Free Trial

Users can opt for a free 30-day trial if they'd like to test TriNet Expense out. The trial doesn't have access to all features; it excludes options like tax tracking, credit card reconciliation, most integrations, and project-based time tracking. However, it's still beneficial for prospective clients to test out the software and see if TriNet Expense works for them.

Features and Integrations

Although a lesser-known product, TriNet Expense provides several services that help it keep up with some of the more dominant players in the expense tracking/small-business accounting market (e.g. QuickBooks, FreshBooks, etc.). TriNet Expense easily syncs with your bank accounts and credit cards even features an upload option for receipt photos that helps businesses reduce the amount of paperwork surrounding their bookkeeping efforts. TriNet also integrates with other applications such as QuickBooks, Tripit, and Intacct.

GPS-Enabled

Unlike QuickBooks and FreshBooks, TriNet Expense's mobile app is GPS-enabled, allowing users to instantly and accurately project and log their travel expenses. This product supports 160 different forms of currency, and is considerably less expensive than many of its competitors. Another plus is TriNet's incidents reporting page on its desktop homepage. This provides users with an open forum to discuss any challenges or complications with using TriNet Expense, and similarly allows TriNet Group, Inc. to respond to these problems immediately.

Mobile App

TriNet Expense's mobile app is supported by iOS and Android. Having a mobile version allows for greater convenience while traveling or working remotely.

Issues with TriNet

TriNet Expense falls short in a couple of areas. First, its encryption level is only a 128- out of the possible 256-bit SSL encryption used by banks. In early May of 2015, Forbes reported that TriNet Group, Inc. had ventured into "oversold territory" suggesting that TriNet's stock is being sold at a price much lower than its assumed value. And while this does not necessarily affect the quality of their products or customer service, it should raise the concerns of potential investors.

Costs Add Up

Likewise, it should be noted that TriNet Expense's paid packages are charged by the user per month; so for larger businesses, the cost can stack up quite quickly.
