the tax amount while the "tax included" option is selected. FS FLORA S. Accounts Payable Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly, quick access to information " January 23, 2017 5.0 I use the software both as a user to do my expense reports and to approve and process the expense reports of other employees and the software is so user-friendly that requires little training to get familiarize with. It is a great tool to track the approval process of the reports and to make reports to see how much is being spent by employees and by departments. The only downside of the software is that it does not provide the total amount being spent in each account, you have to do it manually by downloading the report in excel format and arranging it yourself. Other than that, is a great software if you are looking to go paperless since it gives you the option to upload receipts straight from your phone or computer as an attachment. Pros \- Easy to use - Paperless option - Able to trace reports and download information to excel Cons \- Does not give the total per category/account Review Source Response from Ad Valorem January 25, 2017 Thank you for your feedback this is much appreciated. As for the total per account, if your profile set-up includes a tab called "Reports" then you should see it in the menu bar, then In the drop down there is a selection for "account summary" and "Category summary" that may provide what you are looking for, Do not hesitate to set up a time for a call at support@advalorem.ca MS Meredith S. Director of Communications Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does what I need it to do" March 5, 2024 4.0 Pros I like that it is available on the phone or computer. Cons It's UX interface takes a bit of a learning. I'm not sure that I would consider it to be highly accessible. You have to be onboarded to understand how to use it properly, I wouldn't say that it is inherently intuitive. For example, in the place of buttons with text that reflects the button function, you are often interacting with imagery/symbols. Once you learn these things, this isn't an issue. It's just more of a barrier for the initial user experience and flow when you are getting to know the software. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem March 11, 2024 Thank you for your feedback, it is really appreciated. Whenever users feel the need to get a private training, these are available at no cost. For quick assistance, videos and guides are available on the website and on the app. EP Eric P. National Director of Training Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Advantages review cora" September 15, 2021 4.0 Just love it. A very good tool for our departmenr Pros Easy to used.

VR Verified Reviewer Lead scientist Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good sofware to share costs" April 23, 2019 4.0 Globaly, Advataxes was used to refund some travel costs and it worked pretty well. Pros There's a lot of flexibility with the content of the product we are putting in an advataxe report, permitting to be more in line with the need of the people. Cons The modification of the dates is hard to do and sometimes we need to cancel some entries. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem April 25, 2019 Thanks for your comments. As we continuously add functionalities, do not hesitate to request a Webex to obtain a second look at Advataxes. The Ad Valorem team CD Cecilia D. Senior Accounts Payable Coordinator Wholesale Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "AD VATAXES - PAPERLESS OPTION" April 1, 2024 4.0 Overall experience is good. It would be great if there would be the option of multiple currency. Pros The application is efficient, easy to use and best of all paperless. Reports and receipts are easily accessible for future use. All notes between administrator and user are also visible. Cons The report summary should include: \*the actual report date, not only the approved date \*the actual currency of submitted report \*the supplier name The administrator has access to see the above information in the other reports, but the team posting the summary report is missing this important information. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem April 10, 2024 We appreciate that Advataxes executes the digital transformation well of your employee/credit card expense process.

Training Consultant Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Advataxes" November 21, 2019 4.0 It helps to make the work easier without the use of a printer. reduced the work load as cell phones are used by everyone all the time. Fast and very reliable. Pros Can be used from anywhere when you have a cell phone with you. Fast and reliable. Good help from the support team whenever required.

You should know that there are some new features for the mobile that will be out shortly. NM Nicole M. Growth and partnerships manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Advataxes " July 4, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is mostly easy to use, I like that there is a multi-step authorization process and allows for timely reimbursements Cons The platform could be a little more user-friendly by having more intuitive navigation. For example, the submission of expenditure reports- often team members think their reports have been submitted but there is an extra step to complete submission for review that is not very visible/intuitive. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem July 5, 2022 Thank you for your feedback. It is really appreciated. RM Robert M. Key Account Manager Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Expense report " September 15, 2021 4.0 Overall experience is positive. However I only use it for expense reports Pros It makes filling an expense report very easy Cons It is difficult to upload receipts into the website Review Source Response from Ad Valorem September 16, 2021 Thank you for your response. We would like to let you know that there are videos in the bulletin board that show how to speed up the process of uploading images. As for paper receipts, we advise that you use our IOS/Android App as you can upload multiple receipts at once and even upload a multiple page receipt. MP Maria P.

Good customer support. Cons Would like to see additional reporting options possibilities in the future. Review Source Response from Ad Valorem April 18, 2019 Thanks for this review. You should know that we have on our "to do list" plans for additional reports, in the "Reports Tab" that is available generally to account administrators. Also Advataxes is a great enabler with the reports that can be exports to Excel, so that you can filter, yet we will add other goal oriented reports such as KM threshold per employee.

Chairman Textiles Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Approval of reports " April 16, 2019 5.0 No comments Pros The beauty of it is that it was easy to understand and use.
